New Book: The Chornicles of Vladimer Todd

So I started reading this book mentioned in my title which I'm too lazy to type out and it looks like it's going to be another one of those vampire love stories with so much drama and "unforeseen" predicaments. Let me clear things up. I'm not the type of person to read vampire books. Nor am I the type to read typical love, drama, boyfriend girlfriend books. The only reason I started reading this book was because my vampire-obsessed friend kept nagging me to read it. If she read one of my favorite books I would have to read one of hers yadyadayada. So to keep this promise, I started reading this book. Don't get me wrong, easy books are well... easy to read and all, but this story has no depth or deeper meaning to it whatsoever. I mean the font is huge for my standards and I haven't come across a difficult word yet (me being the kind that needs to find new words every now and then). So this book could be a "I'll read it in 2 days" kind of book.

It's basically about this boy named Vladimer Todd (duh it's in the title) and he's part human, part vampire. So far, the book describes his life as... oh what's the word... sucky. He gets bullied at school, his teachers and principals suck, and all the girls prefer his friend over him. To top that off, his parents died in a house fire, so you can just tell that this book is going to be bright and happy, just like vampires typically are. Oh and did I forget to mention that there are vampire hunters trying to kill him? Dang, what a turn of events. (I hope you guys have caught on to my many verbal ironic references back there).

Now the author of this series is Heather Brewer. There wasn't much I could really research on her. All I found out was that her birthday was September 21, 1973 and that she was a pretty dark person her whole life. She wears mostly black, like to wander cemeteries, and "devours" books. She has written two other series called The Slayer Chronicles, and The Legacy of Tril.
