Book Reviews of Thirsty
Book Review: "The Curse" has never been so funny!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has action, has emotion, has an integrated plot, and builds a very interesting world. But the best part of all is its witty humor.
The characters in this book talk like real people. All the "um"s "yeah"s and awkward pauses are there in the dialog, giving it a strange freshness, and maybe even causing us to laugh at ourselves in acknowledgement of how silly we can sound when we take ourselves too seriously.
The stereotype of uber-dangerous vamps, romantically stalking through the night, is turned on its head in this tale! In Anderson's world these vampires gather together at suspicious smelling potlucks like cult devotees; and the so-sexy, blond blood-drinker who tries to convert the main character is a brainless valley-girl who writes cutesy notes in multicolored pen! However much we might want to love these demons of the night, Anderson reminds us that, sometimes, the forces of evil are just plain stupid. And hilarious.
Many authors might have taken a "coming of age vampire story" and turned it into just another ho-hum teen drama, but Anderson keeps everything light with satire and plenty of sarcastic wit from the main character!
