I'd say the Twilight series is more appealing commercially than as an actual piece of literature.
Just hearing that makes me cringe. As a self proclaimed scholar, I feel insulted when someone calls Twilight a piece of literature.

London is over-run by Twilight fans. The thing that has surprised me, is while I was at some traffic lights yesterday, I heard a conversation between two middle aged women. It went along the lines of:

"Did you read Twilight yet?"
"Yeh I did. It was absolutely amazing."
"Yeh, dreamy huh."
"Yeh, Edward is just amazing. My husband isn't too happy that I keep talking about him."

I shouted out the window at them saying "Hey, Ladies! Take my advice. Grow up and read some proper books. I feel sorry for your husband."
