Stephanie Meyers, well, don't really understand the appeal (and I tend to love vampire fiction). I think I just read the first two pages of Twilight and promptly abandoned it.
Yeah, I would think struggling under the weight of your own fame would suck.

I don't like Twilight -- although I show my "dislike" by meticulously deconstructing it on my website, so take that for what you will -- but I DID like The Host.

Same themes of Twilight, but with an "alien invasion / Prisoner of War" setting and it worked MUCH better, imho.
