Rick Gualtieri: Bill the Vampire

Now, this is a refreshing story. It's so likely. I mean, in a perfect world of vampires where you are turned only if you meet all the requirements of the clan, an unlikely person becomes one. A geek. A nerd. In a coven full of smoking hot vampires who definitely prefer looks to brains (they aren't zombies, duh!), a little overweight nerdy type of a guy who spends his weekends fighting imaginary dragons on the internet emerges and surprises everyone. Even himself.
This book is hilarious because the hero who isn't really a hero but someone who tends to find himself in the right places during the right time due to his bad decisions will give you hope. Your life won't seem that miserable after you spend a couple of days with Bill.
If you add crazy geeky roommates who don't bat an eyelash on their friend's sudden transformation you get a book which has real potential. 
So brace yourselves Bill is coming. He will let you peek into his mind and you will see how the most powerful beings actually may gain their status just by accident. Life sucks. Literally. 

GENRE: dark comedy
FANGS OUT: you come to feel something for the nerdy boys (hatred or love or nothing, that's up to you)
FANGS RETRACTING: some passages were too long and uneventful while the eventful ones were shortened
TOTAL SCORE:
