Her imagination is incredible, she really go's in a different direction than most supernatural writers and owns it.
When I was younger I was actually a massive fan of the "Twilight" series. Yes I found many mistakes but all in it is actually a pretty decent series to read.
Saying that... if you really want to enjoy a Stephanie Meyers book you should read "The Host."
The book is really different and worth the read.

I agree her works were not perfect but they were interesting and made you keep reading on. I don't think she wasnt trying to write the next great work of literature, and my stance is that she succeeded quite brilliantly at writing a novel which entertains and engages one.

This author single handedly made vampires seem appealing with her amazing plot line, and teens all over the world started swooning over the mention of Edward Cullen. And i must admit, i was one of them, until the second book came along...then it was all about Jacob Black for me
I remember the most prominent quote from the Twilight book is what Bella Swan says: "About three things i was absolutely postive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him - and i didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. And third, i was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him" It still gives me the shivers, and no wonder so many teens fell in love with the idea that a vampire and human could fall in love. Vampires are like the epitomy of bad boys and we know how most girls love bad boys.
But what made me see Stephanie Meyer as more than just a hyped up author is when she realeased the book 'The Host'. Now that is a book i truly enjoyed, not because it brought me in through being hyped up about, but because i was genuinely intrigued whether Stephanie Meyer had potential to break away from the Twilight bubble.
And i must say she did a brilliant job. Again, in 'The Host', i found myself falling in love with the characters, you could imagine yourself in their shoes. She also built up the dystopian world really well, and the ending was all we readers could hope for, and it gave encouragement for a second installment to the series, but unfortunately that never came through.
In conclusion, Stephanie Meyer isn't the best author but she is an inspirational one, with such a creative mind, and she manages to execute that creativeness really well in her books. And don't forget, her Twilight series did inspire E. L. James' fanfic that led to the highly popular Fifty Shades of Grey. Need i say more?!?
