2.0 out of 5 stars
A real snorer, Dec 14 2002
By Carrie Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vampire in Moscow (Paperback)
I picked this novel up when it first came out many years ago, and never got around to reading it. While in the process of cataloging my library I decided to read anything on my shelf that I had overlooked before. Having read the reviews here before I started I have to say that I was very disappointed. The book tends to expound upon useless details like where razors and coffe pots came from, and had primarily one dimensional characters. The title had me clued in to expecting a run of the mill vamp in Moscow. The novel, however, sets you up to expect the antichrist, a being of pure evil and unbelievable power that rises once every thousand years. That really got me going, until you ended up getting a pretty basic non-antichrist-like vampire. For me, there was no suspense, the action was very few and far between. Overall, I'd have to praise the book for how detailed it is in it's portrayal of Soviet life, but that's all. The book wasn't scary or suspensful in the slightest. Look somewhere else for a good vampire book.

A very captavating and intruiging book., July 21 1999

I was very hooked on this book, and I could not put it down. The discription of the visions were detailed, that I was inspired to read on, I am sure to look for more books by Richard Henrick, in future times. All though this book was good, I would have to say it was more of an adult book.
