vampires non-sparkly style

I've been reading, okay, have read many times, the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites.  I believe my fourteen-year-old brother views it as far too gross and far too girly, all at the same time.  Aparently, I am dead to gross descriptions of the blood-drinking of teenage vampires.  But whatever.  For all we know, I am one. 

So there.

Additionally, isn't the cover awesome?  How the title's on the back?  And the black/white art of Vlad?

My only real complaint is that the plotline/writing style aren't the best.  But that doesn't mean I don't love it...
