I'm so glad ...Hey Samara, Alê, and L-Silverio!<br /><br />I'm so glad you guys enjoyed my review. And if you do read the book, let me know your thoughts. It's always good to compare notes.<br /><br />Missie, you brought up a really good point. I hadn't really made the connection about all the prejudice against Jenna, the vampire, and her being gay. You are very right about it being disturbing to you. Now that you brought it to my attention it also disturbs me about the message it sends to teens about being gay. I don't know if that was the author's intentions, but even if it weren't, she should have considered how it would appear. Big mistake there, and some food for thought. I'm sorry I didn't realized that before I wrote my review. I would have definitely made a point to address that issue. So, readers be aware! <br /><br />Oh, and thanks for the tip about Feed Burner. I got it working now. *hugs*VampAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731611159756980068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423112448490750581.post-53320929783271755872010-06-21T17:09:45.179-03:002010-06-21T17:09:45.179-03:00Thanks for reminding me of the mythology. I reall...Thanks for reminding me of the mythology. I really liked that, too. And you are right, more character development was definitely required. <br /><br />I'm surprised you didn't mention Sophie's roommate, Jenna. As the only vampire, aside from Byron (too funny btw), stuck at HH, I found myself wondering about her quite a bit. It really made me feel frustrated with the author for some reason that she made Jenna such a cast out by being a vampire and she made Jenna gay. I didn't like the message this gives. Probably reading too much into it, but that just irked me. <br /><br />Great review. I think I rated the book the about the same. It really does surprise me how fast this YA market is growing or gaining in popularity. I think that is a very good; obviously more teens need to be reading. I'll start by saying I didn't read as much as I should have. :( <br /><br />But you are right, it is hard to have a lot of variety in storylines. Most are variations of previous work. <br /><br />P.S.

Looking forward to your next review!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528974738470826360noreply@blogger.com
