Review - Eighth Grade Bites

Junior high really sucks for thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: his mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers, Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: he’s being hunted by a vampire killer.



Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has got to be the best out of the whole series, I remember buying and reading these at the start of year 8, I loved them then, sped through all the books and bought and read the last one the day it came out. I recently read them and I was a little disappointed. I thought they were amazing in my mind, not so much in real life.







But in saying that, I still found them slightly entertaining, and after re-reading them all. I again concluded that the first one was the best. This is why:

      1)8th Grade, I was in 8th Grade at the time, I felt I could really connect to Vlad.



      2)Vlad was a cool person, he was funny, he was awkward, and he had a crush. He was a awesome      vampire that I believed was real. It was someone I could imagine going to school with.



      3)The plot was not stretched out, it was short and sweet. It was a good plot.



      4)The Cover, only reason I picked up the book in the first place.



      5)He wasn’t up himself. Unlike a lot of vampires I've read about.



      6)It was generally a good book.



      7)Henry and Vlad were not pms-ing all the time.



Yeah, that’s all I can think of at the moment, but I’m sure the list goes on. Oh yeah, they were young and innocent, LOL. 



Overall, this is an interesting twist on the whole vampire thing and is worth looking at. Even if you only read the first in the series.







Yep, it kept me awake...
