Hawkes Harbor Audiobook

" I found the book moved along to slow. It was not a kind of book I would normally read, but it was not bad. I personnaly like more action in a vampire book. "

" I love S.E. Hinton's novels. They're all terrific. This one's my least favorite (I always have preferred YA to Adult books) but it wasn't necessarily a bad book. "

" Or, the author of The Outsiders and Rumble Fish adapts the old late 60's/early 70's vampire soap opera Dark Shadows into a novel. For some reason. I enjoyed this mostly as a fan of the soap, never having read any of Hinton's famed books. This installment focuses on the Willie Loomis character (here named Jamie) and his relationship with bloodsucker Barnabas (here named Grenville). I think someone must've ran into some copyright issues? Anyway, if Hinton ever writes more in the series, I'm on board, esp. if she brings the witch Angelique into the mix. She could call her...I dunno, Marguerite? Fun stuff, perfect for Dark Shadows acolytes needing a quick read for airline travel, etc. "

" The best Dark Shadows fan fic I've ever read! Finally some respect for Jason & Willie (uh, I mean "Jamie & Kellen"!) The ending made me cry and NOTHING usually makes me cry. "

" Had a kind of young adult fiction feel to it, probably because the author is known for writing only that. Bland writing and strange plot (not in the good way). Disappointing in every level. "

" SE Hinton also wrote The Outsiders - and is a fantastic writer. This one is a little disturbing at times but keeps evolving in ways that are unexpected. A definite page turner. "

" This book was just really strange and all over the place. Totally different than what I expected, and not in a good way. I wouldn't bother with this one. "

" A surprisingly hopeful and very inspiring book. "

" Didn't like it as much as the ones I read in junior high... "

" I loved this adult novel, centering on a young man who lives the life of a juvenile delinquent, a South Seas Sailor beset by pirates, and eventually falls in league with a subtle stoic vampire. Amazing fiction. "

" This must have been really bad because I never leave notes to myself unless something was awful. "

" The book was very disjointed. The timeline jumps around a lot and the story leaves you wondering about things, but not in a good way. Not a tough read so I did finish it but I am asking myself why I finished it. "

" Not what I was expecting from S.E. Hinton, but I liked it still. "

" Wonderful tale about a vampire where for the entire book, he was not the focus. Hinton did an amazing job with this with a character you couldn't help but feel sorry for. "

" Interesting and lovely book, but sometimes I didn't know quite what story I was reading. "

" I found it very strange "

" Interesting story. I kept reading and didn't want to put it down because of my curiosity of what would happen. But honestly I was left saying "WTF, really, that's it?" I feel this book had potential to be much more than it was "

" I threw this book across the room. Not because I didn't like it... NO! FAR FROM IT! I just didn't want it to end! The ending was so perfect! One of the best books I've read since The Outsiders. "

" I enjoyed the way it was written....bouncing back and forth between the "past" and the "present" of the main character. "

" so disappointingly bad "

" Strange book coming from this author. It was about vampires which I thought totally took away from her genre, but she did pull it off. "

" Well, it's definitely the best barely-disguised Dark Shadows fanfiction written by a famous author of classic YA novels that I've ever read. "

" I read it and I am confused? What in the hell was this book about? "

" The absolute BEST vampire novel I've ever read. This beats the crap out of Twilight. Much better for a more mature reader and an amazing story line. It skips time alot, never letting you know the complete story, making it all that more intriguing. "

" So not what I expected - looking for this book to give me as a grown up what her earlier books gave me as a teenager. Characters didn't find a place in my world and I forgot them as soon as I was done reading. Wonder if Hinton will try others? "

" Vampires. . .are you kidding me?! I love, love, love The Outsiders. I wanted to love this novel, too, but I almost stopped reading it. I only finished it so that I would know how it ended. Very disappointing. "

" This book was just really strange and all over the place. Totally different than what I expected, and not in a good way. I wouldn't bother with this one. "

" Kinda good in a really weird way. "

" I recommend to anyone that like to read about young adult fiction. this is really interest book and I love it. "

" I enjoyed the way it was written....bouncing back and forth between the "past" and the "present" of the main character. "

" I had high hopes for this book, but alas, it was very disappointing. I thought being on the New Yorks Times Bestseller list, it would be better. "

" Just finised it and sorta liked it.:/ "
