Night 2 (Book Review)

This is going to be a somewhat different post, I might start doing more of these, I also might start just using The Night to be my main blog where I can talk about anything at all, generally late at night of course (by my time) but maybe sometimes, on rare occasions, during the day when there is still light out. Now as the title says this is going to be a book review so I am going to just post the review I have post on Twitter of this book, so when it says "tweet" you know I just meant the review itself. The book is also fitting to this blog, which makes a nice theme. It's a vampire, or I should say vampyre, book. The book is Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, yes two authors, one book. You may have heard of something like that before but this was the first time I had read a dual-author book. So without further delay, here is the review, previously post on Twitter:

Just finished Marked.. I think this tweet is going to be a long review of the book so if you want to read then carry on. First off I think this book was amazing, but maybe I am just being bias. So obviously this is going to be a positive review right away. I loved the characters and the uniqueness they all played, how the author(s) made them seem and the amazing personalities. How everything is perfect and at the same time horrible throughout the whole book, it makes it almost, dare I say, "magical". The only thing I would have to say about this book is the beginning confused me, and not for any big deal, because the writing style is fantastic. It confused me because it starts off with.. *SPOILER ALART* (skip to the indent if you don't want any spoilers) It starts off with a vampire standing by a locker in the middle of a high school and in the book they are actually called vampyres, with the "I" replaced with a "Y". The other thing about these "vampyres" is that they have a giant shiny moon on their forehead, making it bluntly obvious who is and isn't a vampire. This makes it a bit odd that he is just standing there like it is no big deal, of course the main character notices him right away so so does the reader (as it is told by the main character's point of view, thoughts and opinions included, making it quite humorous in parts as well). What the reader needs to understand is that this world, a copy of ours, yet not, knows about the vampyres, or at least that is the vibe I get, as some are movies stars and other various famous people and wouldn't the public notice a giant glowing thing on your forehead, they notice everything else in their private lives.
So this book has a nice twist of comedy, tragedy, romance, and everything else you would expect in a top-selling book. I finished this book in about 3 days of actual reading, a week if you include the days I wasn't, and it wasn't that I didn't want to read (the exact opposite, actually), I wanted to read it all day, but I was usually just too busy. This book is definitely one of those books that hold the reader to the book and leaves him/her wanting more. Over all I give this book a 9/10, I can't take off more than one point for the minor problem, earlier said in the spolier section.


I hope you enjoyed reading that little (or big, probably big, gonna go with big) review and post that I wrote. Have a great night, my previous outro was a bit lame, seeing as it is a blog about it being late at night, maybe that is fitting, but I think I am going to try and change it up until something just.. works. Goodnight world.
