Thirsty by MT Anderson
"And I realize that the decision to be human is not one single instant, but is a thousand choices made every day. It is choices we make every second and requires constant vigilance. We have to fight to remain human"
When I saw this book I thought it was made to make fun of Twilight, actually written in '97. Were any Twilight fans even *born* then??
Thirst is a satire, but not on the vampire pop culture cult. (is that redundant?)It's not even a vampire book. It's about being a teenager and being human. Sometimes it takes turning into a vampire to realize what it takes to be a human.
Reading it without the lens of knowledge of intent of Anderson, I don't think I would have enjoyed this book. It seems that many folks did not enjoy Thirsty because they thought it was a vampire book. Silly people. Don't you know who Anderson is and his writing style?
But I did enjoy this book.
Did I love it? No.
Was it worth reading? Yes.
Will I read it again? Maybe.
Do I recommend it for you? I don't know.
