I've read a number of books concerning vampires, but this is one of my favorites. Its not like a common paranormal novel. In fact, it seems more like a contemporary novel in a world where vampire commonly exist. I really enjoyed it a lot!!! ( ) I am reading the book right now, and it is so funny, amusing and I can't stop laughing, I ♥ Mina, she is one funny vamp (if she wanted to turn, I am not sure yet). I am ♥ing this book more and more!! can't wait to read the next book!! Uncle Mortie is hilarious and extremely amusing!! he makes me laugh a lot!! if I could I would give this book 10 ★s!! I just ♥ed so much! Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire by Kimberly Pauley Sucks to Be Me #1 As if being a junior in high school isn't hard enough. Mina Hamilton (yes, named after THE Mina in Stoker's Dracula), has always known that both of her parents are real-life vampires. No way, right? She's just learned, however, that they've been keeping her a secret from the Vampire Council so they wouldn't be forced to be separated from her (humans aren't supposed to know about the vampire thing). Time has run out. She's been discovered, and now Mina herself must make the decision of becoming a vampire as well...or else. This is a cute story told in the voice of Mina herself, a normal teenage girl, figuring out the nuances of dealing with her peers, boys, school, etc., and also traversing the gravelly walk of making a life-altering decision in a short amount of time. I liked it, although I did obviously feel too old for it. I think this would really be enjoyed by the age group it was written for. The references to Tarantino, Donnie Darko, etc., sounded like they came out of my own teenagers' mouths. In fact, the killer rabbit from Monty Python was brought up by my son tonight in reference to a video game he plays (Fallout). :) While it is a fun read, with lots of humor and cool characters, I can't say it's one of my favorite vampire books. Mina is pretty okay, though a bit of an airhead, and her family (including Serena) is pretty awesome. Nathan and George are both awesome as well, though perhaps a little unrealistically so. The plot is certainly original. There really isn't much action or danger or anything that is typically in, well, any book. It's all very laid back. But while Kimberly Pauley gets points for creativity, there are still some things that annoy me. First of all: making Mina decide to be a vampire when she's only a junior in high school. That just seems mean. Why would anyone want to be stuck in a sixteen year old body for the rest of their life? It is mentioned that the rest of the young potential vamps are all a bit older, so maybe Mina is an exception because of her family situation. But still. Also, Mina is really an airhead. But all that aside, it's not a bad book. It's a light, quick, humorous read about vampires, but in a good way. It's got a touching little theme about family and friendship. Enjoyable, but not buyable. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
