Review: A humorous premise is turned into an epic storyline...
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 10, 2013
I bought all 6 of these books separately as they came out; it's a romping good series that grows pretty epic in nature despite being based (initially) on a joke; then again, the author has made a habit of taking a good joke and turning it into some epic fiction.This isn't about your typical vampire; it's about an extremely overweight man that gets turned and is stuck being overweight for the rest of his life...and that could be a pretty darn long life when you are for all intents and purposes immortal. Rather than just being one fat joke after another, the situation is treated relatively seriously and it's easy to root for him no matter your own size.The world sees quite the transformation from the start of the first book until the conclusion in book 6, but this is a great deal for anybody that wants to read the series. If you aren't sure, just pick up the first book, which at the time I write this review is available for free.
