I don't know why King would publicly slam Meyer publicly like he did. He HAD to have read her books in order to judge her in the first place. I have enjoyed some of King's works...some of them are really good...while others aren't. There are flaws in the Twilight series...and things that just don't match up. But overall, I still think it was a pretty good series of books. I enjoyed reading them. King has the right to believe what he wants. But it's obvious that King and Meyer are completely two different types of writers. I'm sure that King carefully plans his novels and makes story-notes and all different types of plans to complete his novels and flesh out as much as he can. However, Meyer has claimed that Twilight came to her in a dream. She said that she just sat down at the computer and just started typing...and created her story as it went. Meyer also contradicts this when she says that she says that she checked maps and other things to help her with her story. Meyer would have HAD to have checked things in order to have come up with Forks, where her story takes place. It's the most overcast place in the United States. She also has said that she checked maps of Italy to come up with the place that the Volturi come from. So, Meyer does contradict herself at times.
