Summary: a morally ambiguous world
Review: Are the good guys good? Are the bad guys bad? What about you--you think you're good, but are you?The line between good and bad isn't fuzzy, but it's hard to tell who stands where. This is a cool book about growing up, good and evil, and pretty girls, some of whom are vampires.

Summary: Thirsty review
Review: Chris is an avarage boy going through a change that is not very avarage. He realized that he is starting to get very hungry but not for food. Chris is going on an adventure that he will never forget. I realy like this book because it is very easy to understand and follow. I recomend this book because there is mystery, horror and excitement.

Summary: Rushed but Entertaining
Review: Christopher is a teenage vampire. He wasn't always a vampire; it's just something he's growing into, and must learn to handle; that and being used as a pawn by the armies of Light and Darkness in a battle for the world. I wouldn't normally read fiction aimed at teenagers, but the voice of the first chapter sucked me in. Initially, I enjoyed Anderson's style; simple, direct sentences, small paragraphs, but after a short while I felt he was dumbing it down overmuch. His portrayal of teenagers is often hilarious, though the dialog and some of the attitudes seemed more fitting to fourth graders than high-schoolers. What I truly enjoyed were the scattered teasers describing a modern world in which sleeping Vampire Lords and virgin sacrifices are commonplace. Though the book is clearly intended as a comedy, it had its darker moments.

Summary: This Book Sucks!
Review: From the cover to the end, I was disappointed. I kept reading in hopes that it would get better, but it didn't. It was a lousy ending ant the beginning just rambled on and on. I love vampire books, but I'll never read this one again.

Summary: "Thirsty," like, missed the BITE
Review: Hmmm, raging hormones, the gorgeous crush, the battles with the parents, the name-calling older brother, rock music... all the familiar aspects of adolescents... but on top of all these traumatic life-threatening problems, vampirism isn't quite the usual one. However, Chris just happens to be one of those unlucky "unusual" people. Strange things are happening to him that just can't be explained away as "some teen thing." Odd cravings... sleeplessness... disappearing from mirrors... how do you work THAT into a conversation with Mommy? And to top it off, Chris is being asked to take part in stopping a plot that could send an ancient Vampire Lord to ruin the world. "Thirsty" had a lot of really great possibilities, but like the title, I was left at the end of the book with that dry throat feeling unquenched. Something about the novel never just quite clicked 'real.' The dialogue was a bit hard to sort through sometimes. "Just because, like, teens, like, use, like, the 'like' word, like, a lot" doesn't mean it's easy to read on paper. In fact reading the consistent use of 'likes' and stereotypical 'teen' colloquialisms really started to get on my nerves. Lots of the name-calling seemed more appropriate for fourth graders rather than high schoolers. In many instances it detracted from what otherwise was humourous dialogue, and instead made it a chore to sift through. Also, the entire "save the world from the evil vampire lord" subplot seemed trivialized and a bit unnecessary. The entire emotional dilemma that Chris was in (you know "help! I'm becoming a vampire and don't know what to do!") could've been plenty to base the entire novel on, but instead Chris not only has to be a teen-vampire, but save the world as well. If you love vampire books (like me), try another book like "The Silver Kiss," by Annette Curtis Klause, or for the more mature audiences, look into the Queen of the Undead, Anne Rice, and her novels like "Interview with the Vampire" and "Pandora." You might find a bit more there to sink your teeth into.

Summary: An okay read, but ultimately disappointing
Review: I really, really wanted to like this book. I did.. it takes place in the general Western Massachusetts area, near a reservoir I assume is based on the famous Quabbin (the reservoir that replaced towns... the very same one as in the film, "In Dreams"). Unfortunately, I found this book tended to fall a bitflat. I almost feel guilty for giving it just a fair rating, but there were just some things about the book I just didn't like. -Anderson doesn't use a lot of contractions, and thus the dialogue sounds oddly stilted, especially when you consider it's teens talking. -Though this book was published in 1997, it would seem as if it had been sitting around a while, or else Anderson has no idea what contemporary teens are like. He rather unfairly stereotypes several background characters as speaking like the great Valley Girl craze of the 80's. In fact, this book almost seems like it's from the 80's. -At the end, we are suddenly given a second point of view of the vampires,and how they too are oppressed and murdered through hatred. By then, it's far too late. We had just spent the past couple hundred pages witnessing vampires eating flesh and people (most notably in one of the most stomach churning scenes at a vampire church banquet), as well as hearing reports of innocents being slaughtered AND knowing that the vampires worship an evil demon lord. This is hardly the point in the book to try and gain our sympathy, it's just too late. This is not to say the author lacks potential. Anderson looks to be a very exciting talent, and I do own a copy of Burger Wuss that I am looking forward to reading. The imagination and the story are here, but the execution was a bit flawed, and I never felt drawn into the book or a part of the action. I just felt like I was watching everything happen through a smudged and dirty window.

Summary: Simply wonderful
Review: I thought this book was alright. This book is mainly about this boy named Chris who wants to get with this girl but he cant because he is turning into a vampire but he does not no why. I dont really like this book because I dont really understand it that well. I would recremend this book to people that like boring scary stories.
