Title: Thirsty
Author: M. T. Anderson
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Year: 2008
237 pages
Not a standard teen vampire book, though it starts out as if it were. Anderson depicts teenage angst well, though I did not find it as engaging as some of Anderson's other work. I may have reached a point of Anderson saturation for the moment. Some reviewers have claimed that vampirism here functions as an extended metaphor for being gay, and I read with this in mind but don't find the argument compelling. I imagine that this novel would serve as an anodyne for books like Twilight.
