Awesome book!! Vladimir Tod: Eleventh Grade Burns, is an exciting book! You could read it over, and over again, and never get tired of hearing the ending...Someone should make a Hall Of Fame Of Awesome Books, and put Heather Brewer in it!!!

This is my last read for Carl's R.I.P. Challenge, and I have to say I picked a good one. I've enjoyed the entire series from the very first page of the first book and feel that it has definitely picked up speed through the next three books. With one book left in the series, Eleventh Grade Burns

lives up to its predecessors and remains a breathless read.

There has been a not-so-gradual descent into darkness that is only natural as Vlad matures and as the Pravus prophecy becomes closer to coming true. This is an especially description for this fourth book. The comic relief provided by Henry is paltry at best this time, only because of the seriousness of Vlad's situation. Much of the novel is spent with Vlad coming to grips with balancing his vampire and human natures, which is necessary to set up the final installment.

Having spent so much time over the past few weeks raving about the Vlad Tod series, there isn't much more I can say. Eleventh Grade Burns leaves the reader with one amazing cliffhanger and definitely sets up the last book quite nicely. The lack of hormone-fueled drama is a refreshing change from other young adult novels. The result is a novel that continues to answer questions about Vlad's potential future, setting up the final showdown quite nicely. I can hardly wait to see how it all ends!

Vladimir Tod is still fighting enemies and making new ones in this book. He now has his uncle to help him though. I liked this book a lot and couldn't put it down.

What can get harder for a vampire than being a teenager and having to hide what you are? Just ask Vladmir Tod. He's a teenage vampire with a load of problems. He's given up the girl he's been infatuated with for years, to keep her safe from his thirst, but now she's dating the friend who wants to

kill him. His uncle is going on trial for murder, and breaking other vampire laws, and isnt expected to survive. One of his drudges, the one he feeds from, is falling for him, and he's confused about her. His fathers journal is stolen, and there is a new, yet very old vampire who says he must have Vlad's mixed blood to taste. A lot for a teenage boy to handle, much less one who is a vampire. Ms. Brewer does a wonderful job of ramping up the excitement, stress, and suspense here, without overdoing it, or making this into a horror series. Lots of twists and surprises keep the pages turning, and the end of this one is a cliffhanger!

Eleventh grade burns, is the forth book of the rest of the books. Vlad had to dump Meredeth because his hunger for blood was getting over powering. Also Joss is coming bake (his best friend that turned out to be a slayer, and tried to kill Vlad) . Joss is coming back to kill his best friend for

But he heard a voice, he hadn't heard in a long time. His dad. His dad that died in the with his mother. His dad stood there in front of him, alive and safe.
I liked this book because for the twists the author puts into the story that makes it exiting to read. I think the author did a great job with to detales and pretty much everything. There were some parts that got confusing but i was able to find it out by reading more. Over all, it was a very good book, and hope people will take there time and read it also. I would be worth the time.

Not going to lie, a good deal of this one was pretty predictable: the pretrial, D'Ablo's goals, even the "shocker" at the end, I could see coming. I still enjoy it, but Ms. Brewer should join a literary club so that other authors can help her fix some of her issues

Vlad's still upset that he broke up with Meredith, still feeling guilty about feeding on Snow, and of course worried about the ever-present threats to his life. Vlad also spends a lot of time feeling confused in this one, which is kind of a contrast to the next book where everything becomes clear
