    a.) definite, there is multiple action from approximately pg 3 hundred to the tip b.) i think of that once you commence the Twilight sequence, you won't be in a position to offer up whether you opt to by way of fact it is so entrancing so i might say proceed the sequence in case you extremely wanna understand what occurs. i might believe a prior poster, that New Moon is the main severe interior the sequence(nonetheless it isn't any longer my sought after interior the sequence). Being the biggest Twilight Fan interior the worldwide, I of direction might supply it 10/10 yet a number of my friends who did no longer delight in the e book as much as I did even gave it an 8.5/10 c.) No, i think of the casting of the action picture is truthfully ideal, it is the definitely action picture itself i'm fearful approximately. Seeing the expert preview sort of killed it for me in view that scene on the very end is misguided on the grounds which you recognize, the Cullens do no longer fly, they run yet, i desire the action picture remains solid. d.) in straightforward terms a correction: The action picture would be released on December 12, 2008, the fourth and extremely final e book(sob!)Breaking first gentle, would be released on August 2, 2008. :D i'm so excited!!!

    Okay, I agree- He shouldn't have addressed Meyer's writing like that. It just wasn't the proper way to do it. However, if you read the whole thing, you'd see that he did add something good into it.

    Stephen King is by far one of the best authors of our time (in my opinion, at least). I think he was comparing Meyer's writing to most people's. He used J.K. Rowling as an example.

    I don't really think he meant it in a disrespectful way, but what he's used to isn't worthy of Meyer's writing. Compared to him, Meyer is just... Well, not good, and he knows it.

    Long live the King!

    Also, to the girl who doubts the existence of The Shining merchandise, you obviously haven't looked very hard. In my dorm building alone I've seen three posters and one shirt for the Stanley Kubrick film.

    Just cause he is a great author doesn't mean that he can go around saying stuff like that. You can't exactly compare authors, each has their own style. But Twilight is not suppose to appeal to him, so really he should just shut up. Cause it you can say anything nice don't say anything at all. I know that he did say some good things at the end but that really doesn't make a difference.

    Ha-ha! I'm so glad he said what most of us already knew!

    "Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good." -- Stephen King

    That should be the blurb on Meyer's next book cover :D

    yeah, and he had every right to.

    Oh, and his name is STEPHEN KING. and he has written way more than The Stand and The Shinning. His books are also worth reading, unlike Meyers.
