"Twilight" appeals to young girls (and many older women) because the heroine in the book is an average, not all that attractive or confident girl, that wins the drop-dead gorgeous guy. He is not only gorgeous but also the ultimate "bad boy", who is a caring, sensitive, gentleman. This fantasy man has been has been sought after by women of all ages for centuries. He's kind of like Big foot..no proof that he exists has ever been found, but stories of his sightings are consumed by hungry readers.
