I haven't actually read any of the Twilight books myself, but I think the 'craze' for such books is the result of the copycat syndrome. That is a book like Harry Potter or Twilight makes it big in publishing and everyone tries to come up with a similar but different concept to hopefully collect some crumbs from the "big books" wake. You see similar things when a movie comes out too. First the movie is released then the merchandise associated with the movie or its central character is released. Toys, coloring books, lunch boxes etc.

Anyone else tired of this craze?
