My son chose to read this book and wanted to add a review:

At last, a vampire story that made me laugh! This is a real page turner and gets quite spooky at the end. Great!!!

Format:Paperback
On his thirteenth birthday, Marcus is told that his parents are half vampires and that, joy of joys, he'll become one too. He really doesn't want to be one, and spends part of his time denying that he is one. And then strange things happen, yes, even stranger than discovering you.re about to be a half vampire, and Marcus ends up in even more danger than he first thought.
The writing in this is ok. I liked the way that Marcus responded with witty remarks to everything. His personality change from disbelieving and denying to accepting is interesting to watch, if not the most original. The way he handles everything with sarcasm and cutting remarks add to his personality. However, I can't really connect with Marcus, possibly because I'm not a thirteen year old boy turning into a half vampire.
The supporting characters are interesting with individual, if extremely odd, personalities. Joel is really your average friend to have a laugh with, and the parents are your standard I'll try and do what's best for you ones. Even if they are guiding their son through transformation into a half vampire. Tallulah, the weird girl, while I started off hating her, as the story progressed she seemed less insane and more likeable and I feel really bad for how she ended.
Like I said, I couldn't reall feel that much connection to Marcus, or indeed any of the characters. This book was a bit predictable and I guessed what would happen at the end about 2/3 of the way through. However, it's an original take on traditional vampire myth, and done well.

Overall: Strength 3 tea to a book more for the boys looking for something they can relate to, rather than the standard brooding romantic vampire boys of today.

Format:Paperback
An easy quick read in diary style, about a 13yr old boy who wakes up one day to find he's actually a half vampire and is about to under go "the change". Strange things start to happen as he develops a white fang and cravings and all against his will as he fights the changes. Sometimes I found the story a little drawn out but I'm sure it will appeal to the age group it's intended for.
