Entertaining but flawed
Unusually, this is a book that I’d rate about on par with the film adaptation. As with the film, this is an entertaining read and fairly well written. The basic plot is the same although there have been a few tweaks made for the film - some better, some worse. I much prefer the ending in the book to the film, it’s a little more depressing and a lot less Hollywood (unsurprisingly). I don’t really have much to say about this book, it’s a quick read and quite good, and plods along at a fairly decent rate, it’s just nothing massively special.

I am a big fan of the Steve Alten book series of the Meg. Now....when it comes to the movie....it was....entertaining at most. I saw it in 3D so maybe that’s why. Special effects were okay....nothing spectacular. I do feel that maybe if the movie were casted differently....my rating may be a little different. Wasn’t a big fan of the acting (if that is what we can call it)....

I felt this book was a bit of a let down. I couldn't get into it for the longest time at all until a little over half way through it. Even then, I wasn't *that* into it.

I also couldn't relate to any of the characters. Mary was too much of a stereotypical goth which really annoyed me. Stereotypes in books drive me crazy especially goth ones. I didn't care what happened to Mary or anyone really.

The plot was a bit boring...trying to get rid of an evil ghost. Even the ending was a bit sudden and disappointing.

This book was just okay. Nothing special. I won't be reading the next book in the series.

Interview with the vampire Claudia’s Story!
Graphic Novel
An Adaptation by Ashley Marie Witter of the book by Anne Rice
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A richly-illustrated adaptation of Anne Rice's INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, told through the eyes of the vampire Claudia, who was just a little girl when she was turned by the vampire Lestat. Though she spends many years of happiness with her two vampire fathers, she gradually grows discontent with their insistence upon treating her like a little girl, even though she has lived as long as any mortal man...and her lust to kill is certainly no less than theirs...

This was such a beautiful graphic novel! Interview with the vampire is one of my favourite books so to see this side of Claudia story so beautifully illustrated was just special. Stunning book.
