review 1: The title Vampire a Go-Go is apt for this book because it picks up from the beginning and never really lets you go. Following a grad student on his way through Prague and a war between the Vatican and a secret society in search of the philosopher's stone, it pulls you very quickly through this poor bastard's trials. It's funny, fast and has a few decently brutal moments that are both unexpected and sometimes even shocking. I really loved this book for all that it had and believe me, it's actually packed pretty full. There is so much going on in a little over three hundred pages that I ended up kind of shocked when it was all over. If there is one thing to caution you on, this book is irreverent and while that is part of its appeal, it also makes it feel a little on th... moree flippant side sometimes. Things are resolved a little too quickly and though they make sense, there are aspects that the author could have made a point to concentrate on a little more. Also, I feel like I need to make a point to say that for a book called Vampire a Go-Go, there was very little to the vampire herself. I would have liked to see more of her character but it wasn't enough to really take away from the story as a whole in the end. Gischler did a great job keeping the pace and this book is well worth reading.
review 2: 've been a Gischler fan since GUN MONKEYS and bought this right away assuming it was a sequel to GO-GO GIRLS OF THE APOCALYPSE. It sat on the back burner for over a year--I liked GGG, but wasn't in the mood for a sf survivalist read. I always expect offbeat from Gischler, but wasn't expecting this historical supernatural thriller. I was not disappointed. Not as absurdly wacky as Christopher Moore, but it does have a dash of wackiness. The historical basis reminded me of Kostova's THE HISTORIAN. A better title might have brought a more appreciative readership to this book. less
