Vegan Vampires? January 8, 2009

TAGGED:
The Livingstones are reformed vampires who traded in immortality and blood-sucking for a vegan life in New York City. The Knaveheart's Curse (sequel to Vampire Island) chronicles 7th grader Maddy Livingstone trying to save her older sister (and the entire New World) from a scary Old World vampire.
As if that's not crazy enough, Maddy still harbors some old vampiric feelings, and drinks hot pomegranate juice every morning and pretends it's blood (The Cullens should take a page from her book). She's also taken to eating mosquitos and ticks to get the blood they have taken from others. No vegan I know would do this, but I'm cutting Maddy some slack; she's new to the whole "human" thing.
Has anyone read any of these books yet? (Technically they're for a younger audience, but I still want to sink my teeth into them. Ha!)

Do you have any proof to back up your claim that Twilight is the best thing written besides your personal oppinion?
twilight is so good so far! one is a vegan vampire!
Posted by: jennie at January 8, 2009 6:07 PMtwilight and the rest of the series are the BEST books written! i love the Cullens and the Hales!
Posted by: at January 8, 2009 6:12 PMI'm going to read this. :)
Twilight was good; but I won't see the movie. I heard that Robert was horrible and it was bad special effects.
OMG! I absolutely love Twilight. It is the BEST thing ever written.
Posted by: Jaimie Kishkorn at January 8, 2009 7:57 PMi also believe that twilight is the best vamp book ever!! this looks good tho maybe ill read it
Posted by: at January 8, 2009 8:00 PMTwilight is good, but the fact that they call themselves vegetarians sort of pisses me off.
Posted by: sophia(e) at January 8, 2009 8:46 PMI've not read this book (or Twilight) but it does sound interesting (& I love reading any books, even 'childrens'!)
Posted by: Little_Lotte at January 9, 2009 9:14 AMtwilling is a shit on the face of litterature. they are not even real vampires. i also love how you guys turned this towards twilligt.
i think the book has a cute concept, trading in being a vampire to be a vegan. what about the author, is he a vegan?
I can't get into Twilight. Maybe if I was a lot younger since I'm in my twenties.
Posted by: Dawn at January 9, 2009 10:30 AMThat looks so cute! And a lot better then the "Twilight" books, they really were not that great.

Same question. How is it the best book ever written?
Posted by: Robert lee at January 9, 2009 1:46 PM"Do you have any proof to back up your claim that Twilight is the best thing written besides your personal oppinion?"
That can't be proved, because it IS a personal opinion. Besides, what makes you feel so compelled to be a jerk to people in the comments section? I would rather bathe in corrosive acid than read Twilight, but you don't see me walking around challenging people simply because they enjoy a novel.
To each their own. Sheesh.
Posted by: Lithium2 at January 9, 2009 6:16 PMThat's good that the books promote veganism, but it's not something I would read. I don't like vampire books and I ESPECIALLY hate Twilight.
Posted by: Shanna at January 9, 2009 6:20 PMI think I'll read it, it looks cool..
[that's if my parente ever buy a book for me]
But I have to say I've read Twilight and I love it.
[But that doesn't means other vamp books are crap]
Any Twilight-lover should read some Anne Rice.
YAY VEGAN VAMPIRE! That's actually really cute... Hmm, maybe I'll get it for my younger cousin?
Posted by: Salogma at January 10, 2009 1:08 AMThis is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on PETA.
Posted by: TC at January 10, 2009 11:34 AMThis is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on PETA.
Posted by: TC at January 10, 2009 11:34 AMTwilight are not the best thing ever written! God I am so tired of hearing about those unrealistic childish books! Okay yeah I read them, but only because I'm a vampire freak, I'll read anything about vampires. But the way that Stephenie Meyer did the Twilight sage annoys me to no end. What the hell is up with the hole 'vegetarian' thing, That was stupid. Oh! and lets not forget about the hole sparkle in the sunlight thing, That was ever worse than the 'vegetarian' thing!
Have more but I have better things to do.
Posted by: Kayleen at January 10, 2009 1:25 PMI agree with meagan.=)
Posted by: Jasmine Soto at January 10, 2009 5:25 PMno offense, but i'm sooo tired of vampire novels!
Posted by: Dawn at January 10, 2009 5:26 PMUgh. I can't stand Twilight.
Vegan vampires are sexy. >;]=
Posted by: Kat at January 10, 2009 9:11 PMugh i hate the whole twilight crap its just as bad as little girls freaking out about the jonas brothers and miley cyrus and stuff but it sucks cause most of my friends nad sisters are into the twilight so they dont understand thats what its like
i wont read them and i wont see the movie is just all so stupid like matt said its not the first vampire love story thats come out and i love how these books have been out for years and are just now this big amazing thing its a load of crap
people are acting like its the only good book on the planet want a good vampire series read cirque du freak by darren shan cause darren writes amazing books and there even making the series in to a movie as well
Posted by: Salena at January 11, 2009 12:23 AMI read the Twilight saga and I personally loved them. They were cute and romantic. I tihnk that this book sounds cute too. I may read it.
To sophia(e),
I'm pretty sure Stephanie Meyer meant vegetarian as in as vegetarian that a vampire could get.
Just my opinion. =]
Posted by: Maddie at January 11, 2009 8:29 PMThis sounds like a cool book, but I don't get why people are bashing Twilight and saying they aren't vegetarians.
I agree with Maddie.
It's not in the literal sense of the word, it's supposed to be their own inside joke.
I love twilight. I've seen the movie and I fell in love with Robert Pattinson....but I think the books are better because they're more desriptive....
Posted by: ♥Rebecca♥ at January 12, 2009 4:34 PMI personally can't stand Twilight, it turns off everything I like about books and Vampires, infact, I don't even bring up about how I used to be facinated with them, purely because people expect me to be obsessed with the book. I especially hate the obsession people have with it, and the main characters.
I think the idea of a vegan vampire is a lot more interesting, and makes me want to read it.
Vampires drink blood, or in this case, kindly give it up - they don't sparkle love.
Posted by: Stacy. at January 12, 2009 4:41 PMI agree, twilight was a ridiculous series of books. It was basically an excuse to churn out several long and mediocre romance novels.
In my opinion, nobody has elevated the craft of telling vampire stories like Anne Rice herself. I would even put her above Bram Stoker, although she may not have ever started vampire writing if it wasn't for the formers work.
Posted by: Mr Vampire at January 13, 2009 12:01 PMNah, "The Vampire Chronicles" are the best vampire series ever written...not Twilight.

Posted by: mel at January 8, 2009 3:44 PMi still personally think "Twilight" is the BEST thing ever written.
