Book Reviews of Peeps (Bccb Blue Ribbon Fiction Books (Awards))
Book Review: Peeps
Summary: 4 Stars
Usually when you read about vampires, you think of crazy, bloodsucking, evil flying beasts, but Peeps puts vampires into a different perspective. Instead of calling them vampires, they call them peeps. Being a peep isn't a curse either; it is a disease. There are full -blown peeps and there are people called carriers. Carriers are like peeps without all of the symptoms. They are still fast, night-visioned and good listeners, but they don't have the urge to kill.
This story is about a carrier named Cal. Cal is a hunter of peeps. He hunts down peeps and sends them away so that they wont kill any more people. All of the peeps that Cal hunts are his ex-girlfriends. Carriers can still transmit the disease, even through a kiss. So Cal meets a girl, falls in love, and wants to kiss her but he knows what will happen if he does....
I love this book because it is funny, action packed, and it is about a typical teenage character.
Summary of Peeps (Bccb Blue Ribbon Fiction Books (Awards))
A year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying than in attending biology class. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life.Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan. All three have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. It's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create more of their kind. . . .Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld's novel is an utterly original take on an archetype of horror.Subjects Books
