Summary: Complex, disturbing, funny book
Review: I was amazed at this powerful story of a young man confronting forces so far beyond his control that every plan he makes, every instinct he has absorbed from the horror movies that he and his friends constantly discussed prove to be woefully inadequate. _Thirsty_ is an amazingly example of a genre writing against itself. On tap of that, I liked the tone of Anderson's first-person narrator -- sarcastic, confused, but also shy. He's a 15- or 16-year-old guy trying to figure out how the world works -- and if that weren't enoough, he's beginning to suspect he's a vampire and a pawn in a mysterious battle between the Forces of Light and Dark. I'm going to read everything M.T. Anderson writes for the rest of my life.

Summary: Real Enough For Me
Review: I'm a little confused at the reviewers who bemoan this book's lack of factual accuracy. Since when have vampires been real? Who are these people?
I thought the book was excellent. Entertaining and thought provoking at once, with lots of great descriptions. I must admit, unlike some of my fellow reviewers I don't believe in vampires. But the physical effects of turning into one were so vividly described it seemed real enough for me.
Probably my favorite thing about the book is how the physical and emotional experiences of turning into a vampire mimic the adolescent experience of turning into an adult. The self doubt and realizing that those around you can be quite cruel - it can be a very painful and confusing time. I think we can all relate to that.

Summary: Disappointing!!!
Review: I'm pretty disappointed... The novel is an incomplete story, if you ask me. Everything was very good, though the author lacked in his theme and plot. To tell the truth, the novel was total incomplete. I think the author rushed carelessly through the novel. If he chose to write a chronicle--where is it? Did he completely rush through the book because he got tired of writing and wanted some money from the incomplete novel, and think the readers won't notice? Well, I notice alright, and I'm disappointed and upset. I won't recommend this. I would expect more from this novel. I read through it day by day, hoping that the novel would turn around and get better. I was wrong, the ending ended like that's the end the whole world will die. Whatever... I dislike this book.

Summary: thirsty for lies
Review: Of course this book is a good book, but it isnt because its true. In fact it is very WRONG. Vampires have to be blooded, they just dont turn into them,but that is the only lie. They can tell between themselfs who are fake, not by their shadows, but their aura, its kinda of like a scent a vampire gives off. Other than that this is a very good book full of interresting things. If you want something that is true, I srongly recommend a different book. If you want a fairy tale, this book is for you.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Once beginning this book, I was surprised to finish it within a week. Most books are boring to me and drag on for months. :-) I couldn't put this book down. Great elements for a horror, twisted, teenage book. Read this book even if you like powerpuff girls or fruit-salad. (I don't like either). Read the book.

Summary: thirsty for lies
Review: This book is good but it has many lies. First,people just dont TURN into vampires, they have to be blooded. Second, they CAN tell who other vampires are in a crowd, but not by their shadows, they have an aura (a scent a vampire gives off). This book was very missleading. If you want a book that is true, I would strongly recommend a different book. If you are looking for a fairy tale, this would be your book.

Summary: Deliciously dark...
Review: This book is hauntingly dark and realistic while at the same time being satirical and extremely funny in some parts. It is a story describing how sometimes it can be hard to do the right thing, especially when we don't know what the right thing truly is. The way the teenagers in this book are portrayed are so true to life, and even though they are placed in a kind of alternate world in which vampires and other creatures coexist with humans. The lust and pain Chris feels is so wonderfully written, and the dialogue is original and believeable. The end of the book is great because it leaves the reader with things to ponder about. I would recommend this book if you like darker moods and rich fantasy mixed with rich reality, even if you are not a teen.

Summary: An ongoing book about vampires!!!!
Review: This book was too long and had too much dragging in it. The book was about a bunch of vampires invading a city,how original. I felt this book lack character, althought its strong point was in content. I just wasn't excited about 256 pages of vampires. The boy named Chet was so very deserving of a oscar. I just think this book is not up to standards for the late 90's moderate teenage reading material.

Summary: Hilariously wicked vampire story
Review: With biting humor, this first-time author offers readers a cynical look at the onset of vampirism coupled with adolescent angst. Chris struggles with a crush, his annoying brother, and his parents' failing marriage. But all of that seems important -- not when the fate of the universe appears to be at stake. A very Buffy-The-Vampire-Esque horror comedy for the slightly darker, simply smarter side of the YA crowd.
