Vlad Mezrich: The Vampire Is Not That Into You

Last week we discovered a first book which helps with the undead love affairs. This week we have another one. The target group of this book is the same as of the previous one so it is ideal for comparing. 
Firstly, this book is written by a vampire so you get more insight in all undead matters. 
Secondly, the design is much more sophisticated (the cover doesn't look it but the inside is covered in the timeless combination of red with black and is decorated by very tasteful pictures and patterns).
And the content? Oh, just lovely. This book also goes through all possible stages of relationship starting with finding your undead date to breaking up or keeping him. However, this time it's hilarious. 
There are many tests, diagrams, notes from different people, vampire hunter's pieces of wisdom, various points of view (be it smitten teenager or her chosen vampire), e-mail analyses, charts with what was said and what was meant by that, recipes, decoration ideas and lastly, even links to helplines when things start to go downward. It's full of funny stuff and there are even classic vampires mentioned so I have absolutely nothing against this. It's clever and entertaining, so compared to last week's book you should definitely go for this one and forget about that one. 

GENRE: self-help for teenagers
FANGS OUT: funny and gripping
FANGS RETRACTING: nope, no retraction
TOTAL SCORE:
