Greenfield's Surgery: Scientific Principles and Practice (6th edition) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Marking this book as "read" is a lie, as I got about 90 pages in and decided I didn't want to finish it. It's about a family living in modern-day England? America? (one of those) who are actually all vampires. The parents decided to abstain from human blood about 17 years earlier and they have never told their 2 children what they really are. The 2 children, Rowan and Clara, are regarded as freaks at school, as they are sickly (because they don't drink human blood), and sensitive to light and garlic. In an attempt to get healthy, Clara decides to try an all-vegan diet, which works on humans but not so well for vampires. She ends up killing a classmate at a party and realizing she has a taste for blood, and more than that, all of her ailments vanish once she's tasted blood. This happens within the first 80 pages or so, so I presume the rest of the book is the family dealing with this crisis, including calling in the dad's brother who is still a practicing vampire (and has a past relationship with the mother). Now why I didn't finish it: I thought it was going to be a humorous take on vampires and modern culture, but it was more cynical and depressing than cynical and funny. At least the first 90 pages were. Perhaps it ended more hopefully or with the characters growing and developing, but I didn't want to slog through all the cynicism to get there.
