One star is being to kind...., Juil 19 2002
I love reading vampire books. Just love to. When I saw the cover at a used bookstore, I had to buy it. I loved the cover. That's about all I loved about this book. "The House of Caine" would have made a better short story. This book is 501 pages, it's about 480 pages to long. This would have made a much better short story. Heck, the vampire isn't really mentioned until about page 400. And this is a vampire novel?? One problem that the reader will face is that most is the book isn't nessessary to read. So much space (and time the reader gives this book) is wasted.Here's the "plot".Robert Martin comes back home, only to find out that he isn't welcome. His family has a secret that everyone knows about (but Robert) but never really mentions until the end of the book. Robert has to interview Robert Kennedy. He stops over in the town where he grew up, "just passing through." Here his friend who he's traveling with, is missing. Robert has to solve the mystery of his friend, and face the sins of his family. When he does this, it leads him to a vampire. Like I said, this would have been a wonderful short story. The "plot" with RFK has nothing to do with the story. For that matter, most of the book has nothing to do with the plot. Eulo seems to make a lot of references to Vietman...but it has nothing to do do with the "plot". A lot of space is used for this book, and not a lot is being said. Take my advise...don't read this book. It's not really worth it. I kept on saying to myself that "this has to get better", well, it doesen't. Normally I saw that when I read a book that I dont' really like, get it at a used bookstore, so you won't pay so much. In the case of "The House of Caine", dont' even look for it at a used bookstore. If I could, I'd given this 0 stars.
