An oldie but a goodie,
By Vee Cee (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vampires among Us (Paperback)
For all types of vampire enthusiasts and of other creatures who walk among us, this book is a guilty pleasure, and oldie, but also a goodie. Can't find my copy, but it's around home somewhere. Let me know if you have extra hanging around!

very entertaining--a great read!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vampires Among Us (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book and hard a hard time putting it down. The stories are great and Ms. Guiley is a good story-teller. There are some strange people out there, and this book is an interesting look at them. Plus, I learned a lot about vampire folklore, which was really fascinating. Well-written, fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars
it's a fairly good book.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vampires Among Us (Paperback)
Vampires Among Us had a romantic quality to it which the person who wrote a review for it previous ot mine didn't seem to comprehend. Let me also point out that almost anything melodramatic can be made to sound foolish. Think about it - the line "Oh Romeo o Romeo where for art thou Romeo" sounds utterly rediculous when spoken alone. However, Romeo and Juliet is a time-honored tragedy.Vampires Among Us was written in a factual if slightly dramatic voice - however, the intensity of the writing was probably necessary to make something that sounds like such a foolish thing into an alternate reality. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Not bad ... just outdated,
By Nathan Brown "NatRBrown" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vampires Among Us (Paperback)
Let me start by saying that my rating of this book has nothing to do with how it is written. It is, in my opinion, a rather well written documentary-styled work of narrative nonfiction. I first read this book roughly 15 years ago, and reread it just recently. I enjoyed it both times.That being said, Guiley REALLY needs to update this particular work in a new edition...or at least publish an updated follow up of some kind. A lot of the info is far too dated, especially considering how perceptions of vampires have DRASTICALLY changed in just the last decade. Like I said ... this is NOT a BAD book ... in fact, I would recommend it ... I just feel that the content is too out of date to receive more than 3 stars. |
