Rating: Summary: To sum it up in one word... AWESOME!!! Review: Hill's outstanding use of diction breathes life into his characters! The way he describes them and their feelings have you believing that you actually know them personally and understand the way they feel. He brings your imagination to life with "Dawn of the Vampire", painting a detailed picture of the scenery in your mind's eye. He grips your attention and continues to hold onto it tightly with both hands not letting go until the novel is completed. Unable to put the book down I was drained when I finished it, but only because it takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, touching on every feeling one can have, including fear,happiness and even love! This book has inspired me to read other works from William Hill, as well as pray that a "Dawn of the Vampire" sequel is written by Hill. In my opinion, it would make one heck of a movie. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the horror genre. Well done William Hill, Bravo!!!
Rating: Summary: Awful! Review: I had to stop reading after the 1st quarter of the book. Went to the finish to see that it ended as poorly as it began. What the publishers were thinking about when they put this out confounds me. It reads like a (not very good) first draft that was never passed by an editor.
Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: I read this about 2 years ago and thought it to be a wonderful book. Its great for any horror or vampire fan.

Rating: Summary: i loved it Review: i think this book was great it had a lot of heart in it. i want to know if there was a real town under there.
Rating: Summary: What a waste of time Review: I will never get the time I spent reading this book back. It is GONE GONE GONE. Mind you, cheesy writing with one dimensional characters is not a crime, but this book could set a precedent. Creating a gang of friends just so that you can kill, maime, and injure them in various ways is a cheap way to gain emotional response from the readers. Of course, we the readers could care less since the characters were never really developed properly. Dawn of the Vampire is bad on so many levels, it seems unfair to actually get too detailed in reviewing it. I can only give a warning and wonder if all those glowing rave reviews are only a trick to sucker others the way I have been suckered. If only there were negative stars.
Rating: Summary: I thought the book was excellent Review: Living in the Tri-cities area of East Tn. it was amazing to find a book actually set here. Mr. Hill is very vivid in his description of the Appalachian Mountains and South Holston Lake; and having grown up in both I can honestly say that it was hard to venture out after dark for a while after reading his book.The characters really come alive. Mr. Hill does a great job of bringing out the little details that make an image form in your head. All and all I'd have to recommend the book to anyone who enjoys the creatures of the dark and secretly wishes they could join them.
Rating: Summary: I live on S.Holston Lake Review: My aunt told me about this book and I had to read it being the horror fan I am. The more I read the more it freaked me out because I know every place that was menchioned where I live on South Holston Lake and never the less I get a creepy feeling when me and my friends are out on jet ski around those places. Anyway it was a wonderful book.
