Reading this book in the 6th grade left me awed. Reading it now leaves me bored. The highlights of "The Last Vampire" are when Alisa dips into her past and tells of her family and life as both a human and a vampire. However, the present day (which most of the book is) is one long ego trip. Alisa continually goes on about how great she looks, how cool she is, her unique abilities, her power to seduce, and drags on about this. It is very annoying. I would have to recommend not getting this book unless you like narcisstic vampires and can't afford sleeping pills.

Best vampire story ever. Sure, some might argue that some of our blood-sucking heroine's feats are ridiculously far-fetched, but c'mon, it's fiction. I just like that the plot is really fast-paced, engaging, and has a solid foundation. Pike's interpretation of the vampire makes more sense than some other vampire characters. Plus, she could probably kick their butts. The Last Vampire rules!

Sita, the main character of the book is a 5,000-year-old vampire, who looks 20, and believes she is the last vampire. Sita goes by many names but chooses the name of Alisa Perne as she walks among the humans on Earth. She soon realizes that she is being hunted by someone who knows what she is. She thinks it might be the client of a detective she killed in self-defense. The detective had found out her secret and was a threat.
To figure out who is hunting her, she goes to high school and makes friends with the detective's shy son Ray and then falls in love with him.
She begins to think Ray is actually her old love Rama reincarnated.
Another person from her past, her old enemy Yaksha, is actually following her, trying to kill her to atone for his sins. Yaksha is her creator and the most powerful Vampire ever. Sita was led to believe that she had killed him long ago.
Then there's Seymore. Seymore is a student who wants to become a vampire, after he figures out Sita's secret.
Can Sita and Ray be together and be happy? What will happen when Sita meets up with Yaksha after all these years? Will Seymore become a vampire? Can Sita ever be free of her past? Read The Last Vampire to find out!
I especially liked...
The way Sita was made to be just a regular person with hopes and dreams and feelings just like us. Not All moody and dark like other vamp novels.
I didn't like...
There was nothing that I did not like about this book.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
To write the author and tell him to make some more about this wonderful character
This Book made me feel...
Very upbeat and pumped up with adrenaline.
The author of this Book...
Christopher Pike: is one of my favorites even thought he writes books for teens I have tried to keep up with his books as an adult.
I recommend this Book because...
It is a good read with all the makings of a movie. The romance did not outwiegh the suspense and the action.
Further Comments...
I was so glad to find out that he made 5 more books in this series and the 2nd was just as good if not better than the 1st.

I read The Last Vampire series when i was 13, which i am now 22, and the story still affects me today. I have to say that this series is still a favorite of mine, and I remember that when i finished the last book I felt an emptyness for it being over, so I read it again. Sita goes through things that no vampire in any other story has gone through (I dont want to ruin it), and it is an emotional ride. Read this series and you will never forget it!

The Last Vampire is a good horror novel, but fails to draw you in completely. The main character, Alisa Perne, or Sita, is a stunning, petite blonde who has lived as a wandering vampire for five thousand years. It gets tiring hearing her talk about how beautiful she is, and how she knows men love to look at her body. It is also tiring as she lists endless super-human traits she owns that make her invincible. Pike seems like he just couldn't stop listing abilities. His writing is flawed in places.
What makes this story interesting is that Pike has removed the setting from Transylvania to a place no one associates with vampires - India. And he works in Krishna as a character. You know - the blue dude with the flute whom Hare Krishas worship.
I will read the rest of the series, but Pike has failed in creating a heroine that readers can relate to and root for. I get tired of all the men eating out of her hand.
