Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Reluctant Vampire (Argeneau, #15) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
The humour of this had me laughing every so often, the bit with the cahier at the petrol station near the end had me laughing for a while. I also enjoyed the romance between Harper and Drina though the sex scenes got a little boring after a while.
I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.

Amazingly funny show, the dark humour and deciding who to kill, not to mention being on a mission from God to rid the world of bad people!

Oh dear
A very dry, dead pan black comedy indie film. I thought it was going to be a thriller. Despite the cast this falls very flat. It's very predictable and not funny. The dialogue came across as if everyone was pretending to be a robot for some reason? One to skip.

Good characters
Amazingly addicted!
when I saw this come onto Netflix a long way back, I judged it hard refused to watch it because I thought it was some crappy zombie movies that I won’t like.
Then a friend insisted that I give it a try told me that the zombie solves crimes, so I thought to my self that’s the kind of thing I’m into
Well, now I’m lost because Iv seen all 4 season! Within a few days and now triddling my thumbs for season 5
It’s so good! I was addicted after 5 minuets Serves me right for judging before trying.
I Love the characters, I love the humour that they put into this, every episode there is something to laugh at.

Overall interesting Thriller
Finally watched this after hearing about it quite a bit. An enjoyable thriller about a stalker who kinda inserts himself into the lives of women he takes an interest in.
Done with a similar narration style as @Dexter - Season 1 to the viewer. It was fun in some episodes, with a fair amount of humour to it. You shouldn't like the main character but you view things from his perspective, and he comes across as the nice guy. The ending was a bit of a disappointment for me and felt rushed compared to the rest of the series. Not exactly gripping, I got through about 30 episodes of Dexter by the time I did all 10 of this. Entertaining if not a classic.

Pros:
▪ Laugh out loud dark humour
▪ Footnotes
▪ Set in England
Cons:
▪ I didn't find it sooner?!
Why have I not known about this book until now? Please someone tell me! I picked this up in my local bookstore last week for £1 (mainly due to the intriguing cover) and I quickly found out it's actually very popular.
One thing I loved about this book was that it was set in England, reading such a classic with local town names and even roads and motorways that I know very well really made it for me.
The dark humour in it is absolutely laugh out loudable... some people have compared it to hitch hikers guide humour which is odd because I'm not actually a fan of the hitch hikers... but good omens just had me from page 1.
There are quite alot of characters which can make it a little tricky to keep track but I didn't have too much trouble with this as I took my time reading it.
The added footnotes I found really helpful, some funny and others were genuinely helpful with extra information.
I'm quite excited to hear that Amazon are currently making this into a show!
I 100% recommend GoOD OMeNs!
