The book sounds like a good read and will make a great movie, too; but is it a parable for the current mis-administration of liberal corporatist statist fascism sucking the life and confidence out of the vibrant American economy and killing the free enterprise system by printing money and nationalizing business with the help of the underling biased zombie media???
The part about the “vampires” having no genitals sounds very much like today’s liberals’ and media folks’ confusion over sex and gender.
Murderous evil exists… those who crucified Jesus, Genghis Khan, Count Draca, most of the Islamic expansions (just read some history -- they were sheer slaughters), the Spanish Inquisition, Arabs selling Black Africans into slavery, Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Che, Mao, O……. oh, well, I guess there will be ongoing evil… unless the media stands up to fake, phony and fraudulently dangerous leaders a/k/a “teleprompter readers.” Unfortunately, the batch on the air these days seems to have been bitten in the neck and has had all the truth sucked out of them, even though they keep chattering on.
If this new book/movie is anything close to Pan's Labyrinth, then I am sure it will be a hit. I find Del Toro's directed movies amazing and cannot wait to read and see this movie!
