Generation V (Generation V, #1)

by M.L. Brennan

Update: I have finished books 2 and 3 and they are great reads and I would recommend that you continue on. Fort starts coming into his own and he's doesn't stay a weak character.

3.5/5 rating

This was a good and easy read. There is some parts I like and some I don't. This is a vampire novel and I like the way the author does these vampires. The Vampires in this novel are made different from any version I have ever read before. I love the dynamics of the vampire family and the main character is OK. He is a weak character and very passive, a lot of people take advantage of that throughout the novel. It can be frustrating at times and you just want to shake Fort, the main character, and make him stand up for himself. He finally does at the very end, the last chapter, which was kind of refreshing. I hope in the next book he doesn't go back to being as passive as he was.

My favorite character has to be Suzume, she made the book enjoyable and I love her in every scene she was in. She pushed/nudged Fort to do something he would have never of done.

I was struggling on whether to give this a 3 or a 4 rating because there was a few things that made me decide on the 4 rating. I loved Suzume and the way the author did her vampires and how they do things.

What I didn't like is sometimes I felt the author over described things and Fort could be annoying at times. Hopefully he gets less passive in the next book.

Just for a warning to readers, this book deals with a vampire that likes young girls. It doesn't describe anything, it just makes it where you draw your own conclusion on what's happening to the girls.

I'm planning on reading the next book, I would like to see where the author takes the story.
