Why does everyone think Anne Rice is a bad writer? I've heard people saying she was a good writer on a previous F!S posts, so why the naysayers now? I ask because it's driving me nuts.

Re: 126

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I think the "bad writer" is mostly towards her more recent books, rather than her work as a whole. My comment was mostly towards the other 2.

Re: 126

[haruhiism.livejournal.com]

Didn't she get rid of her editor at one point? That might have something to do with it.

Re: 126

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

That would explain why Blood Canticle SUCKED SO MUCH RAWR.

Re: 126

[smillaraaq.livejournal.com]

Yep, Anne has apparently gotten too big for her britches to be edited: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA458094.html (http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA458094.html)

While I enjoyed some of her earlier books (I enjoy a spot of purple prose when in the right mood), I gave up on her stuff in the late 80s because it was already starting to feel far too much like the books desperately needed a serious once over with a red pencil, possibly attached to a chainsaw; I shudder to think how much worse they might have become in the last twenty years.

Re: 126

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay then... Cause Blood Canticle? No, just no.

Re: 126

[haruhiism.livejournal.com]

Well, she's certainly not a great one.

I personally don't have any interest in her books. That could be because I think she's batshit insane. I also hold little respect for her after the reply she left to negative feedback of one of her books on amazon.

...Actually, I'm beginning to hate SMeyer for the same reasons. Fancy that.

Re: 126

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

She's just mad because people didn't like what she did to her characters (ie. rape them).

I hate SMeyer for getting her crappy Mary Sue fantasy published... cause I know of many people who wrote better than that when they were teenagers.

Re: 126

[haruhiism.livejournal.com]

HMMM, I wonder why they didn't like it. :|

Rofl yes, and Breaking Dawn just... wow. WOW.

It's like a bunch of fanfic cliches thrown into one book and some pedophilia to top it all off (though, people would argue that that particular theme has been there since the beginning).

It is very sad. There are so many who are more deserving to be published. Honestly, I have to wodner how this stuff gets published. I knwo the Paolini story, so what's hers? (Admittedly, Twilight wasn't HORRID, but as the series went on just... yeah.)
