Twilight hit at the right time and place and it was easily marketable.
Yeah. And while Meyer could certainly do with improving her writing, it's not like she's going to bother while people eat those things up. I sure wouldn't.
I find the books dreadful but it is remarkable how many women and girls of all ages and education find them irresistible. And I suspect with the economic climate the way it is, the market for this type of escapist fantasy will just grow and grow.
