Summary: The Undead.
Comment: I read this book awhile ago, but I still remember it well. This series (Forbidden Doors) is supposed to encourage youth to stay away from the occult. But what are the odds teens would go off to Transylvania to hunt down vampires?
Not that this book was boring. It wasn't. But it has a lot of flaws that are simply too obvious to ignore.
For one thing, the plot was unrealistic. Two teens, Becca and Ryan, are instructed by a stranger on the internet to go visit a movie set in Transylvania. Their mission? Track down the vampire that is stalking the lead actress.Sure.
Why did Bill Myers have to send them to Transylvania? He should have set it in California, their hometown.They DO make movies in CA!
The rest of the book was okay, but something wasn't quite right. It lacked that magical quality that was present in the original series.And when you get down to it, it just wasn't SCARY. Whenever the character see a shadowy figure, they assume it's "the vampire". Not to mention, the ending was a disappointment.
Too bad Bill Myers is losing his touch. Forbidden Doors just isn't what it used to be.
Rating: 3
Summary: Basic Plot, Good Character Development
Comment: The Forbidden Doors series has been one I normally enjoy. However, it usually incorporates things a little more realistic than fighting off vampires in Transylvania. This book is very basic as vampire stories go. There's no intense suspense or drama, except for very near the end. It's on an easy reading level, but I doubt it would appeal to the 9-12 age range.
I disagree with many parts of Bill Meyers's work. His constant stressing that only Christians can be trusted becomes radical. Christians are never bad guys in his books, and I dislike the prejudice.
It's worth checking out, but I'd recommend Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Fearless series over Forbidden Doors.

Summary: GREAT!
Comment: This was a great book! I loved all the stories in this series,but this story is the one most likely to happen.
