Book Reviews of How to Be a Vampire: A Fangs-On Guide for the Newly Undead

Book Review: Quick and sometimes entertaining read
Summary: 3 Stars

Do you want to be a vampire? Are you already a vampire
looking for a little bit of guidance? Or are you just a
Twihard, Vampfreak? If you are any of those, then this
book is made for you. This how-to guide to the underworld
is full of tips, hints, and quizzes, compiled from
everyone's favorite vamp media, designed to help the
fledgling vampire navigate his new world.

How to be a Vampire was a quick and easy read. Amy Gray walks you
through vamp lore, fashion, music choices, and etiquette,
among other things. Honestly, though, for anyone who has
seen, read, or played his/her fair share of vampire media,
it seems like a choppy at best, completely unoriginal at
worst, rip off of every vampire obsessed teen's personal
library. As a diehard vamp-fan, every fact from the book
was easy to connect to any popular vampire book. It
doesn't contain any new stories or information; it just
takes facts from different popular books and puts them
together. Although a quick and sometimes entertaining
read, it would not be worth the $14.99 it
costs.
