All over the world, film industries churn out revenge sagas because of the mass appeal of this genre, since the general psychology of human beings is to mete out justice to the wronged and punishment to the wrongdoer. The process is however lost somewhere between the chaotic rules and regulations and loopholes of power that exit in every society.

Meyer’s books are not only written poorly, but portray a static, tiresome protagonist and a mind-numbing and repetitious plot in her four most popular works that make up the Twilight Saga.

Genre and personal taste aside, the syntax and technique of Meyer is poor compared to Pierce’s seasoned writing…
