Vampire Academy: Volume 1

An Amazing Book By An Amazing Author. Richelle Mead Is My Favorite Writer And I Also Love Rose Hathaway And Don't Forget Dimitri This story has Inspired Me To write My own story But It ended too fast I wish i Got to Know More about her! Your Fan Andreja Lupo (aka) NightShadow

The book is one of the best iv ever read but I actually like reding real books but the samples need to change put the number of sample pages u can read not the entire freaking book oh ya put down the freaking prices I only try and get this crap becouse my mom wont take to barnes and noble.

I read this in a "you read this, I'll read that" kind of agreement with my girlfriend. I have not read the sequels yet. I honestly expected this book to be pretty bad, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Its YA-ness is very apparent, as the book tends to over-explain things, and it certainly has a melodramatic approach to romance, but overall it has a solid plot, believable characters, and a healthy distance from the clichés of recent vampire fiction (i.e. Female human meets male vampire, drama ensues). It borrows almost nothing from Twilight, and in fact seems to want to be more like Harry Potter, although it stays different enough from that as well to retain its individuality. Solid book, look forward to the sequels.
