Harry Potter is Out, Twilight is In, HP VS Twilight/Rowling VS Meyer stuff Options

[Tung]

J.K. Rowling can pass the torch over to Stephenie Meyer now.

Meyer's Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in her Twilight series sold 1.3 million copies on its first day of release, August 2nd.

For those of you bad with math, that's A LOT of books!

This past Friday night, thousands of bookstores and libraries hosted midnight parties across the country to help fuel these astounding figures.

We mentioned previously that due to the overwhelming demand for the title, the publisher went back for a second printing of 500,000 copies prior to publication, to the current in-print figure of 3.7 million copies.

The publisher has also confirmed the upcoming publication of The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide.

I can't exactly say JK Rowling is up there with Tolkein, Lewis etc etc, but at least her stuff's enjoyable to read; like Cristy said, it's descriptive and witty.

I've been veering away from Twilight for the past year and I gave up a few days ago and read the first book. It's soo badly-written yet so addicting...

And it really ticks me off when people claim that Stephenie Meyer's an amazing author, and that Twilight is written really well. I mean, seriously, read the very first paragraph that starts the book (excluding prologue):

"My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt — sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a parka."

No book can be actually good with that kind of beginning. It sounds like a fanfiction imo. :/

Despite all that though, I'm still an Edward Cullen fantard.
