Flashbacks to how Thomas became a vampire and interactions he has had with humans and other vampires in the past are inserted throughout the story as well.
As for the plot, it was entertaining and intriguing. The characters are varied, and there are several unexpected plot twists. This book, because of its unusual writing style and shorter length, may be especially good for teenagers who are reluctant readers.
