  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;For Zack Thomson, living in the Nicholls Ward isn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange and severe allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home. He could watch as much television as he wanted; his best friend Charlie visited him often enough; and Nurse Ophelia--the prettiest no-nonsense nurse ever--sometimes took him bowling. Of course, that didn't mean he had it easy. His allergies restricted his diet to strawberry smoothies, and being the only kid at the hospital could get lonely. But it never once crossed Zack's mind to leave...until the night someone crashed through the front doors and told him to run. Now he's on a race for answers--about his past, his parents, and his strange sickness--even as every step takes him closer to the darkest of truths. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[For the most part this book was just a bit disappointing.  It is about a boy names Max who has been raised in a mental ward since the death of his parents living a nocturnal life on 'strawberry milkshakes'. Then one day a crazy man on a motorcycle crashes into his ward.  Suddenly he finds out he is ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66991055">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;For Zack Thomson, living in the Nicholls Ward isn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange and severe allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home. He could watch as much television as he wanted; his best friend Charlie visited him often enough; and Nurse Ophelia--the prettiest no-nonsense nurse ever--sometimes took him bowling. Of course, that didn't mean he had it easy. His allergies restricted his diet to strawberry smoothies, and being the only kid at the hospital could get lonely. But it never once crossed Zack's mind to leave...until the night someone crashed through the front doors and told him to run. Now he's on a race for answers--about his past, his parents, and his strange sickness--even as every step takes him closer to the darkest of truths. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[ This is yet another 'V' book. Yup. Max Turner does make it a bit different from the other YA 'V' books in the market. For one, Zack doesn't know what he really is; he believes that he is just sick. Two, Zack's condition is a virus, a sickness. There's nothing magical about it; it's just scientific....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64454027">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;For Zack Thomson, living in the Nicholls Ward isn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange and severe allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home. He could watch as much television as he wanted; his best friend Charlie visited him often enough; and Nurse Ophelia--the prettiest no-nonsense nurse ever--sometimes took him bowling. Of course, that didn't mean he had it easy. His allergies restricted his diet to strawberry smoothies, and being the only kid at the hospital could get lonely. But it never once crossed Zack's mind to leave...until the night someone crashed through the front doors and told him to run. Now he's on a race for answers--about his past, his parents, and his strange sickness--even as every step takes him closer to the darkest of truths. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Night Runner was a fun read.  It is a great addition to the YA vampire genre.  Zachary was a refreshing change from the usual protagonist.  The plot line kept you hooked and guessing and it definately did not end as I expected it to.  The back cover states that the book is the start of a series.

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;For Zack Thomson, living in the Nicholls Ward isn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange and severe allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home. He could watch as much television as he wanted; his best friend Charlie visited him often enough; and Nurse Ophelia--the prettiest no-nonsense nurse ever--sometimes took him bowling. Of course, that didn't mean he had it easy. His allergies restricted his diet to strawberry smoothies, and being the only kid at the hospital could get lonely. But it never once crossed Zack's mind to leave...until the night someone crashed through the front doors and told him to run. Now he's on a race for answers--about his past, his parents, and his strange sickness--even as every step takes him closer to the darkest of truths. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
