Woah. This book is creepy. Giant rats, vampires, and lots and lots of SCIENCE (very readableno bio background required). Oh tales of epidemics, I love you so. Check this one out for sure!This ones an interesting reinvention of the vampire mythvampirism is a sexually transmitted parasite, an idea that Westerfeld explores fully, and often with great creativity and zest. (You know how that bit about vampssorry, peepsbeing afraid of crosses came about? One of the parasites adaptations is to attack the brain and make you hate everything you used to love, so infected people wont just hang around noshing on their neighbors and get killed by the mob with torches and pitchforks right
DURING READING: So far it's not holding me in. It's been a fairly uninteresting biology lesson. AFTER READING: OH MY that was horrible. Just horrible. I hate myself for having finished it. It's about a boring parasite living under the streets of NY who finally makes his appearance and is slightly defeated. OH MY GOD It's lame. The entire book is spent discussing PARASITES... not just like.. hey they are what they are.. no, a long, detailed DISTURBING look at specific, real-life parasites (like a
I was going to say this is one of Scott Westerfeld's earlier novels, but they all seem to have come onto the scene around 2005. Instead I'll say this, it's one that's set in New York City.So, here's a reason to advocate abstinence only sex education: You can turn into a vampire if you exchange saliva with the wrong person. Cal, unfortunately, misses out on this lesson--so after a drunken one night stand he ends up as a vampire. As you might have guessed, these are not your grandmother's
I enjoyed this YA vampire novel quite a bit, even though I ordinarily prefer supernatural monsters and vampires to pseudoscientific ones. In this case, vampirism is definitely pseudoscientific. Its caused by a type of parasite, and the chapters focusing on the main story are interspersed with chapters about different real-world parasites, such as snail flukes and Toxoplasma and so on.After a year of hunting, I finally caught up with Sarah. It turned out shed been hiding in New Jersey, which
I read this once before and sure enjoyed reading it again. I get very caught up in the story and don't think about much else. It is wild and exciting. Vampires are called peeps and are infected so they can fight the "worm". I love all the stuff about parasites as that stuff fascinates me.
Peeps is easily one of my favorite books. This is the third time I've read it and I still adore it. I've always been a fan of well-written vampire books but this book is the vampire novel for people who can't stand vampire novels.I loved that Westerfeld steers clear of your typical vampire stereotypes. In Peeps, vampirism is a parasite that preys on the human race. It has all the biological traits and side effects of a common parasite. The person gets super strength and senses, is constantly
