Some of the characters are great -- they've kept Lafayette who is my favorite.Karenlibrarianhttp://karensbooksandchocolate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-18375531660309046912010-06-30T11:46:17.504-04:002010-06-30T11:46:17.504-04:00I had started reading these and enjoyed the first ...I had started reading these and enjoyed the first two, but hated the third one. I gave them up after that. I think we all need a light fluffy read now and then though. I liked your analogy of the sundae. I think a lot of series fall into that trap.

Normally I'm not into any kind of horror. I never would have read the books if it wasn't for the series. Dracula's a pretty good book though, so don't be put off by it.Karenlibrarianhttp://karensbooksandchocolate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-49093540157300499582010-06-29T23:31:50.940-04:002010-06-29T23:31:50.940-04:00I admit, I tried to read these last summer and did...I admit, I tried to read these last summer and didn't make it past page 5 of the first one.
