Stephen King says Stephenie Meyer ‘can’t write worth a darn’

This is really funny. OK Steve, you’re not exactly Hesse or Steinbeck yourself. But according to this Access Hollywood article, Stephen stated: “Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."Yet Steve states he understands the “appeal” of the series. Well of course, it’s lowest common denominator fluff. Not exactly a revelation. Next. What is worse? A mediocrity ripping a hack or a mediocrity calling another ‘terrific’? Here is the article. Also a review on King. And Rowling ain’t Thomas Wolfe. This is why I read classics. Yawn.
