Pretty humourous "guide" for what you need to prepare yourself for after being turned into a vampire. Pokes fun at Twilight, Anne Rice's vampires, and a few other mythological things about vampires. A neat little read.
Neat little book that both makes fun of Twilight (sort of, and only a little bit), and references 'real' vampire lore. One of the first books like this that I actually enjoyed and breezed right through.

This book is funny as hell & I highly recommend this for anyone who likes vampires and has a sense of humour. :)
Quite funny and highly enjoyable. An easy read that didn't take itself too seriously.

it was "the joy of scrapbooking" in the description that sold me.
A funny book,that caught my attention immediately.It was fast-paced,with some hilarious moments.A bit naive at some parts,but not tiring at all.I generally enjoyed it.
you never know when you're going to run into a kid you knew decades ago, when you were five years old, who is somehow still only five years old, because somehow at the age of five he turned into a vampire. i'm just saying. wouldn't you like to be prepared?
