Still, my two cents' worth: Enjoyable, but light-weight. The vampire elements won't seem terribly original to anybody who's read Stoker and Rice. The romance elements are a bit too overwrought (verging on hysterical) for my taste. I did enjoy the descriptions of Washington State. Also, the vampires' baseball game was clever, though I have the feeling I've come across something like it before, and I just can't think where--actually, I get that feeling about most of the book.

Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove Stephen Flynn, The Edge of Disaster (definitely *not* light reading) He's got a huge chip on his shoulder regarding the Coast Guard, but I'm only in Chapter 2. Gotta see if he'll lighten up a bit.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb The expanded version of The Stand is definitely worth the time. It ads so much depth and color to the the characters and their situations. RMM, I couldn't agree more about the Dan Brown books. I really enjoyed A&D but was completely annoyed by DC. He had enough going on for a story, why bog the book down with all the "accused of a murder he didn't commit" nonsense, with all the police chases that entails. It made the book a real chore to finish. Rereading Harry Potter to prepares for the new movie this Summer. Can't find Sorcerer's Stone, so I'm starting with Chamber of Secrets. Was reading Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis, but I think I burned out on SK after reading several of his books earlier this year. Shame too because I usually pick up The Stand this time of year and I think I missed the last year or 2.
Originally Posted By alexbook Okay, I got a copy from the library dated 1990, with "For the First Time Complete & Uncut" on the cover. Probably start it over the weekend. (I'm still working on "England, England," which is engrossing, but doesn't seem quite sure whether it's a comedy or not.)
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb That's the version you want Alex. I like how SK explains the expanded version as a car all tricked out with chrome, the origional is good but it ain't boss. I may actually have to read it again this Summer, but I'm not sure how I'll fit it AND Harry Potter with my LP and facebook time, lol.
