Late 90s, there were so few vampire books. Well not a lot of choices in general. So for me at that time, it was great, and highly memorable that even up to now, I still love it.. I still had my old copies and even bought the new ones...<br /><br />In this generation however, after twilight series and hundreds of other vampire books, it will be kind of hard to love the series. People got used to sexy vampires. Vampire books are more enclined to romance.<br /><br />And there is definitely not alot of romance in the Last Vampire series... But the action is packed, the twists are totally at a deeper level than most vampire books... And i have read alot of the books out there...<br /><br />Yeah the Krishna thing will kind blow you off since its not a topic that everyone knows about.. A lot of it actually made sense, coming from a christian point of view.<br /><br />What im trying to say is, how we perceive things can be greatly affected by the things around us, media and culture.<br /><br />Im sad this book is not selling as it should in its reprint because its such a great book, but the timing might not be right and Alisa might just not be people's cup of tea these days....especially the teenagers who is the audience bulk of alot of vampire novels.<br /><br />In conclusion, im still hoping people will like it! Thirst 3 is really good, so you guys who are still reading it, finish it.. lol!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675944579693820400.post-2416923740206979462010-11-03T12:50:57.207-07:002010-11-03T12:50:57.207-07:00This is still way more interesting than reading ab...This is still way more interesting than reading about vampires that go all glittery in daylight.

The mythology really threw me but I think the pros outweighed the cons. Sorry you couldn't finish it. I hate when I come across books that make me feel that way.Nikki @ Bookizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237606793752864517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675944579693820400.post-12613030418338863532010-01-19T17:38:23.568-08:002010-01-19T17:38:23.568-08:00Fantastic review!Fantastic review!Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675944579693820400.post-53570668241548051782010-01-19T17:26:00.513-08:002010-01-19T17:26:00.513-08:00Ug, glad you liked it.
