From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Grade 9 Up–Vampire stories are a staple of the publishing industry. They are usually romantic and sexy, steeped in a dreamy magic. Peeps is none of those–well, maybe a little sexy. Nineteen-year-old Cal, a Texas transplant, lost his virginity–and a lot more–when he first arrived in New York City. He became a parasite-positive, or peep–he prefers not to use the v-word. Now he works for the Night Watch, a secret branch of city government dedicated to tracking others of his kind. Unlike the rare natural carriers like Cal, who has acquired night vision, superhuman strength, and a craving for lots of protein, most peeps are insane cannibals lurking in darkness. But now the teen has found the young woman who infected him–and learns that something worse than peeps is threatening the city, and he is on the front lines. Cal's voice is genuine–he's a little geeky, as evidenced by the intermittent discussions on parasites, and he laces a dry humor through this immensely reasonable biological vampire story. The evocation of NYC is exactly right, so that even the most fantastic elements of the plot feel believable. Much of the story is concerned with Cal's detective work and growing relationship with Lace, his Major Revelation Incident (he tells her his secret); toward the end, the action picks up in a race to reveal the horrors to come. This innovative and original vampire story, full of engaging characters and just enough horror without any gore, will appeal to a wide audience.–Karyn N. Silverman, Elizabeth Irwin High School, New York City

From Booklist

Gr. 9-12. In Westerfeld's latest smart, urbane fantasy, parasite positives, or "peeps," are maniacal cannibals that cause illness. College freshman Cal was lucky: he contracted the sexually transmitted disease during a one-night stand, but it never developed into its full-blown form. Now he works for an underground bureau in Manhattan that tracks down peeps. Apart from the cravings for rare meat and enforced celibacy (turning lovers into monsters is "not an uplifting thing"), life is okay--until a hip, cute journalism student intensifies Cal's yearnings for companionship. Complicating matters are indications that peeps have an urgent evolutionary purpose. Breezy essays on parasitology feel a bit intrusive, and the plot ultimately spirals into B-movie absurdity. But a great many YAs, particularly those who relished M. T. Anderson's Thirsty and Annette Curtis Klause' Blood and Chocolate (both 1997)will marvel at Westerfeld's plausible integration of science and legend. Westerfeld's concluding, passionate defense of evolutionary theory will raise some hackles, but the fact that the whole thing is premised on an STD probably preselects an audience that won't take offense.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A Book that Should Engage Both Sexes!, Jui 2 2009
Par Denise L (Calgary, Alberta) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Peeps (Paperback)
In Peeps, vampirism is caused by a parasite spread through bodily fluids. The main character, Cal, is a carrier immune to developing full-blown symptoms. Recruited by an ancient organization responsible for rounding up those exhibiting full-blown blood sucking behavior, Cal is charged with capturing the girl responsible for his contraction of the parasite. His quest leads him around, and under New York City, where he observes bizarre behavior from vampires and associated creatures that seems to be connected to some sort of rumbling deep in the earth......

This book is engaging while reading, but wasn't the type that occupied my mind every second of the day when I wasn't able to read. (This disinterest may have been because I knew Cal wasn't the main character in the sequel.) However, I did love Cal's "voice" and the multitude of "discoveries" throughout the plot was captivating. I also enjoyed being educated on various disgusting parasites (which is sure to be a hook for reluctant readers that may lead to some out-of-text internet research), as the author wrote about a different critter in every other chapter.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Peeps, Oct. 10 2009

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Peeps (Paperback)
Peeps" is about a parasite that causes vampirism in humans. The parasite can be sexually transmitted and usually the victim is left incapable of a normal life thereafter. There are a few who catch the parasite who are able to function normally and they become the hunters of those infected with the parasite and wreck havoc on society in a vampire like fashion.

Cal is a carrier of the parasite and he has infected all his girlfriends, who have become peeps due to the parasite or in other words vampires. Cal's duty is to find them before they create more peeps. The problem is that Cal is infected with the parasite, but not out of control, but he still has an heightened awareness of all his senses and the parasite makes him want to eat constantly and the parasite also heightens his desire to replicate and transmit the parasite to others. Chilling was the part when Cal found the writing on the wall in blood, while hunting for the female who originally gave him the parasite. The appearance of the worm was too soon and its destruction seemed out of place.

I thought this book started of strongly, but then it seemed to lose momentum. I enjoyed reading the chapters on different parasites and how they survive. The last half of the book seemed to want to wrap things up too quickly; a few more chapters with more details on the origins and workings of the parasite would have made the book a more satisfying read.

This book is marketed for teenagers, but I would only recommend to older teens, it is definitely an adult book. There are a lot of references to sexual activity; there is nothing explicit in the book, just lots of suggestions.

This review is from: Peeps (Paperback)
When I finished reading I was a bit dissapointed with the character development. I felt that there was something left out or missing during the editing process. I really liked the character but I wanted more.
