The Evil Seed- Joanne Harris


Have always loved her books, from Chocolat to its sequel, The Lollipop Shoes/ The Girl in the Window. There's always something a little magical in her books, you will know what I mean if you had read Chocolat. The Evil Seed is a little different, since it was her first book after all. And they had just had it re-issued some time back. Nonetheless, it's quite a great book especially if you are into vampires, which is all the rage now. I I like this phrase from the book:"Something inside me remembers and will not forget". Apparently the author saw it on a tombstone and got the inspiration for the book from there. Anyhow, I'm feeling a little stupid trying to write the sypnosis. It's a well-written book but the plot wasn't too amusing. It's basically a bunch of vampires feeding, seducing men... What I liked was the idea that as long as someone remembers Rosemary, she can never die. and she will raise again from her grave to haunt the earth once more. This was the reason why she had always had the need to find a man who loved her unconditionally and crazily. Oh well, read this if you liked Twilight, minus the romance.
