Kiss of life a generation dead novel by Daniel Waters

From the publisher:

The phenomenon that''s been sweeping the country seems to be here to stay. Not only are the teenagers who have come back from their graves still here, but newlydeads are being unearthed all the time. While scientists look for answers and politicians take their stands, the undead population of Oakville have banded together in a group they''re calling the Sons of Romero, hoping to find solidarity in segregation. Phoebe Kendall may be alive, butshe feels just as lost and alone as her dead friends.Just when she reconciled herself to having feelings for a zombie — her Homecoming date Tommy Williams — her friend Adam is murdered taking a bullet that was meant for her . Things get even more confusing when Adam comes back from the grave.Now she has romantic interest intwo dead boys; one who saved her life, and one she can''t seem to live without.

So courtesy of Daniel Waters and publicist I was able to review Kiss of like and I have to say I liked it.  A lot.  To begin, the plot is unique, or at least it seems like it is since this is a break from vampires.  Instead we get to socialize with zombies!  So basically in the book, we join Phoebe Kendall who had to suffer the loss of human, Adam, who took a bullet for her that was either meant for her or Tommy Williams.  Which caused Adam to become undead (are you following?).  And now, she has to cope with everything that has occurred since, Pete (the guy who "killed" Adam) getting off easy at the trial.  Adam's rehabilitation and Tommy ( so much to be said with that one name) Pheobe's sort of boyfriend.  

 

The character development was very good in this book, which is hard to say for other books.  You could really feel for Phoebe, who had to choose between Adam and Tommy (I can't even choose!).  The plot was very easy to follow but I do have to say the only problem in this book was just that in the mid-section the pace of the story slowed down and not much happened causing it to be a bit (just a bit!) boring.  There was just a bit to much dialogue which didn't cause much to happen.  Although, towards the end, the book started to pick up (which diappointed me because that meant I'd have to wait for the next book).  There was a lot of foreshadowing which lead me to my suspicions.  But under all the teen angst and drama the story actually has a pretty deep meaning, which I'll let you figure out for yourself once you read it.  You better read this book.  It's light, and I finished it yesterday and I'm STILL thinking about it.  That is the sign of a good book my friend!  

The dead bring all the excitement to this story.  Being dead doesn't mean your not alive in this book!

Go on and read this book!  I promise you it won't bore you to death!

The Vampire diares show

INHALE!  EXHALE!  INHALE!  EXHALE...

Okay, guys in case you missed it (you probably didn't) The Vampire Diaries show premiered on Thursday September 10th and  my watch  says that was yesterday.  I think it was actually really good and Hollywood didn't really screw up the story that's based on the book, like some movies (...Twilight...) or TV shows in this case.  So the opening to the show is basically a couple being attacked by a mysterious figure which we later find out is Damon (rawr).  So then  we meet Elena, played by Canadian (WOOT) actress Nina Dobrev.  Her parents died four months ago and her little brother is a crackhead (yah).  In the actual book her brother is actually a sister, who is about 7 years old (give or take).  

 

A lot of people have been in uproar because of the fact that Elena's hair is brown instead of theblond hair, blue eyes look that's in the book.  Personally I think it's fine, and I think the reason they chose to make her a brunette was so that Elena could be more relate able, most people would think that a blond girl with blue eyes who was  POPULAR would be a shallow airhead.  But those who have read the book know that that's not the case.  The show has been dipped inside a bucket of  horror and it really gives that creepy, eerie feeling that was not present in other vampire movies (ahem, Twilight).  There was too much going on though, Vicki, who is supposed to be in the same grade as Elena, is Matt's sister.  I think the couples were to intertwined.  But really, it's Damon, who is played by Ian Somerhalder who POPS.  He brings the excitement and horror to the plot, while Stefan and Elena bring the romance that barely escapes the cheesy bucket.

I thought all of the characters were fine, Caroline was probably blond because nowadays, blonds are pursued as the popular airhead type of girls.  But if I had to choose one person who I would swap it would be Matt.  I just think he's too...not sweet enough.  Too strong in some ways to.  But all in all I can't wait for the next episode next Thursday.  So lock the doors, close the windows and make sure not to invite any vampires                                               in because they are definitely here to stay.
