    About this ebook

    “Estaba completamente segura de unas tres cosas. Primero, Edwart era, tal vez, mi alma gemela, quizá. Segundo, él tenía una parte de vampiro —que yo asumía estaba totalmente fuera de su control— que me quería muerta.Y tercero, yo deseaba incondicional, irrevocable, impenetrable, heterogénea, ginecológica y vergonzosamente que me besara”. Y así, Belle Goose se enamoró del misterioso y chispeante Edwart Mullen en esta desternillante parodia de la irreverente Harvard Lampoon.
     
    Pálida y patosa, Belle llega a Switchblade, Oregon, buscando una aventura o por lo menos, un compañero de clase inmortal. Pronto descubrirá a Edwart, un nerd guapo, loco de las  computadoras, con cero interés por las chicas. Después de ser testigo de extraños sucesos –¡Edwart no se ha comido sus patatas rellenas!¡Edwart la ha salvado de una bola de nieve!–, Belle tiene una dramática revelación: Edwart es un vampiro. Pero, ¿cómo convencerle para que la muerda y la convierta en su novia eterna si parece sentir repulsión por las chicas?
     
    Políticamente incorrecta, llena de amor, peligro, acoso e insuficiente supervisión paternal, Corpúsculo es la hilarante historia de una chica obsesionada por los vampiros que busca el amor en el sitio equivocado.

      This is the worst novel I have read. I don't know why I wasted the time reading it.
    • 2/5
      This was one of the funniest books I have ever read. I personally quite enjoyed the first three books in the Twilight series, but that didn't stop me from getting extreme joy from this book. This wasn't the best literature (not that the Twilight books were) but it was absolutely hilarious. However, after the first 50 pages or so it seemed like they ran out of puns and snide comments relating to the series and it was just a hodpodge of oddity.
    • 5/5
      For Twilight fans, this parody is hilarious. I can't say too much without spoiling it. I found it laugh out loud funny.
    • 3/5
      Nightlight follows the story of Belle Goose who begins to live at her father's place after staying with her mother until her middle grade years. Like Twilight, she is the new girl. She then meets Edwart the vampire at the school cafeteria. The story goes on.....

      This parody is not as bad as The Hunger Pains. I read the original versions of both book series. (My next read will be Bored of the Rings; I couldn't continue reading after Chapter 2 of The Lord of the Rings, so I'm hoping that not having prior knowledge to the original content will help me endure reading the parody's writing style..)
    • 3/5
      This book is ridiculous.

      It's funny and stupid and it makes you laugh, but it's not written well.

      It's written better then Twilight it's self, but not by much.
    • 1/5
      I'll be honest, this is a book you only need to read once. It's a bit of a laugh getting to read an alternate story but you can't compare it to the Twilight Saga. The fantasies this girl Belle has in her head are comical.
    • 3/5
      Rather eh. It was too over-the-top to be brilliant, but it had some really awesome lines: "None of us were very good at saying good-bye. For some reason, it always came out good-BUH."
    • 3/5
      Read about 2/3 of this book. I never read parodies, but chuckled at the cover in B&N, so when someone offered it to me for free, I went for it. I did totally laugh out loud, but halfway through wondered if this was something on which I should be spending my precious reading time. I didn't feel compelled to finish it; it lived on my nightstand for several months even though I enjoyed the first half. I read a few reviews on goodreads to see if anyone thought the end was excellent or anything, and I see from everyone's opinion, this is really poor satire. (I guess I'm just too inexperienced to have sophisticated satire taste). Oh well, I liked it, but not enough to finish it when there are countless more important/engrossing books to read.
    • 5/5
      It's been a long time since I laughed so hard at a book...the can't-breathe-type-laughter that made my husband give me a look like "you are crazy, go to bed."

      Nightlight is a very good SNL-type (maybe even as good as Monty Python) parody of Twilight. I feel that it's geared towards Twilight fans with a sense of humor about their fandom (much like the Star Wars Robot Chicken special...you have to be a fan or have a certain amount of knowledge about Star Wars to get the jokes). It's great vampire obsessed fun!
    • 1/5
      This book was not a clever parody. It directly makes fun of Twilight, even going as far as to mention Rob Pattinson. I felt like this book fell flat a lot of the time. This is definitely more for people who hate Twilight, then those that are nuetrel or like it. Definitely more stupid then funny.
    • 3/5
      A parody of the Twilight books. At the beginning of the book it tries way too hard to be funny. As the story progresses it gets better and the author seems to relax some and it doesn't seem as forced. The book is rather funny, but only if you are familiar with the Twilight books or movies.
    • 3/5
      A rather light and humorous read, Nightlight is a parody of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight and I really don't think that needs any explanation beyond that. I mean, it's Twilight, chances are we've all heard about it to some degree. This review is going to be a little short as I feel anything that could be said about anything Twilight has already been said. So pardon the lack of snark or the absence of hanging Twilight out to dry. Nighlight does a pretty good job of that anyways.

