Nightlight; a parody

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
I'm really not sure what I can say about this book. It certainly had its moments, but lots of it was just slashing twilight in an uneducated, and unforgivable manner. Now let me just say, I am no twilight fan, and have shunned the book (movie, and all other Twilight paraphernalia), and I realize that parodies seldomly immitate a book in a humorus and non-offensive way, but some of this was just hideous.
In the book Belle Goose (haha) falls in love with Edwart Mullen, computer geek. Belle's thought process mimic that of Bella Swan's in an exagerated way. Her entire "love for edwart" is based off the fact that she believes he's a vampire, and *SPOILER ALERT* he isn't. Yes that is correct. In the book Edwart is not a vampire, instead Josh is a vampire who is MUCH more Edward Cullen-like. Edwart is gangly, and awkward, and submissive, while Josh is pushy, aggressive, and staggeringly beautiful. So of course who does she fall in love with the end? Well I can't tell you the whole book. You have to read it for yourself.
Most of the book refrences one of the books from Twilight, and this is not a good book to read if you haven't already read the Twilight series. My personal favorite quote was from Jim, Belle's dad when he says "Besides isn't it a little soon to cut yourself off from your peers, depending on your boyfriend to fill your social needs as opposed to making friends? Imagine what would happen if something forced that boy to leave. I'm imagining pages and pages would happen with nothing but the names of months on them."
I give this book three stars because I'm really not sure what to make of it. It's definitely appropriate for ages 13 and up.
