I love the concept of 'Fat Vampire '! One of my favourite things about vampire novels is how the author has approached the mythology -ie, can they stay awake in daytime, can they have sex or eat human food etc.Fat Vampire has hit the ball out of the park in creating an entirely original mythology.Reginald is awesome, and i can't help but feel sorry for him because he's stuck in his overweight self!But...this book was definately too short and had a terrible ending in that it wasn't really an ending. I've read tonnes of book series on paper and am finding a horrible trend as I'm exploring the world of e-books...they don't end like a book should.I appreciate the "leave them wanting more" factor but I believe each book should have a story within the story, a mini plot that begins and ends in the individual books.The thing that leaves a reader wanting more is the characters and their lives, not the actual plot. By the time the next book comes out I have to re-read the previous book because the new book feels like you start half way through.I do recommend Fat Vampire, and suggest you buy the entire series at once so you don't get annoyed at the end of the books.