      We follow our heroine, Belle Goose through her migration to Switchblade, Washington where she seems to fit in just right. Everyone loves her, but she only has eyes for the most beautiful boy on Campus, Edwart Mullen. Hot vampire on human action pursues as Belle courts Edwart with relentless devotion only rivaled in the very saga it rips apart.

      This marks my second time reading Nightlight as I wanted something easy and fun to get me back into reading religiously again, so naturally, I knew what to expect and where to expect it so the humor fell short for me this time around. I didn't laugh nearly as hard, but hell, it didn't mean it wasn't funny. It follows the same vein as Vampires Suck, names are changed only slightly and characterizations are played up BIG time so if your familiar with Twilight, your good as gold.

      I have to say though, that Belle and Edwart's relationship was rather adorable, not nearly as bad as their counterpart, but your mileage may vary there. There's no side characters to get attached too and the Werewolves have been almost phased out of this tale. Oh, and androids.

      As for recommendations? Perhaps anyone who's a fan of Twilight, both for the lovers and the haters. Waiting for Breaking Dawn Part 2? Why not fill the void with a little light reading curtosy of the Harvard Lampoon. Also if you particularly enjoyed Vampires Suck.
    • 2/5
      A few random laugh out loud funny quotes but that was about it.
    • 5/5
      Brilliant! Truly brilliant! The only way they could have improved on this would have been getting it into my hands before I bothered to read the real series. Sure, a lot of the better jokes would have been lost on me, but it would have at least helped me to avoid the greatest publishing tragedy of the last decade. That's right, Stephanie Meyer, you could have done better. Thank goodness the Harvard Lampoon was around to put you in your place.
    • 2/5
      I couldn't resist picking this up - the cover is absolutely hilarious, and so is the synopsis. I mean, Belle Goose? Awesome. The first few pages were funny, but it got old fast. I only finished it for the sake of finishing it, hoping the ending would be amazing and redeeming, but it wasn't.
    • 5/5
      Absoutely hilarious. Loved it.Second time reading it:Still hilarious. Still love it.
    • 3/5
      I love the Twilight books and figured this would be a nice humorous read. I was a little surprised that I wasn't laughing constantly. Nightlight is a spoof on Twilight and just over exaggerates Bella and her feelings for Edward. There is a play on the names which were just a little annoying.I found myself chuckling every so often but nothing overly funny. I was rolling my eyes because this Belle was more annoying then the one in the original book. I know they were trying to show you how annoying she was in Twilight. This Belle is obsessed with non vampire Edwart.
    • 3/5
      Some of it was REALLY funny, but mostly I found it to be way over-the-top.
    • 3/5
      I first heard of Nightlight when I was checking the New York Times Bestseller list of trade paperbacks one week. What first caught my eye was the cover art, an obvious jab at the cover of the original Twilight novel. I decided to check out the book and found myself rolling from the summary. I'm not a fan of Twilight, so I welcomed the parody's absurd humor. At the time I decided not to purchase the novel since the price was so high for something that's only 150 pages long. A few weeks later I discovered the book at Barnes & Noble with some friends. We picked it up and started reading various passages aloud just to see what it was about. We ended up rolling in laughter so much that a friend purchased the book and gave it to me as a birthday present (provided, of course, that I circulate it among everyone). I took the book home and started it the same day. Even with work, I finished Nightlight in just two days...and I thought it was hilarious.Keep in mind, however, that it is meant to be an absurd (and completely out of proportion) parody of Twilight to poke fun at the characters and plot. While I admit that Nightlight didn't leave me rolling after every sentence, there were so many passages that left me with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. The voice is ridiculous and the parody of Bella (Belle) as a ditsy and seemingly bi-polar nutcase and Edward (Edwart) as a nerd felt fresh and entertaining. Some of Belle's first-person comments were particular gems and made the book worthwhile.Fans of the Twilight series may have trouble accepting the absurd, parody nature of Nightlight, but those who can just enjoy the absurd and comical style of Nightlight will find it entertaining (both fans and non-fans alike). I laughed nearly every other page and wished that the book didn't end. That's the biggest I issue I had with this book -it was only 150 pages while the original Twilight novel was longer. Heck, they could have even done the other Twilight books here and it would have been even better. Maybe there will be a sequel? I can only hope...
    • 1/5
      I found this parody disjointed and superficially written; I would recommend 'New Moan' for anyone interested in a good parody of 'Twilight'.
    • 5/5
      ANYONE WHO HATES TWILIGHT WILL LOVE THIS> PLEASE READ! ITS SO FUNNY I LAUGHED EVERY PAGE!!!!
    • 3/5
