good book

i have to say, when i first saw the cover of this book, i was skeptical. it looked like a chick book, but, we all know the saying and in the case of this book it is so true. i was a little confused in the beginning of this book, but i liked the main charecter cal, i like khow they twisted our knowledge of the typical vampire, the whole thing with the crucifixes i found to be very intersesting, because catholocism was a big back in the time period that i would relate to vampires. i was very sad for cal that he was never again allowed to have a sexual relationship, or just a relationship period, with a girl after he was infected. i was half sad, half happy when i found out that lace might be infected, my first thought was that she was going to be a bad vampire, one who ran away from their anethemas, one of wich would be cal, and eat people. but i was very releived to find out about the pills that sarah took, and how shes normal. and now cal and lace could have a relationship and they both have superpowers, way cool. but if they get married i dont know how that would work with the like, centuries of life. i think i would get bored with someone after a couple hundred years.

Call only seemed to think he knew the story. What he didn't seem to realize was its not just his ex girlfriends that were infected, it's a lot more then that.

I'm not such a fan of the night watch because they aren't going to be able to help everyone in the world that was infected. They could try to help cals ex girlfriends and people he has infected but they will never gett every single peep.

I thought the alternating chapters on parasites were there to make you better understand everything. they made it seem like the book went a lot faster. But i don't think they were really necessary because you find out a lot about the parasite from cal.

I personally didn't enjoy this book. It's not the kind of book i would recommend to my friends.
