3.0 out of 5 stars
A great story about a woman who may or may not be undead, November 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of the Shroud (Hardcover)
This is a great story, engaging and fun. The basic plot is a wealthy heir falls in love with a woman who may or may not be a vampire. There is a great chase scene at the end, and the story would make a great film, despite some inconsistencies in the plot and detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Another Great from Stoker!, June 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of the Shroud (Hardcover)
As a fan of Stoker's works, I was not disappointed by this book. While it contains many of Stoker's previous themes, this is a departure into a more action-oriented story.
As with all his books, the first few chapters are slow, but it builds up eventually. I especially enjoyed that beautifully written descriptions of the "Land of the Blue Mountains" and her inhabitants. The wedding scene is also wonderful.
The only thing that I didn't like was the incredibly dry and boring chapter that was devoted to the main character's Uncle's will. It was as about as interesting as reading a real legal document.
I would recommend this book to fans of Stoker as well as other readers.
