I found this a fun read, light and frothy but nothing too brilliant. If you’re interested you can read my review here: http://tinyurl.com/3veqxet. Be interested to see the film when it comes out, sounds like they have some good people on board already.

I’m a bit tired of vampires (it seems everything I pick up lately has a vampire in it even if I’m not looking for one) but this book sounds like it might be fun.

I’ll definitely have to give this one a go. I love the premise. And, yes, I like vampires.

On the whole, I am not a fan of vampire based novels, but this one sounds like it may actually be good. I will have to check it out–thanks for your review!

Oh cool a British vampire book – we started the whole vampire deal so we should have more modern vamp stories set here(alright so there were vamp stories before Bran Stoker and he was from Ireland originally). I like the idea that it makes you question the front of normalacy as well.

Funnily enough, as I was reading your review I thought to myself it sounded like it would be a good movie or TV show.

Would you say this book is optimistic or pessimistic about the lives of the middle-class?

I am with Bermudaonion- I thought this was about To Kill a Mockingbird!

This sounds like a better take on the vampire premise than the book I am reading right now, Sunshine. A lot of people really love Sunshine but I am not feeling it…

From the title, I expected this to be about To Kill a Mockingbird. I’m not into vampires, but do think this sounds interesting! Great review!

Oh, this sounds like a really great read! I love that it does something different with the typical vampire story and that it has such great characters. I must admit to never having heard of this book before, but now it’s one that I really want to read. Thanks for the great review!!

I must confess I just cannot get into this vampire phase that has taken the world by storm. I did read Twilight and thought it was ok, but I have not read any of the other books in the series, nor have I had a desire to see the movies. Don’t even get me started on the Jane Austen remakes of this “other world”

This book, however, intrigues me. I would love to read about the British middle class, and the fact that they keep their origins a secret make me wonder if I might enjoy it even better. I will definitely give this one a go. Thank you, Meghan!
