    Who's Afraid of Beowulf? by Tom Holt (Dr.Science)
    Dr.Science: The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore.… (more)

Jody is a vampire. Tommy wants to be a writer. ( )

I understand that this whole overplaying of clichées and stereotypes is intentional but it's just too much, way too much for me. Haha, stupid, ignorant, and naive people do stupid, ignorant, and naive things, haha. I just don't find that funny, at all. Intentional or not, It just makes me sad. If you can get behind that kind of humor, go for it.

I liked the switch from the "girl falls in love with man vampire" to "boy falls in love with woman vampire", but this book was overhyped for me. It was entertaining but now that I've waited a couple of weeks, I can't remember much of it.

Hilarious and riveting. This series by Moore does have some PG for teens content, but nothing extensive or very graphic. ( )

The entire plot was so implausible, and I'm not talking about the vampire part (cuz hey, you never know). What I mean by implausible is a young woman asking a man she's known for a day to move in with her, ESPECIALLY when she has a huge and disturbing secret that would make her completely at his mercy for her safety. I'm talking about a group of drugged up losers being able to effectively battle an ancient evil vampire, and people moving to San Francisco because of Jack Kerouac and other Beat writers. Also, none of the characters were likable. The one saving grace of the book is that it was set in San Francisco; I'm a sucker for seeing the names of my streets, neighborhoods, and local joints in print. ( )
