Better Ending March 9th

One day, after Zack got out walking around through dark allies, he looked up and saw something fly past his face. He was scared. His light walk turned into a light jog, then something pushed him down. He got up and ran as fast as he could. Thoughts were running through his head as he looked in ever direction. The he was surrounded by dark black shadows. He was standing still, looking for a way through, he didn’t feel like losing every penny he had to a bunch of rebels who think they are so cool because they spray paint buildings and carry guns. It got quit, but then I made a run for it. I made it back home and went to bed. I wondered who those people were. Then it hit me, they were vampires too. I could just sense it. Something suddenly told me to run and hide. Something was there. Then my door handle shook, I jumped out of bed and thought of a place to hide. There was a swarm of black shadows. Then I saw the bright florescent lights of a hospital room. And there I was, tube were coming out of me all over. I was so hungry. My mouth was so dry. I wondered where I was, but then I heard a voice, a voice of a woman. And then I woke up. I was all okay. There was nothing different, everything was all in order as if nothing had happened, maybe nothing did. I could have been dreaming. It felt so real though. It had to have been real. I heard a knock on my door. It was Nurse Ophelia. She had some food for me. Me and her had a long conversation about what had been going on. She told me it was a miracle that I was alive. I felt fine. I didn’t even know what she was talking about. She told me how I killed the evil vampire that had killed me father, but he had almost killed me first. I suddenly was so happy with myself. I was happy that I had got some kind of revenge over him or something. But then, she told me that he had killed my uncle. I felt like I just for punched in the chest. He had died because of me.

**Write a review of the novel** and give good reasons as to why a friend should or should not read the novel. We will create rubrics and exemplars to support you in this project.

I honestly would not recommend this book to any of my friends, unless I know they like fictional vampire books. I really did not like this book much. I'm not really a big fan of these kind of books, but there are a few people I know would enjoy. This book has a lot of things that are very hard to believe, and would not ever happen in real life. I like books that are more real, and could have really happened to someone. I know that the other people in my group enjoyed reading the book, and i'm sure they told other people about it, and if it was good or not.

**What message did you get from this book?**  For whom was the book written? Do you think that the author was successful in getting the message across? Why? Good and bad points about your novel. There was a very strong message from this book. It wasn't hard to put it down at some points. But when it got exciting, I kept going. I don't think this book was written to someone in general. I think the author did a great job getting the message across. You could feel the emotion in the story very well even though it was not true. There are things I didn't like about the book, but there are also things I did like. I liked how they used a lot of lyrical language, and had a great opening chapter. I enjoyed the use of action words that made you feel like you were really there, and were doing the things they were. Some things I didn't like about the book were the stories inside the story. Like when Zack thought his dad was murdered, but he was really killed by an\ 'evil vampire', Vrolok ... if that is even how you spell it. I didn't like them because of how fake they seemed. I know it is fiction, but I really felt weird reading it. I do not know why. I wish I had gotten a non-fiction book for my novel study. I feel I would have been more engaged. (and actually finished the book) I really liked the start if the book. There was alot of cliff hangers, but in the next few chapters, it was less confusing. This is my Animoto that I made about Night Runner, but there are just random pictures off the internet. []
