Title: Undead and uncool
Product review: The idea of this book was "cute", i.e., take a self-centered, vapid, vain chiclet and make her a vampire. No wait, make her an important vampire and juxtapose the two. I know, she'll be so vain she'll hate men but love expensive shoes! She'll even be a Republican! The cuteness just doesn't end. Neither does the annoyance, unfortunately.I applaud the attempt to create an original vampire character, making an ordinary, vain, imperfect human an immortal. When Davidson gets into action there is some spark and suspense. And there is also some humor when Betsy tries to continue to fit into her former life. But when a character is so stupidly self-centered and immature all in the name of "cuteness" -- and when there is not even a tiny acknowledgement that life might be a little different now -- then reading becomes an exercise in torture, and a minor diversion, like a toothache.
