Stephanie Meyer - The Unauthorized Biography by Marc Shapiro
The Twilight phenomenon started in 2006 and the subject of vampire romance became a huge hit with the teenage girls.
The story of Harry Potter was due to end in 2007 and the literary market had space for a new story.
Stephanie Meyer was suddenly a J K Rowling, though some people doubted if the saga would ever get any prizes like the Harry Potter series did.
Though the common elements are still there, such as both the sagas are written by women and both became huge hits among millions of readers.
Saves You From Doing Your Own Research Written by Marc Shapiro, the book Stephanie Meyer: The Unauthorized Biography of the Creator of the Twilight Saga is well written and an interesting read, though if you are familiar with the Internet, there are no facts mentioned in the book you already didn't know about.
Young Adults Fantasy Genre Is Back There are several authors who can now sell books in the young adults fantasy genre (they just had to make sure they included vampires and werewolves in the books), all because of Stephanie Meyer.
Even those who did not have the background to review the books read them and got hooked pretty quickly.
An Easy Read The reviewers felt the books were an easy read and even ESL students were able to finish it in a weekend, whose reading skills were at the level of Grade 3.
Other readers at the same level also finished the book without any trouble at all.
Though some suggest the novel is slow moving, the popularity of the novels might be explained on the basis of the fact if the kids get hooked to the story early, they might wait patiently till the end.
The girls are extremely excited about the book, and their reading habits have also improved considerably as a result.
One could easily notice the girls reading under the trees and sharing their personal copies with their friends.
Not Much Scope For The Biography The author says Stephanie Meyer got the idea of the book from a dream.
A list of music was being played as she wrote the book.
The book also gives a lot of information on the making of the films based on the book, and the revelation that the author has ideas for many more novels will also please the fans.
There was not much scope for the biography though, because Stephanie Meyer is only in her 30s, and she had not had a very eventful life (good for her).
