Vampire$

Summary: Interesting ideas, but...
Review: I picked up this book because I saw and liked the movie. The concept of a crew of workaday vampire killers and their specialized equipment intrigued me. I hoped there would be more of that in the book than there was in the movie, but I was disappointed.And what a tough read! Macho men and women as envisioned by a Sci Fi conventioneer. The painful chapter about the tragic heroine lifted from bad gothic romances was almost unreadable and killed whatever momentum the book had. More shallow than most comic books.Stick with the movie even though it falls apart towards the end. James Woods is terrific.

Summary: Book is better than the movie
Review: It's been a while since I read the book. In fact, I lost the book, couldn't remember the name or author and when I saw the movie recently, it fell into place. But, you're right, there was some stuff cut out(duh..like any book turned movie). Nonetheless, the movie wasn't all bad. But, the book is definitely action-packed. Didn't we see more of the Slayers at the beginning, the original team? I don't remember. I thought they killed everybody rather quickly in the movie. Maybe I'll read the book again.

Summary: Retarded
Review: I loved Steakley's book "Armour", which I read when young, and still think about. It was superb. Based on the strength of that book I bought this book the second it appeared in the book store.I was sorely disappointed. This book is simplistic, one-dimensional, and lame. I about flipped when I saw them make it into a movie; oh well, I guess all things Vampire are hot now. In conclusion; forget about this book, buy "Armour", you'll be happier in the end.

Summary: Vampire$ review
Review: I thought that this book was one of the best I've ever read! I have read many Anne Rice books about vampires, and heard that the movie for this book was awesome. I must say that this book is one that you can easily visualize the scenes as Steakley has them written, just reading the descriptions of the vampires deaths and such gave me the creeps! Awesome book. I'm about to start Armor now.

Summary: The book was a tad better then OK
Review: The most interesting characters in the book were the vampires ,although the reader gets only a small taste of the life the creatures lead.(Although the small portion of the book devoted to one vampires life is fantastic). Instead the pages focus on a bunch of human characters making alot of small talk and doing alot of thinking out loud. With six to eight characters going back and forth thinking and talking the pages are a jumbled mess, almost unreadable. Last but not least I don't care for inconsistencies. If a vampire can rip through steal like paper then he or she can certainly dirty there hands and dig a hole, they are not going to be forced to come out in the sunlight by a few knucklheads.

Summary: Loved the book Hated the movie
Review: I first read Vampire$ quite a few years ago when it first hit the stands. After the first time I read it I read it again. Soon the book was little more than a mangled mess. Which remindes me of the movie. If there was ever a book turned movie this one is further from the orignal story line than any other one ever done. Had the movie been true to the book, that would have been one bad a%# movie.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!
Review: Well, I'm not usually interested in vampire books due to the amount of other stuff out there, but this one blew me away! The action and the suspense are truly gripping!

Summary: Jack Crow is one bad-@$$ in the movie.
Review: I didn't read the book, but I saw the movie. Intense from start to finish...Decapitated heads, blood oozing everywhere and vampires going up in flames. Makes for a stomach turning hit!!! I tossed my cookies twice. Can't wait to read the book.Migs.
