My daughter brought this book home for school reading. It was handy so I read it. Definitely a book for teenagers but beware if you scare easily! This book is about teenage vampire boys who live in a cave near a pier and fairground. They come out at night to feed their cravings by charging at groups of kids having parties on the beach or an unsuspecting night guard walking to his car after his long shift. The story revolves around two boys who have just moved to the area with their mum and are living with their grandpa. The oldest boy gets involved with the vampire gang after spotting a very pretty girl who happens to be 'involved' with the vampires too! This book is for teens so, as a mum, my review is a mum's opinion. I think this book is okay for a teen to read as a fun book. They couldn't possibly believe anything that goes on in this book such as flying vampires attacking each other from different corners of a dark, dark room. And who is their leader? I will never tell but you will be very surprised when you find out! In the meantime, the younger boy has met some vampire fighting friends who set out to destroy the vampire gang with typical vampire gadgets such as crosses, garlic, salt, mirrors etc. Only problem is, none of it works. I found myself laughing at this book. All in all, it was well written and I'd recommend it for your sons and daughters.

First of all, I wasn't sure if this 'Lost Boys' was the one I'd read only because I read it many years ago and have since donated it to my daughters school library. I wanted to write a review about it though and have checked all of Mister Gardner's other books which really seem to be in the same line of this book type. The previous review seems very unfair to me. I can understand writing a 'quicky' review but it's obvious to me by looking at the first review that the person never read the book and obviously just wanted to win the money for the first review. This seems very unfair to me and I plan to write to the appropriate people about this. Sorry, but it makes me mad when people sit and read a book from cover to cover, only to see silly little sentences that tell you absolutely NOTHING about the book in question.

i really enjoyed this book, once i started it was very hard for me to put it down. it is interesting.

This trilogy would probably make one good novel. Both the first and second books are very slow and don't get very far. They both seem like they are from a novel that was stretched into a trilogy.

Light, fun reading. Nothing epic here. Gardner has created a very unique world with some enjoyable characters.
