This post won't be added to anymore, as I'm breaking to fix dinner, and it's pretty long already.
I will say, though, that I can see why she's so popular now. Not because of anything resembling quality, but because of the amazingly simplistic writing style. The sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary are all very, very simple and straightforward, with nothing resembling complexity to any of it. This makes it amazingly easy to read, especially if you just want something to fill your time with and not really think about. I mean, seriously, a ten year old could read this easily. Mind you anyone who gives it to a 10 year old to read should be hurt, but one could read it if someone did. But it's why I got to page 190 in just a few hours, despite constantly adding to the post. I'f I'd read straight through, even without skimming, I could have finished it already.
It also makes things really, really stand out when they don't fit with her style, but honestly, no one who would normally notice that would be reading it in the first place, unless...well...pulling it to rip into the badness.
