I am much in league with Boney King. While viewing books from different perspectives can aide in your understanding of the work and of literature of that kind in general; it should not be necessary for enjoyment of a well written book. An example is many of Miyazaki's films. They generally are enjoyable by just about anyone. As with all things you will have people who don't like it. However, the magic of good story telling is its ability to appeal to many different audiences all at once.
Then you also have the technical aspect, which I hear is a bit simple in Twilight. Personally simple writing usually doesn't bother me. Anyways from what I have seen and heard of it, it seems that Stephen King has done well in summarizing it.

In addition I have a VERY wide reading range(I was praised with being able to enjoy practically any well written book). I like romance novels(I just don't like all the garbage that takes up valuable shelf space that could go to better books), I like Westerns, I like Sci-Fi, I like Fantasy, I like historical Fiction, I have enjoyed Christian Fiction, etc, etc, etc, etc. Likely though, I won't get around to it since I have a very large number of books/manga/anime that look much more entertaining on my to read/watch list.
