The Strain

After learning that the book was about to become a television series I pulled my book down from the shelf, dusted it off and read it. I enjoyed the book at times and at other times I thought it was a little too slow. There also wasn't a ton of description in the book, which made some parts of it really hard to see since I didn't always know which character I was looking at. But in the end I thought the different view of the vampires was an interesting one, and I enjoyed learning how they killed and what was going to happen to people who were infected. After reading the book I waited and waited for the show to come out and finally tonight it did.

I had been looking for something in which vampires were not about sex and love and sex, I wanted brutal vampires who were all about killing and eating and gathering more of their kind. The show skips through a lot of stuff to get to the meat of the story faster. While it isn't exactly like the book I think that is a good thing. It is like the book in many ways, but I don't think you need to read the book to enjoy the show. Since this was the first episode I won't judge it too harshly right now. I'd like to see how they work through things and keep it interesting. If you enjoy horror and suspense television you might like this. If they keep up the suspense and the horror elements this might be an all right show.

I look forward to the next episode, hoping they keep it interesting and enjoyable to watch.
