Title: Twilight (The Twilight Saga)
What can be said about this series that true Twi-hards don’t already know? Though it only took three months to write, Twilight, stole the hearts of pre-teens worldwide and created an international phenomenon that has grossed over $3.3 billion in worldwide receipts at the Box Office. The series was written by Stephenie Meyer whose Mormon faith influenced her characters and style of writing. Publishing of the books began in 2005, and ended in 2008 as production of the first movie began. The books are published through Little, Brown and Company and has been translated into over 38 languages. Though praised for it’s popularity, The Saga is often harshly criticised for ‘poor writing’, stripped down characters and the belief that Bella is a ‘damsel in distress’.
Author: Stephenie Meyer
An author who has probably had her name mispelled even more than mine, Stephenie Meyer attributes her name as a gift from her father, Stephen. She was awarded a National Merit Scholarship, and used it to pay her way to Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah. An English major, her concentration was in literature instead of creative writing. She says can’t write without music, and her biggest muse is, the band, Muse.
