My experience with vampire books us pretty much limited to that but it's pretty monstrous
Never read the book, but I liked the movie.
The book is great. As far as movies goes, both the scandinavian and the US version are pretty good. The US version manages to be a bit more dark actually (which surprised me, since normally it is the otehr way around).
To get back to topic: I'm trying the Astarion romance atm and somehow managed to get a high approval with him for the first time ever - and I'm playing a really good character, so I must have done some dialogues right, because I get a lot of dissapproval from simply helping people.
