Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Stephanie Meyer was never a good writer. Has anybody read her rough draft for Midnight Sun? In one part she uses the word would 15 times in 4 paragraphs, and she never met an adverb she didn't like. A talented writer will try to use 10 or less adverbs in an entire novel. She will use 15 in a single chapter. Yet, despite her short-comings, she does have a vivid imagination, and was able to create a plot and characters that are beloved by her fans. It is unfortunate that she chose to sell out their faith in her by creating a plot that contradicts almost everything she created before. I believe part of the problem is Meyer's desire to become a writer of adult fiction. Her writing style is better suited to the young adult market. She should embrace her position as a best-selling young adult author rather than trying to introduce adult themes into her juvenile book. J.K. Rowling managed to bring adult themes into her books without alienating her previous fans and target audience. Meyer's has failed in her attempt to do so. If she wants to do her fans a favor, she should give up on the idea of writing more Vampire fiction, or at least more with the Twilight characters, and create a new series from scratch, only this time, returning to her young-adult roots. I feel bad for all the fans of this series who were subjected to a book that was rushed and poorly edited. As Clint Eastwood says in Magnum Force, "A Man's got to know his limitations." Stephanie Meyers tried to rise above her limitations and failed.
