The answer was a little too vague for our tastes.<BR/><BR/>Fatalis and C.B. I read both of your reviews before writing mine, and was bolstered by the fact that we weren't the only ones not to fall in love with this book!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745786643511417426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-87059040382576168352009-02-14T01:26:00.000-08:002009-02-14T01:26:00.000-08:00I'm so pleased there are other people who didn't l...I'm so pleased there are other people who didn't like this! It just generally fell flat for me, and I didn't see any original ideas. All the love it's getting is just making me dislike it more, to be honest.

I've not seen any of my students reading it yet.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Silas is a vampire. How would he be able to get Bod into school if he can't go out in the daylight?<BR/><BR/>But, see what I mean. That sort of thing should be clear to the readers. We should be left to wonder about more important issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-15434526758903891922009-02-10T12:02:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:02:00.000-08:00Quick drive-by to say thanks to all for commenting...Quick drive-by to say thanks to all for commenting.
