I did too! It was so good. I couldn't put it down either. I have heard that the are coming out with a new book shortly.
I hope the new book covers stuff that wasn't on the TV show. The last half of the first book was straight from TV. Was still worth reading, but I want some new stuff.
lol ya if i wanted to hear stories from the show i would watch the show not read the book lol
Even though the last half of the book covered what the tv show did, it was still good. The first part was from way back before the show but you also got a lot of insight into things you might not have otherwise. The new book should be interesting.

Ohh yea, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the last half of the book as well. I just liked the first half better. WOW with the haunted apartment building.
sweet im looking forward to reading both of them
Anyone read, "The Historian"? Good book.
i havent what is it about???
It ia about the search for the elusive Vlad Ţepeş, the historical Dracula.
The novel is presented as 1st-person account written in the year 2008. The narrator (Familia named after her grandmother) is a historian whose father, Paul, unwittingly ended up searching for the vampiric Vlad Ţepeş. Although the narrator's adventures begin in 1972, there are three distinct storylines narrated in parallel, alternating chapters:
The narrator's actions in 1972/1973 when at the age of sixteen, she began to travel with her father through parts of Europe and, later, from Amsterdam to Southern France with an undergraduate from Oxford, Stephen Barley.
Paul's travels during the 1950s, when as a graduate student, he travelled (initially) to Istanbul then to Budapest and then parts of Eastern Europe in search of his mentor, Professor Bartholomew Rossi, who may or may not have been kidnapped.
Professor Rossi's own travels in Eastern Europe during 1930.
All of the story is told through letters, excerpts from books and academic literature, and above all, the narrator's reconstructions of stories told to her by her father. Details of the plot and of Dracula's nature, motives, and history are slowly revealed.
The book has numerous settings all across Europe, many of which are complicated by Cold War tensions after World War II, the period when much of the action occurs.
This book has won many awards and has been published in 28 languages. All in all, I thought this book was absolutley fantastic.
