Went to Barnes & Noble yesterday...

Which I think is one reason there are lots of Twilight clones. You can probably find them on Amazon just by typing in "vampire." They try to emulate what Twilight did, but for whatever reason, the way they're doing it just doesn't click the same. I think Meyer connected with an audience and captured what they wanted to read. It doesn't matter if it's good writing or not. In fact, that doesn't really matter most of the time. If you're good at telling a story, then people won't notice if the writing's bad. And like her or not, Meyer can tell a story that is compelling. Millions of people can't all be wrong.

I don't claim that they're wrong; there is no right and wrong when it comes to subjective matters of taste. An individual may enjoy a book that everyone else on Earth finds abhorrent, and that's their right. The only thing you can objectively say about Twilight is that it's really popular.
