I think the first few pages where the author discusses what happened when a kindergartener walked into class during nap time was one of the most terrifying scenes I have read in awhile. That creepiness kept me glued to the pages until the middle where things sorta fell apart. The writing became really repetitious and after about 150 pages Danmarkhttp://raisingselfesteem.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932333374195558840.post-73953554343703347482012-05-08T19:11:52.519-07:002012-05-08T19:11:52.519-07:00great review

It's still hard to believe the vamps couldn't ever smell Gene, since they have a superhuman sense of smell. But, it's a very exciting story and the stakes are pretty well stacked against him.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932333374195558840.post-63908801598706589342012-05-08T17:16:59.557-07:002012-05-08T17:16:59.557-07:00Is it bad that all I can focus on is the fact that...Is it bad that all I can focus on is the fact that the vamps can't smell him despite their super human abilities? It's so difficult to get the balance of world building and story telling right isn't it? Still, I like that this one is told through the POV of a guy and he seems to have so much stacked against him that it's hard to believe he'll make it.

Not completely, but I liked it, anyway. I can totally understand anyone not buying into it because I nearly didn't, myself.

But like you said, maybe they are that dumb. :) Great review!<br /><br />BTW, I watched the first 4 episodes of The Last Airbender. You are right, that is some great storytelling! I am hooked!
