review 1: Review for Peter And The Vampires by Darren PillsburyThere are times when I am tired and not in the mood for drama or serial killers or long erotic scenes. Or maybe, it’s a rainy day when I want something light and whimsical. On those days, I pick something like Peter And The Vampires although obviously, I am not a child. I have always loved the Harry Potter books, and movies such as Goonies and The Lost Boys. I downloaded this book never having read anything by this author, and laid it by for a rainy day, which was yesterday. And needless to say, I loved it. My favorite character is Dill, Peter’s best and only friend; Dill is first to run into trouble and first to “Pee his pants” when he finds it. And I disagree with the reviewer who said that the book ha... mores no positive female characters. She probably feels that a positive female character has to be a successful lawyer or doctor. I found Peter’s mother to be a loving, hard-working mom facing life with courage and determination. The main character, Peter, is loyal and courageous. The book is funny, fast paced, and of course, childish!I Love It.
review 2: If you're a ten yr. old kid you'll probably think this is an awesome book but the book is presented as : "PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is for teens and adults who, when they were kids, were looking for stories that kicked butt. The protagonist might be young, but the stories are dark, funny, and pulse-pounding." I can't really agree with this at all. I thought the book was very tame and silly, the characters were very stereotypical. I read it searching for a new book to use in class next year but 8th graders would not sit through this...I had to force myself. less
