Recensioner

Written by: Greg Wilkey
Narrated by: Maxwell Zener
This is a fun and exciting teen/young adult book about a guy that finds himself in the middle of a big vampire problem, that problem is him.
How to fix that problem, kill the problem. He doesn't like that solution. Mortimer did not know anything more about vampires than anyone else that watches TV.
Now a bunch of vamps want him dead, why? Let's just say he is one-of-a-kind and some kind of legend...
It is humorous, suspenseful, crazy, twists, exciting, and a lot of fun. Except for Mort! I bought the next 2 books!
The narrator does a fantastic job at changing voices and keeping the excitement going, really makes the tension, suspense, or fun over the top at the right moment! Great job!

Mortimer Drake, a 14 year old junior high student is starting to have problems at school, with his strength causing accidents, having painful reactions to sunlight in the cafeteria. He's having trouble controlling his emotions. He is even sent home from school after one of these incidents. There's potential there in the story, if it'd been better written, but the parents reaction to their son's suffering - to be angry with him, berate him, declare disappointment in him as he's always been a very good student and well behaved son. What a huge betrayal by the parents who know his dad is a vampire and when Mortimer was born he was still born. There's even legends about a vampire human hybrid, which the book explains. But his parents knew all this but were still angry and confused? besides this, I wasn't the right audience, even though I've read other YA books and was very satisfied with them. Formatting of ebook file would be help, but a really good editor could also improve the story, pacing, reveal some more about the other character's motivations, remove repeating phrases. This book was not for me.… (mer)