      Nightlight…oh Nightlight. How you ruined me. In case you don’t know, Nightlight is a parody of Twilight and this book was absolute random hilarity. The beautiful thing is that since everyone knows at least something about Twilight, I don’t think you have to have even read the books to enjoy it. Although the entertainment was very up and down, sometimes I would go pages without caring much about what I was reading and then I was suddenly cracking up, reading excerpts to anyone who was around me. The real problem was that I became so used to reading for a quick laugh and knowing that everything written was a joke, I had a hard time picking up any other book and taking it seriously. A word of caution: don’t read part of Nightlight and then try to read something else between sittings. I decided to list a few of my favorite quotes. If they make you laugh, this book will be right up your alley.Here are some of my favorite quotes in all their dumb gloriousness:Lucy was standing beneath a ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fans’ poster.‘Join my club!’‘No, thank you,’ I said icily. But I was not thankful and I think I conveyed that in my tone. I had no intention of supporting a show that encouraged the genocide of an already endangered species of immortals.-pg 50We walked together, our pointer fingers romantically linked. The cemetery loomed ahead of us covered in a dark haze of night, lit only by the silver moon of Twilight! I mean, Nightlight!-pg 101We settled down and began to enjoy the romance of each other, almost like a warm glow inside of us. This is the way married grownups feel all the time.-pg 105
    • 4/5
      It’s great for what it is - a short, funny, ridiculous Twilight parody. Those who have either read the book or seen the movie, or both, will definitely get a kick out of it. Mostly stupid but sometimes clever, the story has plenty of laugh out loud moments. If you’re in the mood for something light, hilarious, and weird, you’ll enjoy this book.
    • 3/5
      Going into this knowing that they were picking fun at not only the story as a whole but even Meyer's writing style, it was quite amusing. The dialog tags became a recurring disaster, on purpose. Some parts left me laughing out loud. I had to force myself through the last few chapters but otherwise it was a funny quick read.
    • 1/5
      I understand this book is a paradoy and I was very excited to read it but I was very disapointed. The characters were annoying and instead of a story that was just the opposite of its counterpart, it became a story of girl who wished her life into something it was not. None of the other characters were really developed, which would of enhanced the comedy of the story. This story seemed like it was thrown together in an extrememly short amount of time and not well thought out. It doesn't really evem warrant this much of a review.
    • 4/5
      If you're horrified by the popularity of the poorly written Twilight series, this book is for you! It's written in the "style" if you can call it that, of Twilight's author. Edwart and the self-absorbed Belle will make you laugh out loud. The over the top "charmingly clumsy" Belle is outright dangerous.Skip the Twilight series and read this entertaining parody -- you won't have to bother with Team Jacob or Team "Edwart" and you'll be better off!
    • 5/5
      As a recovering Twilighter- wait, scratch that- as someone who can now see the Twilight series for what it really is- A very badly written hodge-podge of everything an untalented "writer" ever read about vampires in OTHER AUTHORS' books, coupled with any Poor-Me-Teenage-Girl question and answer column out of Seventeen magazine, that took 4 books and half a million pages for something to happen and then it SUCKED- I needed to read this book.I cried, I screamed, I beat my fists against my pillow- and it was all because I was laughing so freaking hard I worried someone was going to commit me.It's absolutely ridiculous, stupid, disgusting and genius. I love how the description of Edwart's hair changed every time he was around. In this book we have Belle, a most loathsome character, just like Bella in Twilight. In Twilight Bella is pretty much unlovable and you really want to smack her but you can't quite put your finger on why- in Nightlight the reasons are painfully obvious.154 pages, you can read it in a minute, just don't read it in public- you might get locked up.
    • 4/5
      An actually fun and funny parody of both the Twilight series and the genre. A quick read since the parody is so much briefer than its source material. But that's to its advantage as the parody does not drag on too long. All-in-all a surprisingly enjoyable book.
    • 5/5
      Wonderful. Hilarious. I laughed for hours. If you are not too hard core of a Twilight fan and can take a joke, its worth readying. You'll be laughing from start to finish. So random and funny.
    • 3/5
      As the title suggests, this is a parody of Twilight. I read the first chapter in the store and was amused enough to buy the book, but the same level of humour unfortunately wasn't maintained throughout.I thought this book was best when it stuck closest to Twilight, mocking or exaggerating specific things like Bella's clumsiness ("I walked towards him shyly, tripping over a toddler and soaring into a keychain display. Embarrassed, I straightened up and fell down the escalator, somersaulting over the roller luggage inconsiderately placed on the left side") or her truck ("{The house} was almost completely blocked from view by my truck, which had a large graphic on the side of a lumberjack sawing a tree, with 'U-HAUL' written above. 'The truck is beautiful.' I breathed. I exhaled. Then I breathed again. 'Beautiful.' ").Soon, though, the story deviates pretty sharply from Twilight. Edward is a scrawny computer nerd who builds a bad robot and runs a Price Elasticity Club, and I just didn't get it. When there were too many changes, I felt like the book lost the amusement value of mocking Twilight, and instead was just a weird story that didn't always make much sense.Still, it was very short, so I can't really complain. I finished it quickly, and laughed a fair bit at the beginning. I don't think I'll read the sequel, though.
