We are in the dawn of the new vampire era.   The Twilight saga had seem to capture our thirsts for more vampire stories.  I hate to say it but I really don’t like how she had written the books.  Twilight fans, before you throw your tomatoes at me hear me out first.  I do love a good vampire story.  Dracula was the first vampire we knew, well maybe aside from The Count from Sesames Street.  Depends when you where born.  Anyhoo, I think Miss Meyer had some good ideas.  The plot is good, though not the great.  So I give her points for her efforts.  But her writing style is not at par with the greats.  Though I admit and guilty of owning the whole series and even read the excerpts from Midnight Sun.  My opinion still stands, she’s not a really good writer.  So I really wonder why people kept comparing her to Miss Rowling.  Their genre aren’t the same nor their writing style.   Meyer’s characters lack depth, they are 2D cut out paper dolls.  Don’t get me wrong, I like her idea for the Cullen family.  Unlike Rowling’s have more in depth look on the characters lives and thoughts a 3D effect.  Your probably itching to throw that tomato on me now.  But before you do, try reading the Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice first.  Then decide which vamps are better.

  1. i started reading and when you got to the part about how she isn’t that great a writer I was JUSt thinking of ANne Rice’s vampire series and how they pwn XD ALtho I haven’t read twilight and i wonder if i should watch then read or read then watch. normally if I read a book then watch I am disappointed in the end… :(


  2. Usually books are better than the movie. Its hard to put in motion the feeling of a character or their thoughts. For this book if you are really curious, watch the movie first. If you like what you see, then borrow the first book. If you like the book then buy the whole series. ^^
