No, I didn't say he didn't have the right, he has every right to voice his opinions. I accused him of being petty by voicing that opinion, knowing how much influence he has on audiences and knowing full well that he would stir a controversy. If he doesn't like her writing that's fine, I don't like it either, but is there any point in his, let's admit it, weak criticism?
Here's the quote for those who missed it:
"[J.K.] Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good. [King says] Meyer's secret is "writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because they’re not overtly sexual."
See? It's weak sauce
