Title: Great idea, disappointing execution
Product review: What's the oldest, hoariest, most boring vampire story imaginable? I'll tell you: a vampire drinks someone's blood and they turn into a vampire too. Eric Savoisin starts out with an intriguing idea--his vampire, instead of drinking blood, drinks the words right out of books. Mix this with a boy who doesn't like to read, and I was ready for him to turn this into one of those books that celebrates the joys of reading. I was disappointed. The plot is the typical plot of other vampire stories, rather than the clever one demanded by the concept. In spite of many nice touches along the way, the ending was a big letdown.
