Fevre Dream Audiobook

" Really gripping! I loved Game of Thrones and have been curious about George RR Martin's other books. I was pleasantly surprised with this one, steampunk vampires ftw! Martin's talent for sculpting characters shines through as perfectly in this as it does in his 'Song of Fire and Ice' series. "

" Picked up this book because it was on a "10 books that should be made into movies" list that popped up when I signed out of hotmail. Had never heard of it, but it was at the local library so I signed it out. I would NEVER have chosen this book on my own. The genre, the plot, the title... none of these were in the least bit appealing. But once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. And I agree... could make a good movie. "

" Now THIS is a vampire story. "

" Good vampire novel. No sparkly teen vamps. Good characters and an interesting surroundings. "

" George R.R. Martin wrote a vampire novel?? I never knew...it struck me as Anne Rice meets Mark Twain...lots more about steamboats on the Mississippi and other rivers than I really needed to know. Lots of use of the "n" word because of the vernacular of the day and the nasty scummy characters need to use it to show just how horrible they are. Difficult word to keep reading, especially when the slaves or freedmen use it to describe every other person of color in the story. Oh well, I still enjoyed the premise and it was a well written character with some different takes on the vampire mythos. "

" As I said in a status update, very Martin. You really know what to expect in terms of style and detail if you've read anything by the man. "

" I'm finished this book and my review remains that "this is a story". It evoked no emotion good or bad. I'm read some fantasy tale about vampires and steam boats and I don't really didn't care. It's a book club book so I wanted finish it. "

" Ottima lettura, trama coinvolgente e personaggi di spessore...un classico quando leggi Martin. "

" Very good read! Enjoyed it "

" OK vampire story. Read it if you are fascinated by river boats and the mid 1800s along the Mississippi. The ending really drags on .... "

" A vampire novel from George R R Martin? Just what I thought. Good read. Great proposition...vampires getting tired of taking life to live. "

" Really good vampire novel using mid 19th century America as it's back drop. Some really scary and intense moments in the book give the horror novel a more classic feel then anything Stephen King ever wrote. "

" Not bad. I'm not a big fan of vampires But this isn't too corny or love struck teen focused. Pretty gritty and cool "

" A great vampire story all the way. Martin writes so well you'd think you were transported back to the 1870's and could see and smell the mighty river and it's steamboats. "
