هي أقرب لكوميك من قصة في كتاب ، عادية لكنها شيقة تحدث عن جو الباحث عن عمل واللاعب لكرة القدم الذي يجد عملا لدى بروفيسور بأن يساعده في اصطياد مصاص الدماء ويلتقيان بفتاة تكون هي مصاصة الدماء لكن دون معرفة ذلك في نهاية تحاول قتلهما ولكن لان الشمس خرجت فحالت عن ذلك

The book that I have read is called "The Vampire Killer" For me this book is very interesting and I hope many people will like it. And the summary is a man find a job and he needs money. The job is a vampire killer. I like this book because I like to read and watch movie about the vampire. I suggest you to read it. And this is quite a short story. I am sure you will understand easier because it's had pictures too. It has nice covers. I read it about 2 days. I like the way the author says.

This is a really good book for beginners who are starting o study english. It is a "Starter", from Oxford Bookworms Library, and has lots of illustrations to help the reader understand the story.
The illustrations are somewhat funny, and I liked that. I just think the ending could had been different.

I like the book. Easy to read, not too long and with lots of pictures. Good for new English learners.

It would be great if more English learners write about books they have read.

Thanks Annas for the book
