Kick ass to the extreme! The Twilight "saga" sucks...and here's proof!
By far, this parody was the single most comical, entertaining novella I've read in ages. In addition to the fact that it was written by the Harvard Lampoon, and is thus a tiny bit of demonstrative proof that smart people realize Meyer's Twilight book series is wretched literature, the comedy was very well done. Every negative aspect to the original series was addressed; the plot holes the size of China, the vomit inducing emotional hyperbole, the transparently awful character creations, the lack of a cohesive, believable storyline, the plethora of grammatical errors, the overt evisceration of vampire lore, the death of originality...I could continue, but for the sake of wrapping up this run-on sentence, I'll refrain.
Overall, Nightlight delivered a resounding triumph in giving me, the reader and avid Twilight hater, exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better piece of humorous fiction even if I had it special ordered!

I loved how Belles father didn't like anyone unless they were werewolves :)
