MormonTimes.com: Stephenie Meyer, the million-dollar vampire mom
3 comments | Read story
Was there ever another William Shakespeare? Jane Austen? Charles Dickens? Percy Shelley--and Mary Shelley, too, for that matter? Mark Twain? CS Lewis? JRR Tolkien? Zora Neale Hurston? Stephen King? NNOOO!!!! There wasn't! EVER!
Moral of the story: Learn to appreciate an author for what he--and she--is. "Twilight" is a distinctly different series from "Harry Potter." Comparison is interesting analytically, but trying to pretend one author really IS someone else is flat-out dumb. Enjoy the books, but stop trying to conflate the authors' identities, for heck's sakes.

J.K. Rowling might not be shakespere, but Meyer is not Rowling. by this time in Rowling's career, she had sold over 100million copies and was getting rave reviews from esteemed literary critics and fans alike. 4 years in, meyer has sold 17 million copies, and has been blasted lately by literary professonals and critics, along with many of her fans for her latest book, which has been blasted for its rough sex, glorified pedophillia, graphic and vulger birthing sequences, and lack of consitancy with the first three books along with the lack of any real editing.
No, Twilight and meyer is not the next Harry Potter.
