Fangland: A Novel Audiobook

" Have you read Stoker's Dracula? Then don't bother with this inferior novel. "

" I hated this book. I understand that the author was trying to give a new perspective on vampires, but honestly? A vampire that has been around for centuries and seen all different kinds of massacre and death, has to use a bucket for blood drinking? You would think he would've figured out something a bit more sophisticated than that. There are characters that are brought into the story that are never explained or expanded upon. Can someone please tell what was with the Greek brothers that Torgu had in his hotel? This story seemed choppy at best. Nothing is ever fully explained and none of it flows very well. The author jumped perspectives, which is normally good to bring the story more detail but why change the perspective if you aren't going to say anything worthwhile. I was very disappointed and would not recommend this book at all. "

" What a disappointment! The pacing left a lot to be desired, for all the suspense that Marks was trying to create, I left feeling like not much really happened. I get what he was trying to do with the different points of view and journal/email/first person formats, but there wasn't enough grounding in each point of view character to make me care about what they had to say. Also, some wildly inefficient use of language- I don't need two long sentences about a pashmina scarf to get that a character is scared. "

" My overall review of this is "Eh". It basically felt like a more modern retelling of the classic Dracula story. I actually put the book away after a while and didn't finish...which is something I very rarely do. Stick with other vampire books if you're looking for a blood-sucking good time. "

" This book was one of the best adaptations of Dracula I've ever read. Mr. Marks did a great job of transferring the story successfully into a contemporary timeline. It seemed like all the characters were there - right down to creepy little Renfield. "

" This book is crap. "

" A creepy, intellectual modernization of the Dracula story. "

" I thought this was actually and interesting twist on the vampire tale, but it wasn't very well executed. "

" Middelmatige Dracula adaptatie. Gelijkende stijl met veel brieven en dagboeken. Setting: amerikaanse nieuwszender. Begint sterk maar verliest na een derde ongeveer zijn vaart. Naar het einde toe bijzonder vaag. En bij momenten ongepast vulgair. Afrader. "

" Despite a couple of plot holes, it's a pretty entertaining twist on vampire lore. "

" This was a pretty good book until the very end. I've never read a vampire book that turned out not to really be a vampire book. But it was a good read other than that. "

" It is an okay book as far as vampire novels go. At least it is not as hokey as Twilight. There are some scary scenes but I had a hard time enjoying it because it is just another vampire novel. It is not as good as 'Let the Right One In' or 'Salemn's Lot.' "

" vampires and 60 Minutes-like tv folks--some fresh blood for the old gothic theme "

" This is a new take on the Dracula myth and boy, did it stink. I had high hopes for this one after reading the inside jacket, but I was never able to connect with the main characters and the plot was just too boring after the first couple of chapters. Major disappointment. "

" Not a vampire novel. Attempts to 'contemporize' Bram Stoker's original and does that in many ways. Sadly, the novel just falls a little flat. "

" Starts off great, falls apart in the end. Its as if it was written by two different writers? "

" This book has me holding my breath, and yearning to continue. I'll let you know if I really enjoy it once it's completed... "

" This started out really well. An interesting play on the Dracula story, but as it went on, I lost interest. It was kind of difficult to go back and finish it. "
