Title: Diary of a Wimpy Vampire: Prince of Dorkness
Series: Diary of a Vimpy Vampire - 2nd book
Author: Tim Collins
Read Before: no
My Comments: In truth, this book is probably somewhere between 6 and 6.5, but I thought I’ll just be more conservative. Anyway, this is a great sequel to the first book, and just like it’s ‘source material’, this sequel has another supernatural being come and take the main character’s girlfriend away. Yup, a werewolf comes, and it shares much of the same lore (albeit in a funnier version) as New Moon from the Twilight series. It feels more like a parody of Twilight than Diary of a Wimpy Kid now. The usual events happen in that the girl wishes to be transformed a vampire and then when she gets rejected, jumps over to the werewolf. However, just when you thought you can guess what’s going to happen, it suddenly changes and turns over a new leaf. I found that very refreshing, the book manages to deviate yet stays similar, very well done and kudos to the author. The funniest thing here is that the book makes fun of the lore, but still uses it partially. It’s take on werewolves was funny. The ending isn’t what you’d expect, and hopefully, there’ll be a sequel.
Rating: 6/10
