Peeps bloggy posty

             In the (um, well) interesting book Peeps, Cal is an infected vampire person who feels bad for himself because he can't have a girlfriend or he will turn her into a vampire. In my opinion, it is not a very well written book, and the idea of vampires has gone so off in the past decade, that now vampires aree actually mortal, and they just don't like the sun, and sometimes, they don't like the sun because they sparkle! Really? The terrifying bloodsucking creature now sparkles and or doesn't like the sunlight! What is up with that? Anyway, the main character is looking for other "vampires" so that he can protect normal people and lock up the savages. But there is something lurking below the surface of New York City, and Cal is trying to find out what it is, meanwhile trying to hide his identity. I don't think the book is very interesting, except for the beginning of the chapters, which tell you about a different kind of deadly parasite. In Peeps, being a vampire means you somehow caught a parasite and you are living with it. So I guess that relates to the stories? The beginning of the  chapters sound more like a science book than a badly written story about "vampires." 
          
              Another reason I don't like the book Peeps is because the author doesn't give anything in the book that much importance. Yes, the main character cares about his cat, and his friends, but the book gives no backround of his life. If there was some more details about Cal's life we could feel more sympathy for his condition and instead of just looking at the words and not really reading, a reader should be able to read a book and actually think about it and want to read it more later, instead of just going, (as Ms. Cunningham would say) "I liked it it was good," you should want to read it again and again until your eyeballs hurt. Then again, people have different preferences, but a book should leave a reader thinking, and not just searching for something more interesting to do. There are some interesting parts in Peeps, like when they find the creepy vampires, and the mutated cat; but it seems like all action and no real details. Going back to back rounds, Westerfeild did say what state Cal was from and how old he was (Texas and 19) but he didn't say of he was adopted, who his parents were, did he have siblings, nothing that made the story any more interesting.
          All in all, that is why I don't like the book Peeps. It is badly written, there is no back round information about the main character, and the idea about scary monsters is very thrown off.
