This book is creepy without being too explicit. I couldn't sleep for days when reading this book.I was confused at first, when the story switches from one time to another and another.The book has almost everything I want from a story: the mystery, the historical facts, the traveling parts (Istanbul ...

This book was really kind of lame. It was entertaining enough, and it was certainly better than listening to the news of how our American Congress can't seem to get its act together and work together like everyone else on the planet has to do with their co-workers, but I digress. The book was a go...

It's a pretty interesting tale, told by extracts from a series of contributor's diaries. But it looses something in the style. Although there are 5 main characters who tell this story, they all sound the same, there's no personality in their text. It also makes the story a little disjointed at times...

This book is impossible to resist. It has fairly leapt to the top shelf, where it's nestled down deep with my all time favourites.

Fantastic book which is full of suspense. The author writes this book in a very clever way, its not until the end of the book that you realised that at no point you know what the main character's name is!

I'm torn on this book. I enjoyed reading it - it moved along quickly, had an interesting plot. Things kept bothering me, though - for one thing, I didn't think much of the psychiatrist - and since he was in some ways the main character, there was no escaping this. Had he no concept at all of ethic...

Some stories are a journey, you read to a rising plot to see how it all works out. Other are all about the journey and the end of the book marks the beginning of your imagination.The story moves quite slow and has a subtle suspense that unfolds the search for Dracula. I found the book quite interest...
