I tried to talk myself out of writing this review. I really like the saying from "Bambi", "if you don't have nuttin nice to say, don't say nuttin at all." This book is a parody of "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. I will admit to liking "Twilight". I have read all of the books and even watched all of the movies that are out.
"Nighlight" is stupid. I didn't find it very funny, just stupid.
Belle is a controlling, vain, out of control young woman. She believes that every man that she meets is in love with her. She meets Edwart at school and decides that he is a vampire, so she tries to mold him into the character of a vampire. After all, he did save her from a snowball.
Edwart suffers from anxiety attacks and to put it bluntly, he is a major wimp. He thinks that Belle is role playing all of the vampire stuff and plays along.
There is a vampire in this story, I won't tell you who he is in case you decide to read the book. He is over the top as a vampire. The vampire prom is "stupid". I think stupid is my favorite word of the day.
I gave this two stars. If you want to read this book, I hope you like it better than I did.
oh no, I have this one on my shelf but haven't read it yet. i was hoping it would be more of an intelligent parody. oh well, thanks for the honest review!
ReplyDeleteWow! You convinced me. I'll steer clear of this one :-)

To be fair, my 13 year old daughter liked this one better than I did. I think the biggest problem with this book is that they tried to hard. They swung the pendulum totally in the other direction though. The book was forced. I have read reviews of others who have given this book four stars. You can take my opinion, or try it for yourself.
