Yeah. Haig writes for both adults and children, and says that his adult books will always have a 17-year-old feel to them because that's where part of his mind sits. :P


That sounds about right.

Certainly not. But at least the vampires are proper vampires, not icky sparkly things.


That is true.

Fair enough. I think Haig's style is to tell a story, not write a perfect book.


Yes. I think that is why I think it would work as a film.

Agreed with all of that. I would definitely watch a film of it. I think it would work VERY well.


Yes. I don't know if it was because you had told me that it had started out as a screen play, but I kept noticing scenes that were very visual. There was also a tendency for expositionary (is that the word?) sentences in dialogue, which you rarely find in literature, but which is a necessary part of films.

So was I. That kind of an ending would probably fit with a YA book.


Yes, it had the "let me teach you how to live a good life through this unreal story" feel.
