I wish this would have been translated badly over to english from japanese. Atleast that would give this book an excuse for the crappy dialogue that has now infected my brain.
I've never seen a book. That uses. So many. Periods. Throughout the dialogue. To explain. Things that could. Easily be. Explained without. The periods. At all. Thus we. Have sentences. Like this.
Except that they are badly written and much much more confusing. Did they really talk like that?
The characters reactions to....everything in general, hardly made sense. It didnt seem like they had a permanant personality at all and that they author was still trying to figure out how to make them act in each chapter. So we have characters that would freak out over murder one chapter.....and then care less the next. Not to mention Taro not being suprised at all at becoming a vampire. He even accepted it pretty well.
I know its fiction and all, but the main thing that made me not want to read this was the whole ''all ninja's have to be vampires'' thing. My first thought was ''and I guess that samurai's are probably werewolves....'' I immediately put the book down.

Actually... The book doesn't go like that with the writing style. The sentences are more complex and compound...
