Book Reviews of The Space Vampires
Book Review: Quite Readable and Enjoyable Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this book! Interesting characters, strong ideas and a bit of sex.
The one thing that really bugged me was the author's extremely repetitive usage of the form "__ said:" (Carlsen said:, Fallada said:, etc. I wish I could search the book to see how many said:s there are!)
Still, it is a lot more interesting than the movie Lifeforce, which I also like.
Time to have a whiskey!
Book Review: The movie was far superior.
Summary: 2 Stars
I just finished reading this novel and I was mostly disappointed; the movie was a vast improvement over this book. The characters were under-developed and bland, the so-called vampires were never really menacing - the Earth was never in any real danger. For what it was and the time frame from which it came - it was good but would never have adapted for the big screen as it was. Many called the book "sexy" - yes, in a Victorian, chaste sort of way.
I just could not "feel" for any of the characters - live or die - who cared?
If you are considering buying this book - remember, it is not a novelization of the movie but an almost completely different story.
