Stephenie Meyer--the new Anne Rice? If you haven't heard of her yet-don't worry because you’re about to. Stephanie is a budding new fiction writer that has recently topped the charts of the New York Times bestseller list, and is sweeping the hearts of science fiction fans everywhere. She has two books out thus far (which were both absolutely fabulous), and is currently writing her third.
Her book was a New York Times editor's choice, an Amazon "Best Book of the Decade", a Teen People "Hot List" pick, and a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year--and that’s just the first novel!
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight (the first novel), is a love story that grips you and won't let go. In addition, Meyer's talented writing make the reader fall head over heals for her characters in an incredibly addictive habit (I read both books, which are both well over 500 pages, in two days).
Both novels revolve around the characters of Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen. Isabella is a high school junior who has been forced to move into her estranged father's home in the small town of Folks somewhere on the west coast. Edward is an almost 100 year old vampire, who will forever appear to be 17, who lives his eternity practicing abstinence from drinking blood. His struggle to be good despite the overwhelming odds against him capture the reader immediately. Both books revolve around their lives, their love, and the struggles (both human and super natural).
Overall I would give these books an A-. Their story lines are wonderful and they are exceptional at drawing the reader in. However, Stephanie's writing style is a tad bit inexperienced--but I have nothing but high hopes for her and her future works.
