review 1: Vampire dating advice? In this day and age vampires are seen by the masses as boyfriend material rather than 'oh god kill it with fire'. And I think that most of us are okay with that. But that won't stop us laughing at the fact that a vampire is more likely to be interested in your jugular than your affection. And that's more or less the basis of this book. A gentle poke at various vampire novels and modern thinking on such monsters it had me giggling away every page or so at the advice, testimonials and charts on the ups and downs of vampire-human dating. If you want a vampire-based giggle, go for it.
review 2: I both really liked this book for its satire and was leery of it because, well, I can see sparkly-eyed teen girls taking the quizzes like the... morey do in Cosmo and holding themselves to the results. Poor boyfriends. I just can't tell if the satire wasn't strong enough or if it's just me reading a little too much into it.Either way it was pretty funny. It's pretty much a total rip on TWILIGHT and tells you how klutzy to be in order to snag a sparkly one, among other things. The breakdown of normal boys, goth boys and vampires was pretty funny, complete with diagrams with zits and fangs (not combined, of course).The voice was awesome and the tone was consistent. Vlad did a good job of getting his expertise across without slaughtering any of the testimonial reporters. I think. Good for him if he did.It was a super short read, meant to be light-hearted and silly. If you're a diehard TWILIGHT fan you probably won't like it because it makes no qualms about ripping the Edward-ish a new butthole. It maintains its "integrity" until the end and I think that might be what holds me back from really loving this book. I want to but the satire is at times hard for me to swallow because I can't help but think that a couple parts might not be satirical. Kind of absurd but that line between reality and satire is blurred which makes me leery.Still, it's a funny book and if you're looking for a quick break from the vampire inundation, this is a good break to have. less
