5.0 out of 5 stars Sex and Blood...what more could you possibly want?, August 16, 2000

By 

vampress.net (Toronto Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World on Blood (Paperback)

I'll be blunt, i liked this book for the following reasons: lots o' blood, no big angsty loser woe is me Lestat-esque vamps, no immortal mindreading bloodsucking fiends, orgies like every third page, easy to read, and has a level of believability (is that a word?).

It was a refreshing twist on the vampire myth, and certainly a more believable one at that. This book is compared to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, but they're -extremely- different and I see no means for comparison. But mind you, I personally prefered The World on Blood to Rice's work that i've read (i've been stuck in the middle of Queen of the Damned for about a year now). *shrugs*

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly new look on the word of vampires and witches., October 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The World on Blood (Paperback)

This book was truely amazing. After reading it several times, I still get the urge to reach for it, even though I happen to have a stack of unread books else where. Jonathan Nasaw surely has something which most people seem to lack these days. He's creative and imaginative, yet manages to keep his feet on the ground, allowing a new and exciting look on vampires and witches to emerge. Nasaw's words are truely spell binding. The irony of the plot also grabs at the readers attention, further creating the title of a 'page turner'. 'The World on Blood' is best described as: 'Beautifully written, wildly satisfying, has something for everyone.' -Fangoria

5.0 out of 5 stars Nasaw offers a great new twist on an age old tale., July 8, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The World on Blood: 8 (Hardcover)

In The World On Blood Jonathan Nasaw offers us a compelling, tightly written tale of contemporary vampire life. Funny, thought provoking and downright sexy Nasaw's book takes the reader on a wild ride from the darkside of the Bay Area on to Tahoe and finally to the Caribbean and back.
Along the way Nick finds himself in a moral battle of good and evil as he struggles to maintain his sobriety from blood, prepare for fatherhood and save his 12 Step group, Vampires Anonymous, from a collective relapse.
Not for the timid or faint of heart, this book contains well-written, but graphic, scenes of ritualistic group sex, murder and wiccan rites.
