Review: Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story (Love Story, #1)Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story by Christopher Moore

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love a book with more then one genre going for it! And this book was vampire comedy mystery and love story all rolled together! I really enjoy Christopher Moore’s way of looking at things.

Book vs. Movie (another one)

.

Shutter Island (book)

I read Shutter Island a few months before it became a major motion picture. The book was slow to start but then it drew you in and gave you something to think about. This was not a skim it and read it quickly, this was a book to read in depth and pay attention to every word. For there is a nice big twist in the end. I really enjoyed the book by the end, and was quite happy I stuck it out through the first few slow chapters. So since the book was good, I thought I’d give he movie a chance too…

Shutter Island The Movie

The movie was not as bad as I had heard it was going to be. Well at least for me it was not. My husband watched it along with me not knowing the story line in which I was previe to having been that I read the book ahead of time. He felt the movie was ok but lacking in some thing. I could understand this from his point of view, but from mine it was well done for the time frame in which it could do a movie vs the book. Again as with Twilight, James Patterson, Steven King, Anne Rice, Percy Jackson, and yes even Harry Potter… The book still wins! I recommend reading it then watching it!

Looking forward to Water for Elephants, (book was great). Along with Let the right one in, and Girl with the Dragon Tattoos…and many more great books with good films to follow LOL.
