The beginning of the creative path

The history of its popularity is unique in its own way and in many respects similar to the arrival to success of JK Rowling. Before writing her first book, Stephanie was never published, at least under her own name. In her student years, she was fond of literature and read a lot. She began writing the first lines in almost 30 years. At this point, she was an ordinary housewife and brought up three sons. According to Stephanie's own story, she had a dream, in which a vampire fell in love with a young girl. The monster longed for her blood, but he held himself in love because of love. After that, Mayer Stephanie began to write a novel, which ended in 90 days. Half a thousand pages she sent to various agencies, and, finally, her book was approved for publication.

Stephanie Meyer: "Twilight"

The novel "Twilight" is focused primarily on adolescents, but it has considerable popularity among the older generation. It describes the relationship between the vampire Edward and the mere mortal girl Bella. The narrative is conducted on behalf of the latter. The first book can be called a detective, because in it the main character tries to unravel the mystery of a strange creature that, in the guise of an ordinary person, is studying with her in school for a considerable part of the time. It is noteworthy that Bella is from Phoenix, as is Stephanie Meyer.

Twilight is a love story. But there are elements of the thriller, and according to some critics, even horror. All 5 books Bella and Edward are struggling with various troubles that threaten their love, and sometimes life. At the same time, there are no problems in the relations themselves. Most of the main characters have extremely positive qualities and are altruistic. This fact causes a wave of critics Mayer Stefanie: they call her works too primitive, accusing the writer of low talent.

In addition to vampires in the book there are also werewolves, with one of which Bella had a love triangle. In general, in all 5 books a great place is given to love. Virtually all heroes, even secondary, have universal love. It is the motivating factor for many actions.

Screening

The real world popularity Stephanie received after the release of the same adaptation of her novel, in which the role of Edward played Robert Pattinson, and the role of Bella - Christine Stewart. This was a new impetus to the growing interest in Stephanie Meyer. Books were issued in additional editions (85 million copies all over the world).
After "Twilight" Stephanie wrote more "adult" novel "Guest", but he could not just conquer the public. Many writers are sure that the interest in the book was caused only by the famous name of its author.

Mayer Stephanie is regularly compared to the author of books about Harry Potter - Joan Rowling. The "battles" of fans on the Internet and at various thematic congresses have become the norm. Famous writer Stiveg King said that Stephanie's comparison with the British protege is quite true, but the first lacks a writer's talent.
