true, the movie wasn't as good as the first book...but the 2nd movie comes out here in the states in November this year. I've read the first book, listened to all 4 on cd at work and hubby bought me the first movie. I really liked the books...i have a serious thing for vamp love myself. (Laurell K Hamilton is still my fav...followed closely by Christine Feehan's Carpathian novels)
