It's true. Meyer is not a talented writer while JK definitely is. Nonetheless, I really love the Twilight series. I'm one of those fans who is aware that Meyer is a crap writer, however, I think she has a lovely imagination.

HAHA! I hope Stephanie doesn't hear about this.

Prof. McGonagall 02-04-2009 05:53 AM

I read this on Yahoo and I was PO'd until I got to the part where he spoke highly of our beloved JKR!!! Otherwise, there would be major backlash!

half_blood_prince 02-04-2009 06:28 AM

Stephen King is my new hero.


Bwrahahaha! As if I couldn't possibly respect him any more as a professional writer! :lol:

Great quote! Thank you for bringing us that one, MasterofMystery! :)

lol. I love Twilight, too, but Jo is a better writer than Stephenie :yes:
But I love both series <3
I think they shouldn't be compared though, they're not even about the same things.

I'm such a girl sometimes... :erm: hah

I don't like his comment very much. Some things you just don't say, and especially not when the whole word is going to be reading it.

MalfoyzBeloved 02-04-2009 10:54 AM

It was hard not to burst out laughing at this :D Ill never forget it.. if anyone does forget this that'll be amazing.
Gotta love Stephen King. Only he can say stuff like that and get away with it (but he better look out and :hide2: for awhile... those Twi-hards might not be too happy about the blunt truth... who the heck came up with that word? It sounds weird :P)

I mean, I used to be a Twihard but now... they arent HORRIBLE or anything, but Bella and "role model" should NEVER be used in the same sentence and Edward... is ok sometimes but overall is very irritating. The mutant spawn and Jacob just made me P.Oed at the end of the series. It was average until then. Then it fell off the cliff and it should stay down there! *its still my secret vice (read Twilight 12 times even tho that isn't the best book of the series by far*)
I :heart2: Emmett, Jasper, and Alice
(especially Emmett in book 3 of Breaking Dawn*cough*)
Fangirl moment over...

Steph and J.K should NEVER be compared. Both have their own talents and such, but J.K, quite simply... obviously has much more :)

lillypotter.7 02-04-2009 11:53 AM

i love king but i love stephenie and jo as well what a mean thing to say about Edward Cullen and Bella SWan i think Stephanie did a great job at it ......love you Stephen but you totally wrong about Mmmmeyer.......i love all the work of all three authors

each individaul has their own strenghths and weaknesses and they have different thngs to offer

i agree that we all dont like the same thing but at least consider that we all could possiably like all three authors and still be happy some on dont bash one because you feel you better

Felix_Wildcat 02-04-2009 12:58 PM

I agree with all the Twilighters and Meyer-supporters up there. Stephen was too hard on that. JKR and SM are both authors and have their own style of writing and mistakes. Don't judge them too hard. Remember, even if you don't like Twilight, its fans and author deserve some respect.

I support both vampires and wizards.

elmo_the_emo 02-04-2009 01:00 PM

BURRRRNNNN!!!!!!

lol hahahahahahahah

HollyCullen 02-04-2009 01:41 PM

I agree, but they are both best-sellers so apparently who gives a crap what he says?

But I am glad he respects J.K.R.

DeathEater24601 02-04-2009 03:27 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *diiies*

I love Stephen King. XD

That's the best thing I've heard all day.

phoenix_tears 02-04-2009 04:26 PM

:lol:

Awesome quote !

Stephen King is an awesome writer ! I like Twilight but Jo and Hp are way better .. no comparison !

:D

Ama 02-04-2009 04:47 PM

I read Twilight, because I don't like judging a book I have not read. I went there completely open minded for people whom I trusted recommended it. :lol: It wasn't to my taste. Meyer's narrative style leaves a lot to be desired and the characters while momentarily entertaining in the end show none (if very little) character development to keep me interested.

JK Rowling wrote books that I love. Not that I'm still willing to forgive her for that last book. (Merlin, you can say whatever you want but DH was simply horrible fanfiction in a hardcover) At least Jo provided me with incredibly believable characters (most of the time) through several years and seven books.

And Stephen King...is Stephen King. I love him and his work. He's always been rather eccentric as most writers tend to be especially writers of his genre. He simply just said what he felt and I respect that.

Now, that I got all the serious stuff out: Dude. EL. OH. EL. HAHA.

Jinny_Watson_7 02-04-2009 05:58 PM

Hahah well said Steven^^
i dont like this twilight i watched the whole movie and didnt see anything cool in it...sorry all the twi-lovrs everyone has a taste u know...

laura-tonks 02-04-2009 07:23 PM

:lol: Go Stephen King! Tell them like it is!

HARRY LOVER#1 =) 02-04-2009 08:15 PM

OOOH.... That was harsh!!! (But funny)
I dont like the lack of humility![:/]

Slytherin Fox 02-04-2009 09:16 PM

I'm glad he likes Jo, but I like Twilight, as well! Is there no happy medium?

linzeroo 02-04-2009 10:07 PM

Well...that was rude. Personally, after reading a few of Stephen Kings novels AND writing my Junior year research paper on him, i have personally come to the conclusion that his books are dragged out and boring. Oh, and frankly hes...uhmm well...pretty odd. I would read a Stephenie Meyer novel over a Stephen King novel any day hahahha

h/g ship lover 02-04-2009 10:17 PM

Oooh...haha...ouch. Stephen King is so awesome! I like the twilight series very much but I agree that Jo is a fantastic author and Stephenie Meyer is nothing compared to her.

dobby freak 02-04-2009 10:36 PM

King, your mean! I. Hate. You.

Sorry If I offended anyone

ladycplum 02-04-2009 11:12 PM

This just makes me love Stephen King more. Meyer got pwned! :xd:
