Rating: Summary: Fun, but unimaginatively mirrors Interview With the Vampire. Review: Though I enjoyed the read, Tom Holland needs to make his writing his own. This vampire story mirrored Interview. The characters were undeveloped, and it was a bit predicatable. The author does have a well developed tale, but hopefully future writings will be more original. For a first time book it was fairly enjoyable.
Rating: Summary: My Kind of Vampire Review: Well, being a huge Anne Rice fan and waiting for some new material to be released, I am always on the look out for something similar. In the past I have been dissappointed as well as bored to tears. This book I heard of from my friends English Professor, so I ordered it. I was so impressed with Holland's style and it flowed beautifully to my taste in wording. Byron could make anyone fall in love with him, fact or fiction. I am in the process of reading more of Holland's books, but I strongly reccomend this novel if you enjoy the darker side if literature, erotic and beautiful and still deliciously terrifying!My one pick is that in hindsight, the beginning was a bit slow compared to the terrific ending, but making for a steep climax, so beware heh!

Rating: Summary: Don't I Wish! Review: Where do I start? Where do I start? I suppose that I should explain the 'Don't I Wish!' It refers to several things in fact--foremost I wish that I had been made a Vampyre in that fashion, for it would have been far preferable to the actual event, which I shall not disclose here and now, but sometime soon. I give you my word.--don't I wish that I were the 'Lord of the Dead' as even the title proclaims, but eheu! instead I sit brooding over the fact that I haven't even the power to find and destroy one fellow Vardoulacha or to save another. Personally, I found the book a delightful piece of fantasy, and would that I could be its rascally main character, rather than the deplorable, blind leech that sits writing this.--N.B
