...a nice take on the modern vampire myth - and in this reviewer's opinion, twilight had it coming. ...

Reginald knew being overweight would be the death of him, but never expected it to be the undeath. Now a rather overweight vampire in a world where most candidates are svelt and slim (and train to get that way) he’s far from the ideal. Vampires don’t tolerate the weak and Reginald and his long-suffering sire find themselves in the firing line and listed for execution. Survival depends on whether Reginald can do something no vampire would even be capable of.

It’s not a bad book, and a much needed and utterly irreverent look at vampires. Generally well-written with distinctive and memorable lead characters. As a story it is enjoyable, original, and the resolution of their predicament is creative and darkly hilarious. Unfortunately as a comedy this is something of a one-note joke: he’s a vampire and he’s fat. The constant fat jokes get a little wearing (and predictable), but the characters are likeable and sympathetic – even if sometimes you want to shake the lead firmly by the throat.

Overall it’s a nice take on the modern vampire myth – and in this reviewer’s opinion, twilight had it coming.

  • Kung Fu Carp Fishing
    An absolutely hilarious guide to fishing, perhaps useful for fishermen, definitely entertaining to everyone. I fully recommend this. Now I'm going to read it again.
  • The Secret Dead (London Bones Book 1)
    Intelligently plotted, well-written, and gripping, I can't recommend this book highly enough. I bought the sequel. Fantasy, Urban Paranormal, or just readers looking for a good story will all find something here.
  • Zombies vs The Living Dead (An Evacuation Story #1)
    Fans of happy fluffy stories with happy endings should avoid this like the plague. Fans of drama, horror, possibly zombies, Shaun of the dead, and excellent writing should buy this book now.

I am traditionally not really the biggest vampire fan, or zombies or anything like that, but for some reason this one sounds a little more up my alley with the title. I like a more modern twist, so I am see me liking this one a little more.
