A review by biblio_lore
Anno Dracula: Johnny Alucard by Kim Newman

3.0

I've joined the ranks of people who said they wanted to love this. I truly did. I want to love you, book, but ultimately you didn't have enough story to keep me interested. I give it the three stars because the writing is really well done and as per usual, Newman is a master with the pop culture references. The problem, however, is that they get in the way here when The story doesn't have enough meat to contain them. Added to this, I felt like Johnny, the main villain and focal point, wasn't strong enough to carry this novel. Kim Newman is an excellent writer and everything here is well done but the material just doesn't hold for me.
