Sandy, I tried to read The Historian but couldn't get into it - maybe I should've tried a little harder...

It's definitely a twist on Dracula.. My nursing team did a group read and 5 of us really liked it and the other two did not care for it at all.

The pace of the book was just so deadly - in the first 20 pages she described every detail of every scene and it just bored me to tears. I'm probably in the minority though since so many people loved this book.

I agree! It was the same for me!

Autumn, have you read Smilla's Sense of Snow? It should be the type of book that you'd like.

no, I only watched the movie! It seems like I already checked it out but was unable to get into it. Did you like it?

I loved it! One of the most suspenseful books I've ever read plus the setting of the story in frigid Denmark and Greenland made for a great atmosphere.

The Eight one of my all time faves that should keep you turning the pages.
