This book is written as a fictional biography. Jamie Sommers has been abused both as a child and an adult. The story skips around from his encounters with a vampire, to his life as a sailor on the sea, to being held in two sanitariums, and being terrified of the night, to his child hood, and back to the relationship he devolopes with the now reformed vampire. I thought the book was good, if slow moving. It was unlike any book I've read before. I know it was written in a biographical style, birth life and death, but as a reader I just kept hoping Jamie's life would get better. Then he dies just before the end of the book. I thought Hawkes Harbor was interesting. It was strange and different, but it was interesting. Does this review help?
