I was so excited to read this, but I was really disappointed. I could write a full length review on this, but there isn't much to say. I know that M.T Anderson isn't a bad writer, but this is definitely not one of his finer pieces. Chris, the main character, seems like a normal teenager. But I just couldn't like him- at all. As for the plot, it just comes really confusing and rushed. And then it simply ends. There could've been so much more included, but there wasn't. I found myself checkingChris is a normal teenager until he suddenly starts transforming into a vampire. Then everything he used to care about starts to pale in comparison. An Agent of the Light offers to cure Chris' vampirism if he performs a service in exchange. Chris doesnt fully comprehend what hes doing, and later, when he is approached by other beings who also claim to be Agents of the Light, he begins to suspect that he's been conned.Meanwhile, Chris is growing more and more thirsty hes hungry for human blood
This book was a good book but i didnt like it. I kept waiting for it to get good, but it never happened. I hate that this book left so many spots open. He is left without any choice without any course of action to make things at all better. In this book when Chris hits puperty he doesn't just get zits he starts turning into a vampire. He lives in a society where vampires are common and people hunt them down. I really like vampire books but this one was just a little to slow and kept leaving
I thought this book was really going to annoy me at the beginning, but I ended up really enjoying it! It was refreshing to see a different take on a teen vampire story.
Does no one think this is a metaphor for something? Like maybe sexuality or gender identity?This is a social issues book, it is an allegory for homosexuality and how it is seen around the world. Maybe I am just reading too much into it, but per example: it is said he was bitten as a child and as he hits his teens the traits surface, which is similar to people are born with a sexuality and tend to express it in their teens. Apart from that, the question of what makes a human is made, and this is
Let me get one thing off my plate. The ending! It just ends. It ends one a run on sentence. There is NO satisfaction in reading he ending. The book is okay, but I dont want to read it again. Parts of the book lost me and I skipped/skimmed them. The book is a rollercoaster of emotions. It was weird and sometimes too weird. I dont want to read this every again endless I write my own ending.
