Summary: I liked it, is there going to be another? More with felix?
Review: I read this book awhile back and enjoyed it. For some I can see how it lost it's flare though. It took some time to get into and the story line was hard to follow at times. But once you found that line it was had to put down. My favorite caraters were Felix and Davette (I don't know how to spell it and I am not going to go look for the book). All in all it was a good book, and killed the movie they are not close. The storys are totally different.

Summary: Interesting take on the mythology of Vampire$
Review: After being shaken to my very core by "Armor", I ran to the book store to find anything by John Steakly. At the third one I finally found Vampire$. While not nearly as intense or gripping, this book merits reading. Incidentally, the movie unforgivably omits the character Felix. Anyone who knows Steakly's work intimately couldn't do such a thing. The idea of vampire hunters for hire is a novel one and Jack Crow comes off like Abraham Van Helsing in a steroid rage. The role of Felix was made for Gary Oldman, an emotionally crippled killer with a dead on shot. I liked the idea that these guys listen to SRV. The dialogue is stardard Steakly; Hemingway influenced, stream of consciousness banter that is very real sounding. Kind of like sitting in an empty bar in the afternoon, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, listening to a great storyteller spin a yarn you half believe and half don't want to. Besides the names of the main characters, another thread tying Steakly's books together is the emotion he conveys in his writing. The emotional level in his books reaches high levels, you really feel for the characters, even if you don't like them. I definitely recommend this book if you like vampire stories, and who does'nt. While not as fully fleshed out as the very gothic works of Anne Rice or Brian Lumley's British Necroscope, the American twist on the vampire theme is interesting. In a way, this is the definitive American vampire story. And whether you liked Vampire$ or not, for God's sake read "Armor". Long live Felix.

Summary: It Started Out Pretty Good.....
Review: than it got real boring. I thought the movie was a great B movie romp but the book was terrible. With about 70 pages to go I decided I could not take it anymore and gently placed it into the garbage can.

Summary: Just when I 'd gotten tired of vampires being the bad guys..
Review: This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Even the fringe characters are three dimensional. The vampires are perfectly written to be the bad guys. They are Evil incarnate with a capital E...perfect villains. The heroes are tired, gritty, resigned to their destinies, and, more importantly, real. If you are looking for soul-jarring, bone-crushing, good-old-fashioned Good verses Evil, read this. PS The book is nothing like the movie; it has merit.

Summary: Spot on with twist and turn faster than lightning
Review: This book was great, I read it after watching the film which was good as the film had no bearing on the book, if you like the book watch the film but do not envisage it as the same, there are characters in this book who stand out like Felix and they left him out of the film. all in all a top class book

Summary: its been a long time
Review: its been quite a long time since i read the book "VAMPIRE$", so i can not quite remember the storyline, but i do remember that i liked it very much...what brings me here, is that i started watching a movie, and it started out like the book did, and i was thinking "this seems so familiar" and then the vampire says "jack crow" and i automatically remembered the book...so is the movie (which is currently a new release in video stores) based on this book? just wondering :)

Summary: Loved the book and plot, but hated the ending
Review: Alright...i've read this book five times now <and counting>. I love the plot. Jack Crow is a grand hero and taking him in with the rest of the team there could have been a winning series here. (especially the hint of werewolves hehe) The movie with James Woods is good, also, but it is NOT the book. The basic concept is there but that is it (and thats sketchy) I personally feel (along with one of my best friends) that the ending cheated us out of a toatlly wonderful book. I do love it but...but but but...the ENDING could have been handled so much better. The author seems to have gotten bored with his own story and twisted it so it would end.
