Summary: I loved this book it was spooky but wonderful!!!!!!!
Review: John Steakly may very well be the most interesting author that ever lived to think of such a compelling horror story and be able to put it into words makes that author very good. I saw the movie and loved it also, I have not read any other John Steakly books but definetly plan on it in the future. John thought of this book very well, and where did he come up with some of those names, there sweet, but weird. So i highly recomend this book to you if you like books with vampires it may very well be the best vampire book ever made. read it under your own risk though, it's scary!

Summary: If you liked the movies you'll love the book.
Review: Sometime after I see a good movie I'll read the book to see if it adds something the movie missed or as in this case is better. I enjoyed the characters of Jack Crow and Felix, the balls to the wall vampire hunter and the old west gunfighter, kind of the new to the old twist. The book makes the vampires out to be more the monsters they are then in old movies and that heroes can have bad days too and don't always win over evil.

Summary: GREAT BOOK, NIT-PICKY FLAWS
Review: Vampires, by john steakley, is a great book with little things that could have made it something incredibly fantastic. First off, it's nothing like the movie, except for the first chapter or so. So dont start looking for similarities. It's actually better than the movie. If the movie had been just like this, it would definitly have gotton a lot further. The book has some great characters. my favorites have got to be Crow,for being tough as nails. Davette, for being a so heartwarming, and Felix, just cause he was so unusual. This book has some great action scenes that are greatly detailed and wisely written. It also has one 50 page chapter that just feel so erotic at first then makes you feel so frail. But you can FEEL it. It's great! My only gripe with this was that the characterization could have been just a little more detailed. I also would have liked the final battle scene with the master vampire to have been longer and more intricate than just 2 pages. Overall, this book ROCKS!!! I would definitely recommend it to fans of vampires or those into dark and violent sci-fi fantasy, like myself. If you fit that catagorie, THEN BUY THIS NOW!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT, I GUARANTEE YOU!!!

Summary: Needs new plot.
Review: Maybe its me, but when I read "Armor" I was very impressed, but I think Mr. Steakley needs to find some new caracters and names for his Heroes. Vampires$ was slow, spent to much time telling us how the vampire killers blew off steam and if "Felix" got anymore depressing it would have done us all a favor if the Vampire would have killed him. WHY would Vampires be in Texas, for the steers. Please. Write more like "Armor" but stay away from vampires. oh yah the movie SUCKED and I love John Carpenter.

Summary: A good reiteration of a vampire roleplay campaign.
Review: First: Unique, original text that is NOT a clone of other Vampire books/flicks. Second: Nothing like the Movie, which is good. Third: It seems like a someone wrote it as if he took it from there roleplaying campaign. Could of been edited better. Fourth: A must read if your into the Vampire Genre

Summary: John Steakley Owes Me
Review: I took a couple of days off work after Christmas to get some work done around the house and play with my kids. Instead, I sat in a chair and did NOTHING until this pulse-pounding book was finished. If you're looking for introspective vampire angst and mush (a la "Interview With a Vampire") this isn't for you. But if you like a good gory vampire story with some great, well written characters, dive in. But don't make any other immediate plans....

Summary: GREAT!!!
Review: I don't know what the rest of you thought of this book but I loved it. It was one of those books that draws you in and doesn't let go. You think just another chapter and before you know it its four am and time to go to school. READ IT. ITS GREAT.

Summary: A VERY cool and different look at vampires
Review: A Vampire/Modern-Day Western/Thriller extreme, this is one of the coolest vampire books I've read since the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. This isn't vampires moping and complaining about living forever, this is vampires in the tradition of From Dusk Till Dawn-sick, evil, malevolent creatures who need to eradicated. While the movie is good-James Woods IS Jack Crow, HANDS DOWN, its a totally different plotline, while the first 30 minutes could have been taken almost completely from the novel, and is incidentally the best section of the film, I would love to see another film/miniseries based totally on the novel. All in all, I myself have thanked Mr. Steakley for his amazing book, lets hope Felix and Co. come back again.
