review 1: i thought this was one of the best books i have ever read. i loved it absolutly a thirst quenching story you start reading it and you cant put the book down because you wanna find out what happens next. i would recommened this book to anyone looking for a good book it is a exelent book im asstound and most books cant do that to me so i know this is a good book if it can do that to me it must be something great. alex the star of this book started of not knowing what to really think of the whole vampire killing ordeal but he soon kicked into one big vampire butt kicker and he enter the scholomance and came out alive something that hasent been done for atleast fifty years and then this little boy joins the polidorium and he does it and he was only hunting for a couple weeks b... moreefore. paul and sid are just weird they talk weird and they seem like theyed be weird to be around. sangester sonds like a really cool person to hang with or be around.
review 2: My Review:Fourteen- year old Alex has had weird things happen to him, and has been kicked out of schools with no idea why these things happened to him. His father sends him to Glenarvoun Academy hoping that Alex will not know the truth about himself, that Alex is a descended from the world’s famous vampire hunter, Van Helsing. But that all changes fast when he arrives at Glenarvon, and confronts two vampires in his first three days there. Turns out that there is another school near Lake Geneva, hidden deep underground an ancient University for vampires called the Scholomance. And the deadly vampire clan lord known as Icemaker. When two of his friends are kidnapped by Icemaker, it’s up to Alex to infiltrate the Schoolmance and get them back- alive.. Assisted by the Polidorium, a top secret vampire hunting organization with buried ties to the Van Helsings. Alex dodges zombies, bullets, and lots and lots of fangs, on his way to thwarting Icemaker’s plans and fulfilling his family’s destiny...... My Thoughts: -I love how Henderson created a fascinating world of vampires, and used the legendary vampires we know and love and ties it with the classic literature stories, such as Stoker's Dracula, Shelley's Frankenstein and the poet Lord Byron. -I also enjoyed Alex’s curious and brave character, but most of all.. I love the mysterious and creepy vampire school Scholomance, that was full with deadly vampire enemies, and around every corner was a secret to uncover. This book definitely caught my curiosity level, and I’m looking forward to reading the second book in the series and more.. So was this a enjoyable book? YES! And should you go pick up a copy and read it? YES! So there you go.. -I definitely recommended this book to any Van Helsing and vampire fans will enjoy this book...-And I give this book 5/5 stars... less
