It was a dreadful book😂 No one can ever read it, anywhere. But it was a good exercise (80,000 words!!!). I think 'Lost Boys' is a more enjoyable flick. Sort of funny, in a way. A young Kiefer Sutherland has a strong role in it. You might not recognize the other actors, but basically good quality acting, mostly topnotch. Van Helsing is more a B movie I think.
