In reply to the discussion: Stephen King slams Twilight franchise as 'tweenage porn' [View all]quinnox
(20,600 posts)I can't believe anyone over 20 years old or not a teenage girl would read the twilight books, based on what I have seen from clips from the movies. Really teeny-bopper girl stuff. On the other hand, The Hunger Games, well, I agree with him that it was rehashed stuff, but I thought the movie was actually pretty decent. I would consider reading that book, just to see if it was any good.
And I want to make clear I am not some huge fan boy of King. I read maybe two of his books, in total. One book I thought really sucked (Cell) One book was pretty scary (Pet Sematary) and one part of a book was terrifying (Cujo) {I happened to pick it up one day and read the middle part that was the scene with the dog outside a car with a woman trapped inside, it was really scary, but I never read the whole book}
And some short stories too, which he seems to be at his best doing.
