Personal Reaction
Sometimes science is just more interesting than the myth surrounding it. The same old subject matter in this book takes on a new perspective with the enhancement of science. Unlike the other books I found this book does not give the readers any maybe to wonder about. Written in a comic book style  Author Stephen James O’Meara takes popular books and movie characters, such as the vampire family in Twilight, the Cullens, and H.G Wells book The Invisible Man, and points out the true hard facts around such things as Vampire beauty and Invisibility. This book is current and up to date on new investigations that have been made by mainstream science and universities. It does an excellent job in informing while entertaining. I will definitely be adding this book to my library this spring due to its up to date information and fun to read graphic novel, comic book format.
