Book Reviews of Vampire Kisses
Book Review: A Worthwhile Read
Summary: 4 Stars
I noticed this book on a shelf in my local Borders while I was browsing around one night, and, seeing as I'm a teenager constantly on the lookout for a great vampire novel after reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, which my the way, I would recommend to absolutely anyone, I was interested and picked it up and started reading.
One thing I enjoyed about this book is that right off the bat, it had me hooked. It's a quick, gripping read for readers that are in the prescribed age range (12 to 16) and are interested in vampires and some of the less common aspects of life. The writing had good voice, which kept me reading, and I ended up finishing before the night was out.
Some things in the novel weren't quite realistic, however. The main example was that Raven's (Raven is the main character) "gothness" that began in early childhood was kind of an overkill. I mean, what parent lets their 5-year-old watch "Dracula" and "The Exorcist"? And in essence, Raven was clearly based on a stereotypical goth, and that's only looking at the physical aspect of it. Being goth is about what's on the inside, not how good your combat boots look or whether or not you wear pink every once in a while.
Despite the fact that some reviewers think of it as "badly written," but I beg to differ; this book was creative and had lots of voice (as I said earlier) in it. That helped me to get to know Raven as a person and share her love for Alexander, and I praise Ellen Schreiber for keeping the attention of me and so many others.
Anyway, this book is a good read overall, and I, like Raven, was intrigued by the mysterious Alexander Sterling and disgusted with the annoying Trevor. I would recommend it in anyone from grades 6 to 10. It's an especially good read for someone who needs something interesting to do and wants to kill a few hours reading. I wasn't disappointed, and judging by the other reviews, most readers of this book share that opinion of mine.
