  <default_description>ARE YOU UP to your neck in bloodsucking vampire stories?&lt;br&gt;Tired of those tales about dentally enhanced dark lords?&lt;br&gt;Before I wrote this book I thought all vampires were night-stalking, fangpopping, bloodsucking fiends. Then I met Morning McCobb. He&amp;#8217;s a vegan vampire who drinks a soy-blood substitute called Blood Lite. He believes staking should be a hate crime. And someday he hopes to march in a Vampire Pride Parade. He was also the first vampire to out himself and try to show people of mortality, like you and me, that vampires are just another minority with special needs. Trust me&amp;#8212;this is like no other vampire book you&amp;#8217;ll ever feed on. So, as my buddy Morning says, &amp;#8220;Pop the lid, and suck it up.&amp;#8221;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[If you're as tired of trite vampire romances as I am, you'll be pleasantly surprised with this new spin on bloodsuckers by Brian Meehl. Allusions to popular culture and classic graphic novels along with small amounts of language that may be objectionable to some readers make this book best suited fo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32328373">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yet another YA vampire novel.  But this one is much snarkier than others, as Morning McCoy is the &quot;Jackie Robinson of vampires&quot;.  Fun for the wisecracking dialogue between the geeky forever-16 vampire Morning and the teen daughter of the PR lady lady leading him around, the language outsid...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52191202">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm going to start by saying that I adore vampire books. I will give pretty much any vampire book a shot. I had high expectations for this one...it wasn't great. It was a fun book, I sat down and just read the whole thing. Entertaining, but with a sort of generic plot. Semi-generic characters too.

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book. Although I got really confused near the end. I had thought that Portia, after Morning had some of her blood, turned into a vamp. But I was wrong. The only reason I know that she didn't become immortal was because she ate a greasy burger. Other than that, it was good.]]></body>
