Peeps

Before I start, I must set you few blog readers straight.

What I am talking about in today's post is not actually the oh-so-yummy treat, but in fact a book...

Peeps, by Scott Westerfeld is a vampire story which is different than most.

It's fiction novel about vampires, explained by scientific information, mixed with a mystery, and has a bit of romance splashed in.

When I found the book, I had already read some of the author's other work (So Yesterday, and The Midnighters), and so I was thrilled that he had a book about vampires.

And when I actually recieved the book and read it, I was not disappointed.

To me, Peeps really stands out in a time where a lot of vampire stories come out bland and unoriginal.

So...you may be wondering, why exactly is the book called Peeps?

Well, in the book, all of the "vampires" in the world are called "parasite positives", or, when their title is abreviated, they are just called "Peeps". Get it now?

So...I would explain the whole plot, but I'm lazy tonight, seeing as I had a long day of camp. So...you'll just have to find out what happens in the book by yourself....by actually reading it!

Actually, I haven't read that particular trilogy, though I've heard it's great from many friends.
