BOOK: The last vampire by Pike

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

The last vampire
by Christopher Pike
[Pike books are a bit more mature, violent, and bloody than
Stine's Fear Street series]
        This is the story of a teenage girl vampire.  The tale breaks
the sterotypes we think of when we imagine vampires;  it is mixed up
with East Indian folklore also.  In the story our main character has
been found out by her creator and they are the last two vampires.
Krishna as ordered her creator to illiminate all the vampires.  The
story has violence, gore, friendship, and love. Normally I do not
like this genre but I enjoyed this book.
        I would not recommend this book to all students.  While this
398 page book is readable by many kids, but because of its main theme
I would not give it below a very mature 6th grader or 7th grader.
