I guess I’m after several different jokes in a book rather than just one continuous one. The issue was still there though and I’m left wondering if this is more about what I’m looking for, humour wise, than the book itself. I say ‘almost’ as ‘Nightlight’ came across as being a lot more inventive in the way that it poked fun at its subject matter. ‘Nightlight’ did leave me wondering if I had been unnecessarily harsh on ‘Zombies for Zombies’ though as I found that, once again, a joke was stretched to breaking point and almost robbed the book of it’s impact. The Harvard Lampoon version sticks to the story but adds a few twists of its own the result did nothing less than have me laughing out loud and anyone who’s after a send up of Meyer’s work should give this a look though. A lonely misfit girl moves to Oregon to live with her Dad, while she’s there she attracts the attention of the hot loner boy in the class and discovers that he’s a vampire. Come to think of it if you’ve hung out anywhere on the internet (over the last couple of years) then you’ll know the story.

If you’ve read ‘Twilight’ already then you’ll know the story. Tolkien’s had and so has Rowling it’s now Meyer’s turn as the Harvard Lampoon present us with their take on ‘Twilight’. I know that the phrase ‘wish fulfilment’ cropped up at least once, mostly on Meyer’s part I think.Īlthough it might not necessarily be what you want to happen, an author can gauge the success of their book by the people queuing up to poke fun at it. Don’t hold it against me, everyone has to start somewhere :o) It wasn’t much of a review but, to be fair to me, ‘Twilight’ wasn’t much of a book (although it did keep me reading it). This isn’t something that you’ll catch me admitting around here too often so pay attention! One of the first books I reviewed on here (maybe even the first) was Stephanie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’.
