I laughed a lot during the first part of the book, but the laughs petered out as the story went on. I was in hysterics every few sentences in the first chapter, but as time went on, they seemed to run out of humor. It was also quite apparent that the authors have never read
Twilight, the Wikipedia article on
Twilight, or anybody's school report on
Twilight. The only scenes that were decent parodies were the ones based on the parts of
Twilight that are now in popular knowledge. Strangely enough, some slight details were accurately made fun of in the beginning that could only have come from somebody who has read
Twilight, but it moves on to a vampire prom masquerade where Belle is wearing a full-body cast.
The character of Belle was one of its strong points. She's a self-centered Mary-Sue who remains oblivious to everything around her. I wouldn't say that Bella from
Twilight was exactly this, but the humor around Belle's character had some truth in it.
I moderately enjoyed
Twilight, and I was hoping for a parody that would leave me laughing throughout. It wasn't a bad parody; it just needed a bit more humor in the later chapters. If you find yourself in a bookstore without enough time to read a full book, this might be a good choice.
