Call me shallow, but ...

Stephen King totally calls out Stephanie Meyer on being rubbish as a writer. All the hype always seems to revolve around the obsessive fanatics who have latched onto the series and critical analysis of her works are panned by those same fans. It's very nice to see someone say it very loudly and very clearly that Meyer just can't write. On the other hand, King also acknowledges where her audience, at least should, lies and why the series works for that target demographic. Of course that doesn't explain the Twi-Moms, but I guess you can't have everything.
