As a big fan of 80s movies, This did pretty much read as a modern, darker version of The breakfast Club. If that was the intent it was done well. By the end of the book I didn't want it to end. It is highly adaptable for a tv series or movie and I would love to see one.

The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.

Bale has not been one of my favorite Batmen for as he is portraying a darker version. We have all grown up on different versions. Tom Hardy is good as villainous Bane and Hathaway isn't half bad as Catwoman.

Definitely a darker book than I normally read, but I am glad I did. The characters were real, the plot was tight, and the writing was so good I felt the cold of an upper New York State winter. Hard to believe this is a debut novel.
