BLOODSUCKING FIENDS (REISSUE)

Okay the single reason, I picked up this book was because everybody was saying how good of a humorous ride it was and that how they find it hard to stop giggling and laughing. once I started reading it, I got confused as to whether this was the same book these people were talking about as nothing was making sense and except that i picked up a book thinking to be funny but was not, nothing seemed to be funny .Then I thought perhaps i am not adult enough to understand the humor and so i decided to give it a bit time and I guess that turned out to be a good decision as the book started slowly but eventually cracking me up in between with simple unsuspecting funny lines and circumstances and especially with its share of goofy characters.But there is this weird thing going around in the book where people are popping in between with their own stories and there is no break from one scene to other and this majorly happens from the second part of the book. I was constantly thinking " are we on the same scene or have we been taken to another in middle of this one?”The book is not a laugh riot through and through but certain scenes, dialogues and situations do crack you up. It’s a funny take on the whole concept of vampirism and having a vampire for girlfriend with lightly touched upon humor for my taste. End or the last part of the book was kind of hilarious or maybe it was just me being happy about the fact that the book was finally coming to an end (oops my bad ;) )If you are looking for a book that should make you laugh and tickle your humor bones from start to end then look away because this is not the place for you. But if you want to read something light unintentionally funny then yes you could pick up this one but don’t expect through and through laugh riot, because it is not.

La tapa es bastante fina y malilla, pero por el precio...El libro ya lo había leído y es maravilloso.

Overall it's a fun read. The story itself isn't earth shattering but I had a chuckle none the less.My only issue is that there's a lot of American referneces. Not being from the US, some of them went over my head. For example, I couldn't work out why the number 49 kept getting mentioned. Why 49 out of all the numbers! Finally worked out that it's the name of an American football team.

Nachdem einem nächtlichen Überfall erwacht die junge Jody neben einem Müllcontainer und muß zu ihrem Entsetzen feststellen, daß sie sich in einen Vampir verwandelt hat. Um vor sich sowohl vor ihrem Angreifer als auch vor dem Tageslicht zu schützen, versteckt sie sich bei Tommy, einem 19jährigen aufstrebenden Schriftsteller aus Indiana. Jody versucht mithilfe ihres Mentors, dem Vampir Elijah Ben Sapir, ihr neues Leben in den Griff zu bekommen. Doch leider hinterläßt Elijah immer mehr blutentleerte Leichen in der Stadt und Tommy gerät als möglicher Killer in das Visier der Polizei...Moore erzählt die Geschichte in einem angenehmen Plauderton. Und auch wenn es seinen bunt zusammengewürfelten Charakteren manchmal an ein wenig Tiefe fehlt, gibt es genügend unterhaltsame amüsante und satirische Momente in diesem modernen, fantastischen Märchen.Das englische Original ist für Erwachsene mit guten Englischkenntnissen geeignet, da sowohl der Satzbau als auch das Vokabular gut verständlich sind. Allerdings verwendet Moore an einigen Stellen auch Amerikanismen und Umgangssprache, die jedoch den Lesefluß nicht behindern.

I was maybe expecting something totally different. It's not a proper vampire book, but not even an engaging metaphorical lovestory between two young people living in a big city. The first few pages are ok, then it just became a drag.

Like the rest of the world (ok most of the world making an average income), I am inherently cheap. I gasped at the electronic price of this book then held my breath clicked the buy button, opened the book, and couldn't put the damn thing down! Buy this writers work....that's my advice. If you want an evening of full-blown readers ecstasy buy it. This author has a wonderful way of weaving words together that leave you wanting more, more, more. To the writer, forgive my comment about the price, to the potential purchaser...just pay it and sit down knowing you're about to enter readers heaven.
