Synopsis/Description: Some vampires are good. Some are evil. Some are faking it to get girls. Awkward and allergic to the sun, sixteen-year-old Finbar Frame never gets the girl. But when he notices that all the female students at his school are obsessed with a vampire romance novel called Bloodthirsty, Finbar decides to boldly go where no sane guy has gone before-he becomes a vampire, minus the whole blood sucking part. With his brooding nature and weirdly pale skin, it's surprisingly easy for Finbar to pretend to be paranormal. But, when he meets the one girl who just might like him for who he really is, he discovers that his life as a pseudo-vampire is more complicated than he expected. This hilarious debut novel is for anyone who believes that sometimes even nice guys-without sharp teeth or sparkly skin-- can get the girl.
First line of Book:"Turn me," Jenny demanded, looking up at me, her eyes so intense they could have bored me into the brick wall behind me.

Review:First of all, LOOK AT THIS COVER! I don't usually write about covers but this is just so cute. Even my mom (who is fed up with vampires even though she's never read a single book about them) smiled when she saw it. Whoever designed it has great taste. Now, to the review.

Have you read what's written in the back cover?I read it once and immediately wanted to read this book. What's better than a FAKE VAMPIRE in literature? Especially after this vamp spree going on! And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint!

The concept of the story is very original and I was instantly interested. Finbar is a likable and funny character. I'm not sure how a teenage boy's mind works but as far as I know, Meaney seems to have got it right. I love it when the character learns something by the end of the book, and I really liked this book's message, it's very useful for teens.
The writing is good, it's an easy read, great if you want something light and comic that still has a message.

Even though it looks like the story is pretty much all that's in the blurb, it is so not true. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out some cute little twists in it I wasn't expecting.

All in all, it is a great book that is worth reading. Hmm, if it were made into a movie, it would be a helluva romantic comedy ;D
I surely recommend it!
