Book Reviews of Lost Souls
Book Review: Another Lost Soul
Summary: 5 Stars
Poppy Z Brite, the amazing Poppy Z Brite, wrote yet another amazing book, Lost Souls. Vampires, suave and scandalous, are the main characters of this book, along with two people of a different race, humans. This book smells of blood and altars, and Poppy's humid-New-Orleans-diction is truly a diamond in the ruff of other corny vampire novels. Nothing, the young teen with RIT died hair, feels like most teens, hoping that somehow he was adopted and has no relation to his parents. But his yearning for different birthparents came true when he found a note proving his 'parents' weren't blood parents. He ran away and coincidence turned to fate when he found his true father, a beautiful vampire named Zillah with chartreuse green eyes, along with two other vampires, mirror images of each other, Molochia and Twig. Everything in the book ties together, from drinking to the late Dylan Thomas, or red-x-voodoo-queens, and witches. Bauhaus music floods this book, serenading along with the Lost Souls? band of Ghost and Steve. Lost Souls is my favorite Poppy Z Brite book, along with her short story in that water erotica book (mainly because the pages of it are waterproof).I love it because of its wonderful, beautiful, horrifying bliss.Book Review: Are you vampiresque tonight?
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, the athmosphere is the right shade of black, and I love the charachters of Ghost and Nothing...but what's is all about?Too much gore, too many unpleasant charachters, and the gloom isn't even justified by ancestral lore. Yeah, maybe vampire stories just aren't my cup of tea. If you want a very original vampire story, rooted in mythology, read Burying the shadow of Storm Constantine
Book Review: As Good As It Gets!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much more to say that can describe this book! The characters, the plot, everything is great! I will not go on about the story, I'm sure you have read it repetedly throughout the other reviews. But I will say this to "A reader from Chicago, IL," after reading your review I sat back and wondered how an "adult" would write such an immature comment such as yours! Poppy, you truely are the Goddess of fiction!!!Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved it, i still love it, I picked up this book and just could not put it down. Few books i read from front to back on the same day because i could not put it down. The characters were so well written i could picture each character as i read. Also, the plot was very well constructed, as i was not confused by nothing happening ar too much happening with no exlplanations. While this book may not be for the weak at heart or more prudish, it is definatly a must read if you are into vampires, fiction or just a great story.Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first book by Poppy Z. Brite I have read and I was very impressed. Her descriptions are hauntingly beautiful and articulate. I'm very hard to amuse and this was the first book I have ever come across that I couldn't put down. She didn't use the romantic image of the vampire which made the story even better. Passionate, erotic, and dark her writing lacks the conservative sugar coating that plagues todays literature.
