This was the very first "big book" I read on my own in middle school. It was also my first SPOILER ALERT Vampire story! I liked it then. I am sure it would be a load of crap these days.

I read this book as a teenager and really liked it. I came across it more than a decade later and decided to see if it lived up to my teenage hype. But honestly I can't answer that question.
I remember it being spooky and thrilling and easy to relate to the main character when I was younger. I wanted to know more about Vincent and the ghosts. Now as an adult I picked up on a few things that I missed the first time and became a bit squeamish at certain points (without spoiling too much, Vincent likes them young). Like, I feel really dumb to have been so intrigued by this guy, he's a total creeper.
While I will probably never read this book again it was nice to take another look at my gateway drug into vampire literature.

i wouldn't say that this book is like twilight at all other then the fact that one of the characters is a vampire, twilights five stars are rated way higher then this books five stars if you get what i mean, but there is no reason that i should give this book only 4 stars it was very good book, scary, but good. if you like vampires i recemend that you read this book :D
