Get over the Language! Geez!!
Okay...what book have you read that does NOT have a little bit of cursing in it? It adds color to the book. If you don't want your child to read the inappropriate words in this book, that is probably because they wouldn't understand it anyway. If they don't understand, they shouldnt be reading it anyway. This book is very different, and it is well worth the read! You will laugh and be on the edge of your seat. Plus, there's a love story! Wonderful!

great but slightly gross
The story was wonderful and very well written, but every other chapterI almost gagged. It was like the encyclopedia of gross things that might be swimming around in your body at this very moment.I mean how many people are actually interestedin knowing that toxoplasma is swimming around in your brainor bloodthirsty lice are sucking hungrily on your head.DO Not read this book if you have a weak stomach or currently swim in tropical rivers (Afterword section#3). the Story was extremely captivating and I could not put the book down till I finished. I can not wait to read the sequal!!!!

So original and fascinating!
Thanks to this book, I am now paranoid about parasites.
I love how it's not cliche as you would expect a vampire book to be. It revolves around a parasite that gets into a person's body and infects them with a disease called vampirism. The infected person becomes a "vampire" that hates eveything it used to love and shrieks at the sight of an anathema.
It does contain some slight sexual references, but if your kids(s) are 13-up, they'll be fine.
Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly start singing "Happy Birthday" while washing their hands, as this book may drive some people to become "clean freaks". I already was a clean freak when I read this...but now it's worse.
Highly recommended if you love creepy biology. If not...then read it anyways, at least you'll learn something new.
(If you are squeamish...then...tough luck, this isn't the book for you.)

There's just alot of language (several "sh*t"'s and one "F*ck") lots of violence,and sexual stuff but it is a different take on vampires than I'm used to and I liked it.

Loved the chapters on parasites! So cool
I hate vampire books. They`re all the same and follow the same plot. With that said, this is completely different. He isn`t a vampire - he`s `parasite positive`. Loved it! Completely original, funny, and interesting. Plus, you learn all about different parasites. There is a lot of references to sex, so parents really shouldn`t let some kids read it. But for teens, it is a great read.

Not for MY kids
What's wrong with this world? A story focused around the character always mentioning how he's horny(this is the word that is used to describe his needs). The word sex is on every other page and did Common Sense not read the page with the word d**khead or multiple use of h*ll and cr*p?? This is not what I want in my teen's hands to read. This won an award?

Amazing book. Parasite posittive
this book was an incredible book, the writing style was great. kids 13+ should be able to read this book, kids younger than that probebly should talk to their parrents before reading due to the mention of sex, and the carriers always being horny. other than that the book had a completly different outcome than i thought, it would. oh and if your squimish this book may not be for you cause the book does talk about parasites like every other chapter. EWW, must say its turned me into a bit of a clean freak. Great book. the 2nd book the last days is just as great, but it does take on a bit of a different turn. with the worms and all.
2 thumbs up
