I suspect to a large extent that stepping back and assessing the series is in some sense unfair if one wishes to understand why the series is so popular. As one reviewer stated, "The way [Meyer] manages the reader's curiosity, maintaining tension and controlling the flow of information, is simply virtuosic. She creates a compulsion in the reader that is not unvampiric." I can agree with that statement. I find the series flawed and sickly sweet but on the other hand I do think the way Meyer manages the readers curiosity is really well done. Last edited by pelagius; 07-10-2008 at 04:23 PM. |

I think she might have a copywrite on the word "incredulously"

I am a 30-something LDS woman, so I know many of these women. They all seem to read the books. I also know plenty of women this age who are non-LDS and they never heard of it. I agree it must be the poor tastes of a wider audience, I just don't know who that audience is. I guess one thing that originally drew me was that Meyer is a 1996 BYU grad, and so am I. |

Farrah, said I think on one of the big mom forums here in Dallas a lot of women were gushing over it, and the vast majority of women on that board are not LDS.

One more thought on her writing. Meyer said the following about her writing:
