5.0�toiles sur 5 Incredible Achievement, Janv. 3 2004

Par	William M Miller (Bronxville, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Just when you thought all the vampire stories have been told and there is no longer any original work to be done in the genre, along comes T.M. Wright to prove you wrong. This a wonderfully dark story with fascinating characters you care about. T.M.'s emphasis is on atmosphere and less on graphic violence and gore (although he has that, too). This author writes for an intelligent audience by not spelling out everything for the reader. You have to read between the lines in many scenes. I became swept up in this novel and finished it in 2 days. If you are tired of the same old vampire story, give this breath of fresh air a try. You won't be disappointed.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Mondo Bizarro, Juil 15 2003

Par	Jon Weber (IL, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Mondo Bizarro is one of the ways Elmo Land's is described at the end of the book. In fact, this entire book could be summed up in these two words. For most of the book I could only picture Elmo Land as a Forrest Gump type speaking in the voice of HAL from 2001, A Space Odyssey.

The book attempts to describe the world through Elmo Land's eyes in a post apoctoliptic time. Is he really a Vampire? Other than living for about 150 years, he could just as well have been a Hannibal Lecter, taking away all of the intelligence. Elmo's thought process is followed throughout the book as seen by the ongoing, disconnected thought pattern, as well as the continual repetition of text. This was entertaining for a while, but I could barely wait for the book to be finished. I got so bored with it after a while, the constant rambling, the repetition, the ignorance, and stupidity.

As a real Vampire novel, I'd say to skip this one. If you're into horror, then this will be a good one to pick up since, for what it is, it is well crafted and delivered in a unique and imaginative way.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Utterly unpredictable, F�v 21 2003

Par	Garry Messick (Boynton Beach, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

The rather pedestrian title and cover of this book are very misleading. They in no way convey the utter originality within. In terms of both style and content, this is like no vampire tale you've ever read. This beautifully written bit of strangeness is totally engaging if a but puzzling at times. Like Gene Wolfe, Wright expects you to be smart enough to pick up on a few things without his having to spell them out. For those who prize intelligence and originality in fiction, The Last Vampire is a real treat.
