The human characters were bland for the most part. These reminders weren’t necessary at all and only made the prose more awkward and clunky. Another problem I had was with wordiness a lot of things were repeated, like the vampires’ hair color and the seductiveness of their eyes and lips. There were times when I thought chapters were cut too short just so they would end on cliffhangers, which really wasn’t that necessary. However, I wasn’t terribly crazy about the way this book was structured. Not tight since it meandered and floundered at some points, but nothing too distracting. I vaguely recalled hearing about this book and seeing it in classrooms when I was a kid, but never got around to reading it until now. Stine had written a vampire book for teen readers (the first Goosebumps book I remember reading was Vampire Breath). So naturally, I was excited to find out that R.L. As in I’ve been obsessed with them since I was seven years old. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this in any of my previous reviews, but I LOVE vampires.
