'Breaking Dawn' Exclusive: 'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer Reacts To Harsh Reader Complaints -- 'It Hurts'





Last Saturday afternoon, less than a day after "Breaking Dawn," the termination of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, hit shelves, the Internet grumblings began. Of course, many readers were still thirstily drinking up the saga of Edward and Bella. But unitary fast reader expressed her disappointment in the book by debut a word on Amazon.com urging fellow disgruntled fans, "Don't cauterise your copies of the book � RETURN THEM."


(SPOILER ALERT, though we'll try to keep them faint for all you slowpokes.) And judging by the heated backward and forward that followed, there are plenty of other Twilighters complaining around what is or isn't in the book: the lack of more denotative sex scenes, the excessive amount of sex scenes, the implausibility of Bella's pregnancy, the pace of the story, the want of a big battle scene, the whole Jacob section, and on and on. One blogger told Entertainment Weekly that the story "didn't seem to fit the world that I thought Stephenie Meyer created." So how does the writer feel around this vicious reaction to the novel that sold 1.3 million copies in its first day?
