However, if you just need some junk reading, then I'd say that the Twilight series is great for that. I also agree that there are many levels between top-notch and poor when it comes to being a writer. Meyers may not be top-notch....but she's definitely not a "poor" writer.

There are some books that can make good movies and there are others that should be left in their current medium. Stephanie Meyers, regardless of what you think of her writing, uses many of he advatages that the written medium has over the Big Screen. 1. Time: IMHO Meyers has an excellent sense of pace in her books, but it is definately a book pace. 2. Emotion: Its just easier in books, there are many examples of powerful emotion evoked on screen but this requiers acting and directing of the highest caliber. In a book the emotion can be discribed and the infinate imagination does the hard part. 3. Introspective view: All of Stephanie Meyers stories are told from within the main characters mind where the reader is privy to all thoughts any emotions as they occur. This is very difficult to reproduce in the screen medium and so the directors have gone with the more classic approach and used narration, a tricky thing IMO, at key points. The Host is a great story and very true to the Sci/Fi genre, but the movie will rise or fall based on how the director and the actress handle the internal struggle between the human and the alien.

Don't require much thought, much like a popcorn flick. Ya, it does SlashBeast…. but for simplicity, they make great filler books while between books.
