My Take
I can't separate Stephenie Meyer from the cultural wave she set off. Twilight selling over 160 million copies in 37 languages isn't just success, it's a phenomenon that turned a Brigham Young University graduate into the bestselling author in America two years running. What strikes me is how she reshaped young-adult publishing almost overnight, then branched into film producing and science fiction with The Host. People love to debate the writing, but I respect anyone who taps a nerve that deeply. Love it or roll your eyes at it, her fingerprint on a whole generation of readers is undeniable to me.
