One of my top novels of all time... couldn't put it down.

I read this book in eighth grade. I was probably too young to get it then, and found it to be really dark and heavy. I'd like to revisit it sometime.

once you get passed that whole 'Greek love slave pops out of a book' thing I liked this one *grin*

** spoiler alert ** The Vampire’ Promise was a three in one book. It all typically dealt with the same house and the same vampire living in shutter, circular tower of the creepy old house that all the three girls move into. The first and the second was really interesting but I found the third book to be very slow and not something that drives me into reading it. However the overall book was great to read. It may seem like it is repetitive with the same vampire wanting to feel more alive by draining the life of the innocent people brought by each of the girls that lives in the tower and made a contract with the vampire for something they really want. However each story was uniquely different in its own way. Each of the stories revolves around the life of a girl and what they desire, popularity, beauty and freedom. By making a contract with the Vampire, when they open the shutters, the vampire gives them what they want and in return they each must provide him with a victim to get him more powerful. They each believe that it’s not a really big deal giving him a few people because he said they will just be tired that’s all, but when the Vampire takes the ones that true mean something to them, they start to regret what they have done. It is basically a story where the lesson is, if you don’t obtain what you want the hard way with hard work etc… there will always be consequences that follow making on regret the choice they have made. And sometimes it is too late to change everything around. The plots for each story comes quickly and we see each of the character’s grow as they realize what they did to make themselves happy is really ruining the lives of the others. This book is amazingly written and it brings out all my feelings as hate what each character has done to achieve what they want but then I feel as if in the end they did what they were supposed to, to make everything better.

eh.
"The three-hour meeting had taken place in a two-hundred-seat room nicknamed the air-conditioned rectum. I tried to make the event go faster by pretending to have superpower vision: I could see the carbon dioxide pumping in and out of everyone's nose and mouth - it was purple. It made me think of that urban legend about the chemical they put in swimming pools that reveals when somebody pees. Then I wondered if Leonardo da Vinci had every inhaled any of the oxygen molecules I was breathing, or if he ever had to sit through a marketing meeting. What would that have been like? " Leo, thanks for you input, but our studies indicate that when they see Lisa smile, they want a sexy, flirty smile, not that grim little slit she has now. Also I don't know what that closet case Michelangel is thinking with that naked David guy, but Jesus, clamp a diaper onto him pronto. Next item on the agenda: Perspective - Passing Fad or Opportunity to Win? But first, Katie here is going to tell us about this Friday's Jeans Day, to be followed by a ten-minute muffin break." But the word "turtle" pulled me out my reverie . . ." - From JPod. Coupland has an uncanny ability to take items from the zeitgeist and place them into a narrative that is fun to read. We all have those goofy moments at work when we wondered 'why are we are here for this ' or 'did I need all my education for this?' This book takes all those moments and puts them together into one fun place. Also check out the TV series based on the book at www. cbc.ca/jpod .

When he is seventeen Eddie Savage learns two things: the first is that his brother Steve has been working undercover. The second is that his brother is dead. Eddie is suspicious about the circumstances of Steve's death and decides to follow in his footsteps, taking on a job to infiltrate the Kelly family and try to find out more about Tommy Kelly, the boss. He does this through Tommy's beautiful daughter, Sophie - but is he falling for her? And is he getting in too deep? This was a BRILLIANT book! The undercover and shady world of Tommy Kelly, and the equally rather sinister department trying to get their man, are brought to pulse-pounding life by the intimate style of first person perspective writing. We are in Eddie's head the whole time, watching through his eyes and feeling the pain and panic of the events that he gets caught up in. The style of writing is as though someone had sat you down and was telling you this story verbally, which makes it compelling and insistent to read. I devoured this book in two sittings - and it would have been one if I hadn't had to do my day job goddamit! I started it on my lunch hour at work, and found myself immediately caught up in Eddie's life, to the point that I was almost late returning to work because I wanted to read just a little more. There are some harrowing scenes in Long Reach, some that shocked me to the core. Peter Cocks does not hold back in his portrayal of the very nasty world of underground crime. I actually found myself cringing as I read the book, wanting to look away but not being able to. For me, the best part of Long Reach is Eddie wondering about his own moral compass. As he is drawn into the Kelly family and their daily life, he finds himself enjoying their company and is forced to address those ideas that no one is completely evil. Crime bosses will go home and enjoy time with their families, cooking Sunday lunches and taking dogs for a walk. As Eddie's moral compass becomes confused, I found myself contemplating the ideas that he is dwelling on, which provides a real warmth to this novel which was in danger of being all glamour and no heart. I also loved the ending - there are no clean final scenes where Eddie is sat down and everything explained. We leave Eddie hanging - and this tremendous climax makes me want the second book NOW! Write faster Mr Cocks! DEFINITELY read this book. It is brilliant, heart-stopping fun, with a fantastic protagonist in the form of Eddie Savage. Awesome compelling writing that deserves to be widely read. Go buy it now!
this book is a must read for anyone who is or was a Marine, or a fan of war novels!!!!
good

What can I say? Revenge is SWEET! And taking on a whole new identity to get bloddy satisfaction on those monsters who stole your future because they're jealous, pathetic blobs of self-loathing is so nice! :)
