    “I personally don't like books that are too simple to read or that do not have enough characters. They just don't inspire the imagination.”

    “I personally liked Queen of the damned, the movie did not do it any justice. The movie was actually to short for what was in the book. There was a number of story lines through out the story.”

    “Agonyandectasie- says she didn't like this book because there was too much going on.

    This is one of the reasons I liked it. I love the story and the fact that there was a lot going on in the lives of the vampires. The queen is marvelously strong and evil. Oh the loss...

    I just love long, indepth and involved stories.

    I have to say my least favorite was Pandora. This because there wasn't much going on with this story and so it was a short read.”
