Nigel Mullet is nothing like the beautiful, sparkly vampires we've all become so accustomed to. He doesn't dazzle anyone with one smouldering look, he's not a smooth talker and he certainly doesn't possess any cool vampire abilities. He's a normal 100-year-old vampire forever trapped in a 15-year-old's body, and he's bored. Very bored. That is, until he meets Chloe - love of his life and the object of his eternal affection. Then begins a quest to make her his girlfriend, which is both hilarious and cringeworthy. But mostly hilarious.

I really enjoyed Diary of a Wimpy Vampire, though I knew I would as soon as I read the summary. It had me laughing out loud on many occasions, and the parody side of it was so amusing. Imagine a geeky Edward Cullen pining over the girl he can't get, then add a bit of Spike's terrible poetry to the mix, and you get Nigel. Being in high school forever sounds like complete torture, and his embarrassing parents don't help matters. His dad wears capes and his sister is a 10-year-old wannabe princess... things can't get any worse! Sounds funny? It is!

Tim Collins has written a brilliant diary-style book that vampire fans will love. It includes fantastically funny illustrations, and you can't help but feel sorry for Nigel. Navigating high school is hard at the best of times, but when you're almost 100 years old and still haven't bitten a girl's neck.. well.. what can you do? I really hope a sequel is in the pipeline, because I want more from Nigel. I'd love to see how he deals with things after the book ends, and I also want to see more of his family. They are so cool!

Diary of a Wimpy Vampire has been described as Twilight meetsAdrian Mole, and I can't think of a better way of selling it. It has all the awkwardness of Adrian Mole's teen years, along with the vampirism you'd expect from Stephenie Meyer. Although sun rashes and a lack of strength have nothing on mesmerising golden eyes, Nigel still rocks, 'cause he does it all with a killer sense of humour. No pun intended.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are merely the smallest element of language capable of containing meaning and isolation and as such could never directly produce the force of 4000 Newtons force per square centimeter required to break bones.

}

I have concluded that I've nothing to do with my time. I spent half an hour making this in Adobe Illustrator, and for crying out loud its an optional IT homework that might as well be written down in pen on a napkin for 10 minutes.
