Oh… I Almost Forgot
Two things about that book I’m reading.
1. I forgot to mention that this force of vampire slayers is ALSO a popular rock/rap group. It definitely adds a feel of “Saturday morning cartoon” to the mix. “By day they’re a rap group, but by night they hunt vampires!” It definitely doesn’t help me take the book more seriously.
2. I used Google to search for a particularly bad line (you know, to see if anybody else thought it was as bad as I did). Only one search result was returned and it ended up being a message board where someone was “writing” a story and fans were posting responses. This story–which I skimmed–was a horribly blatant rip off of the book :P I suppose it’s possible that the person “writing” it wasn’t actually plagiarizing (as in, was admittedly just ‘re-imagining’ the story or something), but I’d still like to believe they were :)
