Let me say this: I prefer Scott Westerfeld's blood-thirsty, horny vampires in Peeps, over the sparkling ones in Twilight or the love obsessed ones created by Richelle Mead. The author thought this through magnificently well. Creepy and gross at times, but still very, very good. The actual plot of this book is him trying to catch Morgan-the girl who infected him in the first place. It is his job to hunt down all of those he has infected, and put them into custody.īut that is all backstory. Unfortunately, every girl he kisses or has sex with, he infects, and turns them into a vampire. This means he doesnt crave human flesh all the time, but he can see in the dark and run super fast. He has the disease, but not the negative symptoms. It is weird and strange, but utterly creative and highly unique.īasically, vampirism is an STD, which the protagonist, Cal, has caught from a girl named Morgan, when they were.well, you know. Scott Westerfeld has created a fantastic urban-fantasy, set in modern day New York. It wins the 'Weirdest Book I Have Ever Read In My Life' award. A bit of a difference in moral there.Īnyway, I really enjoyed this book. Funny, because Westerfelds other book, Uglies, the message was dont pollute the environment. Thats the message I picked up on in 'Peeps'. Dont have sex, because you will turn into a vampire, and die.
