Customer review of: Dark Hunger (Dark) Customer Rating: Summary: Dark Hunger leaves you hungry for a real novel, not a comic book Comment: I was extremely disappointed in the Christine Feehan book I received titled Dark Hunger. I ordered the book trusting that it would be one of her dark Carpathian novels and received instead an overpriced comic book. I used to read comic books when I was a kid but this didn't even come up to the old "Superman" level. Is there another title that I can order and get the novel, not the comic book? Is there some way I can at least get back $5 of the $7+ charged for this fiasco?? By the way - - - my rating is a big fat ZERO! - - Not the 1 Star I had to put to even be able to post this review. Customer Rating: Summary: Dark Hunger Comment: This item was delivered on time and was in great shapw. thanks for sending it so fast!!!!! -Valerie Customer Rating: Summary: Fooled me on this one Comment: I am a big fan of the Carpathian series, and have enjoyed finding the books on Amazon. I saw this and thought how wonderful, a story I haven't read. Imagine my surprise when a comic book arrived. I didn't understand the word "Manga" but now I do, it means cartoon. I was so disappointed with the book, I tried to "read" it but found the whole thing ridiculous. If you are looking for a good tale about the Carpathians, this is NOT it. Customer Rating: Summary: Not as expected Comment: I purchased this book as part of a promotion when I puchased another by Christine Feehan. I had no idea that this was essentially a comic book. I am very disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: Dark (Unintentional) Humor Comment: As someone with a bit of a soft spot for vampire-themed manga and anime, I figured this was worth a try from out of the clearance bin. What I didn't realize until I sat down to read it is that this is a graphic novel adaptation of a previously published short story, available in this anthology: Hot Blooded. An immortal blood sucking vampire hunter, Riordan, is captured, caged, and poisoned by the very vampires he is hunting. His violent musings upon his ultimate vengeance are surprisingly interrupted by a seemingly man-hating animal activist bent on freeing caged animals who stumbles upon Riordan's cage. As he is preparing to attack her, he is stunned to find himself sensing that she is his destined life mate, the one he had all but given up seeking. For obvious and not so obvious reasons, Juliette tries desperately to resist him, and he spends the rest of the book trying to convince her. That's pretty much it. Unlike a number of reviewers, I was pleased by the (functional but nothing spectacular) Japanese manga-style artwork; my problem was more with the story. Despite its source being a short story rather than a novel, it is clear that a lot had to be left out beyond merely all of the sex. The somewhat complicated back story of the Carpathians in general and Riordan in particular suffers considerably from the truncation as does the character development, which is all but eliminated. What was NOT trimmed enough IMHO was the stilted, unintentionally hilarious dialog. If it is at all representative of the original, the adaptation would have benefited greatly from a lot more of its story being told in pictures than in words. Still, the main characters are impossible to dislike for long, and the premise certainly has promise. Unfortunately, the neither fish nor fowl result is likely to disappoint both manga and romance fans alike.
Editorial Reviews: The New York Times bestselling author's Carpathian classic goes Manga! Christine Feehan has reinvented the vampire novel with her New York Times bestselling Carpathian series. Now she and Berkley take her "out-of-the- ordinary" (Booklist) in a thrilling new direction--and this time it's more graphic than ever. Riordan is an immortal Carpathian male, trapped and caged, his honor compromised by his captors. They're in his mind. They're in his blood. And not one can withstand his desire for revenge. Juliette is an activist devoted to liberating animals from a secret jungle lab. What she stumbles upon is a prisoner like no other. She will release him from his bonds. He will release her from her inhibitions.
