The sex scenes are awful, but her falling for him makes a lot more sense. As I suspected watching the movie, there's a lot going on in the book that just didn't come across. Magda's isolation in caring for her father, Glenn's humanity (he's quite earthy in the book, not otherworldly at all), they actually have conversations. <br /><br />Also, I was hugely relieved to learn that he wasn't a vampire in the end! He was actually lying about every single detail, including a lot of the implied stuff, to convince them he was a vampire. I was totally fooled and really pleased to learn that he really was more of an ancient, unnameable evil after all. <br /><br />I don't know about the rest of the series, but the author has another book that looks clever; I'll at least read the Kindle sample.LibraryHungryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981967495068772927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9293137.post-80112680458616136042011-10-03T10:29:33.564-04:002011-10-03T10:29:33.564-04:00I can only comment on the movie version of this, b...I can only comment on the movie version of this, but I second the creepy sex. Why did this upstanding woman suddenly fall in love with this stranger? I get the compelled-by-his-mystical-blue-eyes explanation (that's traditional vampire, right?), but in that case, isn't it really the equivalent of him roofie-ing her? Shouldn't we consider him evil and not the hero? Weird. So sad that the promising beginning didn't pan out.Brenda Pikehttp://www.pragmaticenvironmentalism.comnoreply@blogger.com
