Notes from a totally lame vampire by Tim Collins 329 pages

What do you get when you cross Wimpey Kid with the vampire genre?? Answer: this mildly amusing tale will entertain the younger brothers of the Twilight readers. Nigel, a 100 year old vampire, is having an epicly difficult life as a terminally fifteen year old. He resents the fact that he is not old enough to drive and he doesn't fit the classic handsome ladykiller vampire profile. He has a crush on a classmate and is having difficulty impressing her. It doesn't help that his "father" is cheap and doesn't want to attract attention by making ostentatious purchases. He also resents his younger "sib" who seems to have a much easier existence while being a pain in his side. It is written in a similar Wimpey Kid format, black script on lined pages with occasional black ink cartoonish illustrations. I'd give it 3 1/2 fangs.
