I read this on the strength of The Outsiders and was not disappointed. This is nothing like her others and is in fact, not the type of book I'd normally go for but in the end I loved it. I read it much quicker than i normally would have because I just had to know what happened next. Definitely recommended!

A story about a vampire that is actually pretty beleivable.

Few books I read compel me to write a review on here. This book is not one of them. This is truly another good story by SE Hinton. Having read several others in grade school and now picking up this book 20 or so years later, I still enjoy this writer as much as I did when I was very young. The story was a bit odd in the beginning; the meeting and subsequent (forced?) friendship of a psychiatric patient and a vampire who eventually seems more human. The ending is heartbreaking and completely unexpected!

I didn't like it really at all. It's strange and quite boring.

I was so surprised to have happened upon a book by SE Hinton that I had never read or even heard of before, I couldn't help but scoop it right up. I must tell you from the beginning--this book is about vampires, or at least one vampire in particular. The description did not, in any way mention this fact. Fortunately it is not about how vampires live or prey, but instead a very different aspect of their lives. It was a quick read that kept me coming back for more. In the end I was not sorry I had read it, but I have to admit, I was hoping for so much more. This book is NOTHING at all like the SE Hinton of the past.

I'm waiting for the next book... =)
