This was a quick and easy read but I did not find myself enjoying it very much. While I did appreciate the satire of the British Middle Class the majority of the novel just seemed a bit too much like a teen soap opera to me.
I also found the author's use of cultural references with their names changed slightly to become “Vampire” a bit infantile and unnecessary.
I can understand why many people enjoyed it. This is not your standard vampire fare, and from that point of view it was an interesting read. But as a whole it left me feeling underwhelmed.
L'idée est cool, mais trop de longueurs à mon goût (notamment l'amourette entre les 2 ados).
