I had to read this in school, only during English lessons, and I regret to say that I chose it for my group to read. Although, if I'm honest, it was the best-looking one in the stock cupboard. So... yeah.

The plot is interesting, the characters are amazing for the most part, but I can't stand the way Tim Bowler writes. I don't what it is about it, but I just couldn't get into it. He writes as if he's writing for little kids, despite the relatively complex plot, and throws in swear words now and then just to higher the age rating. It's really rushed, and it's as if he hasn't re-drafted.

However, it's clear that he's planned it, because the plot is well-thought out, and that much is obvious. With the kidnapping and the pendulum and Imogen and Ricky ... it's so inventive. If only he could write better, this could be an excellent book.

There's a storm coming, gotta catch it.

I think this is the one in which Zero drinks Kaname's blood. Do you have any idea how erotic it looks? As a slash fangirl, I squealed (internally, because I was with family) at it in glee, but still - It looked like ... a porno manga or something O_O I remember changing my position on the sofa so my aunt couldn't look over and see it. Haha.


Why do I remember this? BECAUSE ZERO DRUNK KANAME'S BLOOD, YOU NITWIT!!!


*cough*

Oh, and by the way, I can't finish reading the series because someone decided to take them out of the library before I could get my hands on them, and apparently, they want to drive me mad by not returning them. Also, if I buy them, I'll want to buy the entire series, and at £7 a book, I don't have that kind of money just laying around.

Book Thirty-One

I am an idiot. First of all, I'm sorry for neglecting you. I have been reading. Secondly, I wrote down the blurbs for Vampire Knight Vol. 4-7 so I could return them to the school library, but I can't find the sheet ANYWHERE. I've literally turned my room inside out, but it's hopeless. I can't remember when I read those specific volumes, or what happened in each individual one, so I'm just going to post my overall opinion of the entire series, but in seperate entries, so ... yeah. iSuck.
