review 1: Would NEVER have picked this one up. However, Harley managed to choose it at our last library visit and check it out before I saw it. I decided that maybe I ought to read it first. I'm only a few chapters in, but am pleasantly surprised at it's age-appropriateness. I think it may be a decent read after all.Okay, so now that I've finished it, I have to admit that I rather enjoyed it. I think I was somewhat cynical coming into it with the surge of popular vampire literature, and wondering how similar to Meyer's version of vampire activity it would be. I don't know that Harley needs to read it... it's not inappropriate, but I just feel like, "Stay 8!" Vampires seem a bit older than she needs to go at this point. This is like a "gateway" book into vampirical reading. ... moreShouldn't she still be reading about talking ponies? I, on the other hand, would like to know what happens to our title character and just may have to finish the series.
review 2: Good book for librarians looking to supply the demand of the vampire craze but with a book that is appropriate for children. This story is probably best suited to kids 9-12. In this story 13-year-old (in human years) vampire Oliver Nocturne doesn't fit in amongst his vampire family and peers. He's always felt different, but when he comes across a human girl visiting his house during a sleepless afternoon, Oliver begins to realize his difference lies in being a little more human than other vampires. Ending was a bit violent though not graphic, so definitely recommended for a certain audience. A little draggy in certain parts, but a fun and intriguing narrative. Cliff-hangerish ending means you have to keep reading, so good for circulation at least. less
