Summary: would u sell your soul for a girl
Comment: i have read some cool vampire books in my lifetime(i am only 20) but this one is awesome. Strahd is the coolest vampire he is mean but very just in the way he rules. but i can relate to the story cuz Strahd would do anything to win the love of tatyana and he does. he kills his brother, sells his soul to death, and right after that she freaking dies and now he is vampire with cool powers but he doesn't have his woman. but he is always looking for her in barovia but will he find her again? read the book. if u like vampires and magic set in a gothic land then u will love this book. my friend jonathan would be scared by the magic and vampires but it's not really a scary story for me. it's just an awesome book.

Summary: I, Strahd - a wickedly good yarn
Comment: With any vampire novel the great danger is that of imitation: no matter what the protagonist, when the era, where the setting is, there will always be a question of how well it stands up next to the 'classics'.
Well, move over Bram Stoker! Dracula, with all its nineteenth-century patriotism, stake-wielding self-righteousness, and gun-slinging 'technology' is gone: Strahd von Zarovich has arrived. Although not the very first of its kind, 'I, Strahd' is easily one of the best see-it-through-the-Vampire's-eyes gothic novels I have ever read. P N Elrod's style is fast without being rushed, passionate without being sentimental, and her anti-hero Count Strahd is immediately memorable to any reader.
His story, too, is similar to that of the Transylvanian Count, but the first-hand view of Strahd's life (unlife?) and the atrocities he is driven to commit strikes a rapport with the reader. Here is a vampire who is evil, who kills without remorse, who has no feelings for life except his own (imperfect) facsimile...sometimes. Yet he is repentant, pining for a lost love, and loyal to his people's safety, willing to give his life to their protection and unification...sometimes.
It is this double-nature of the protagonist which makes 'I, Strahd' a compelling read and stands comparison with 'Dracula' and 'Interview with the Vampire'. Enter if you dare...you will be smitten!

Summary: an unfortunate disapointment
Comment: after all the hearings from the readers around me, I got the book and read. But from the beginning I was out of the world of the book, and the way the story was told confused me totally... The characters are not really established and they were like being observed by total strangers...
it could be written better.. something is missing..
