Second, are kids actually reading this? Our eyes start to burn halfway through most magazine articles posted online we can’t imagine anyone staring at his computer screen for long enough to read a whole book. Obviously we can understand why Meyer might not be thrilled with the idea of her still-incomplete manuscript being passed around - like she says, it’s “messy and flawed and full of errors” - but is this really the worst thing that’s ever happened? First, only 294 pages of Midnight have leaked, and since her other books average over 600, fans will still have to buy the other half to find out how the thing ends. Then, so her readers “don’t have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest” (?), she posted a PDF of the twelve leaked chapters for free download. In a statement on her Website, Meyer declared herself “too sad” to continue work on the book and said she was putting its completion “on hold indefinitely,” breaking the hearts of millions of fans and even more Barnes & Noble stockholders. As you might’ve heard by now, an unfinished draft of Midnight Sun, the fifth teenage-vampire novel from Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, leaked to the Internet last week.
