Stephanie Meyer


Stephanie Meyer has topped the charts with her series called Twillight. Youth all over the nation have been consumed with reading her novels. Library waiting lists are as long as 50 plus people waiting for the FIRST book. Ask any young person about Twillight and I would speculate that they at least know of the book. It is apart of the culture right now and is as recognizable among youth as the Starbucks logo is among adults.

So I begin this week's blogs with a few questions.
What makes Stephanie Meyer's books so interesting?

I would predict that Stephanie Meyer does an excellent job capturing in words the emotions and frustrations that many teens feel but are unable to express. Many times hard for a teen to discuss such matters it is easier to read about fictional characters that display those feelings and frustrations. Stephanie acknowledges the intensity of emotions that teens face and that is one of the reasons that I feel her books are so interesting to read.
