I finished this book a while ago but I wanted to do a blog entry. This book was very.....interesting...I guess. That is the right word. At first, the book was normal, a normal guy at a normal school with two best friends (One's whos name is jerk which is completely weird and I read that part over like 15 times to make sure I wasn't imagining things). But then later on, things get weirder. They start talking about how the town is looking for vampires. It struck me as odd that having vampires in their town is normal and nobody is really scared. I would be terrified if I knew vampires were roaming around town. Later on, all of a sudden some weird vampire guy dressed all in black comes up and talks to the main character (Chris) and it's just so weird because now the main character is a vampire (like what the heck??) and he starts talking about some orb or something to get rid of the dark lord. He makes a deal with Chris that if he gets the orb he will cure him of his vampireness? Okay, after this part, I was just like what...and I read over the chapter like 3 times until I sort of understood. Later on, he goes through this whole thing and get the orb into this portal? (I don't know..) and then the dark lord is safe. That was weird. And then in the end, Chris becomes a full vampire but he doesn't want to be and he wants to change back but then the vampire guy disappears? and leaves him alone. In the end, he's at home and his family is asleep and the book keeps saying "I am thirsty, I am so very thirsty" and then it ends. That part creeped me out a lot. I read this right before going to bed and I couldn't sleep because I thought the guy was going to come and suck my blood. It was weird.
I didn't really like this book, but I let Allison read it before me and she said it was a good book. This struck me definately as odd. This book was not really one of my favorites and lead me more baffled then satisfied.

WOW. This book sounds really confusing. I don't think I would want to read it now. It's great that you wrote about a book that you didn't think was that great because most people only write about the book they do like. So this blog entry is kind of a warning ahead of time. I don't really like fiction books, especially ones that deal with supernatural characters. But the book "Twilight" seems to revolve around the same idea as "Thirst" when it comes to having some kind of vampire curse lifted? That's atleast what I heard, and people say it's really good. So i'm guessing "Thirst" wasn't really good cause of the writers style.
its like "Twilight" in a weirder way..yea like nicole said. and i also think that i would be creeped out by the book if i were to read it. i think i would read it though. even though it ounds confusing and all, i think it would be interesting as you put it. i think that since i already read "Twilight" this book would keep me going.
have fun reading~!
