A nice surprise

Lily is just your normal average teenage girl living in a normal average town. She's not popular. She dosen't have many friends, and she's constantly picked on by the school bully. But that all changes when she wants to learn about the founder of the town, Aaron Lemachard II. The only problem is when she dose she finds herself drawn into a world of vampires, both good and evil. And if she dosen't look out Lily will get caught in the crossfire. Sound good? Well it is. Usually I can't stand comic books or graphic novels but this one took me by surprise. It was a great fast paced read with an interesting story. Even though it was very short (I read it when I was supposed to be working) it was very enjoyable. And if you liked it as much as I did look out for Zombie Night Fever, the next edition to the series. Enjoy!

Great GN!

I picked up this book and thought it looked like a pathetic 3rd-grade level novel w/size 20 type. WRONG! The cool art took me totally by surprise and the story was actually really good. I think this would make a cool comic book, but alas I don't think it is. Try it!

A really cool graphic novel.

Lily is a teenage outcast; the bullies pick on her, and she doesn't fit in with the in crowd. When a mysterious guy moves into an old mansion, she's curious, and ends up befriending him. Then she discovers his secret: He's a four hundred year old vampire! This was an awesome book, and the illustrations were really cool.

Coolness is granted

Hey, if you're looking for a fun, yet pleasantly unpridictable graphic novel, this is it. The art rocks, the story kicks, and there's more out there to follow it! A definate twist of flavor in a rather drab world.

This was the best young adult book about a vampire I've read

Confessions of a Teenage Vampire: The Turning is an exellent young adult book and graphic novel both. I have searched for a long time for a book about vampires that is as colorful, entertaining, and at some points touching as this one is. This is a book I highly recommend for young adults and adults both.
