halkeye reviewed Fat Vampire by Adam Rex
Review of 'Fat Vampire' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Its a pretty good book, just not a great book for me.
I really enjoyed the beginning of the book. I loved the characters and the development, and the issues. There is really nothing about the first half I didn't like. Admittedly I found the whole teenage love/lust stuff really hitting a bit too close to home, but I can imagine the author went through the same things.
Sadly the second half.. I didn't like how mean the main character got. How mean he was to other people. The whole "who turned me" mystery never felt like a mystery to the reader. All clues really lead one way, then near the end it was obvious you were lead astray.
The book turned out to be more of a thriller than a nice story than I would like (and I like thrillers).
