(I first read the third book in this trilogy when I was a teenager and loved it. I read the first one too, but my library didn't have the second. Now, thanks to Amazon used books I have them all and I finally read the whole series in order.)
Oh man, I read this book so many times. Reading it again was fun, but I can't help but think of Anna Valerious's wisdom from the cinema feast that is Van Helsing: "I think if you're going to kill somebody, do it. Don't stand there talking about it!" Maybe if Bobby had heeded that advise he would have succeeded.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Bobby Whimper!
