OMG! Th...<B>Paz</B>: What do you mean, 'stopped reading'?? OMG! That to me is like saying you stopped breathing. ;-) You should definitely check out this book, it is such an original and intriguing vampire story. It was published in the UK last year, paperback edition out this spring ... so I'm sure it'll be possible to find in Ireland too. If you do read it, you've got to tell me what you think ... !!! :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and don't listen to findabair - she's usually spot on about books, but in this case she's just totally wrong ... !! ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>findabair</B>: you shouldn't see this movie. ;-) Some of the worst gore has been written out (like the scene where Eli's found sleeping in the bathtub - in the movie she's just sleeping peacefully in a nest of sheets and what not) but overall, they have kept a great many of the elements that you didn't like. So ... save your money, definitely. ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Truand</B>: in almost all cases the book is better than the movie. But I absolutely don't think this movie sucks. Not at all. I like it, I think it's very well worth seeing. For those who like that kind of thing. ;-) But it's just that this book, IMO, is SO brilliant ... ! I mean, I read at about a hundred books a year. If not more. And that year - this was 2006 - this book was in my top five. If not top three. So my expectations, even though I tried to keep them down, were so high when it came to the movie. It didn't quite live up to them, but it was a really good movie.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the book has been published in French, at least not yet. I can't find it at amazon.fr. Good luck though. :-)As I said, it is available in English, at least. :-) Again, if you do read it, I'd love to hear what you think.Leisha Camdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768409807832229050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275768344368542415.post-65878203523085513272008-10-07T20:50:00.000+02:002008-10-07T20:50:00.000+02:00adaptations suck almost always.this might be my ne...adaptations suck almost always.<BR/><BR/>this might be my next reading if I find it in french.
