Entertaining, engaging vampire novel from Russia, first of three. Definitely more comprehensible than the film! I liked this book- Anton, the narrator, is sympathetic and likable and I enjoyed following his adventures in the intrigue-filled world of vampire-Moscow. As someone who does not read a lot...
What a different and unique take on the world of the night!I watched this film many years ago and was not too impressed overall, but was still intrigued by the obviously very different way of telling a story and the unique world-building!And now, I finally got around to reading the book and I was no...
The buzz surrounding this one eluded me, but my roommate recommended it to me one night when I was floundering about looking for something to read. 'Night Watch' is a relatively light genre read, but with the added benefit of a foreign perspective that made it more than just another supernatural sto...

That was probably a good idea as it gave them a chance to do it properly witout skimming over too much. It was probably the best part of the...
Wow. This book SUCKED. Totally NOT AT ALL about vampires, which I thought it would be about. Also, after 450+ pages of plot twists, what's-going-ons, and double- & triple-crosses we find out that the most powerful "Other" in all of Russia did everything because he loves some chick who is trapped in ...
One of the bad things about having a book or movie come highly recommended to you is that your expectations are going to have a significant impact in what you take from it in the end. Night Watch was a book that came highly recommended to me, and it took me a while to finally get around to reading ...
