That might be called lukewarm.  Recently visited New Orleans and loved the place, so was glad to find this new novel about the culture of the city.  That said, I had a hard time liking anyone involved!  Although our cop had a conscience, his life was a mess with no likelihood of improvement, or even continuance.  Izzythe best of the bunch.  Beatricewell, you know.  To summarize,  I got through it, but was relieved to have done so.

I fell for the adds saying it was a laugh out riot and etc. It was funny at times, but not as near as i'd hoped it would be. Maybe my expectations were too high, i don't know. I liked the blonde girl/Nazi, and the Sarah Palin look alike as president was worth a chuckle, but very disapointed. The violence was weak, NO NUDITY, and the comedy needed work. It says "I don't like it" when i clicked on the two stars, but i consider one star or less as don't like, it had some moments.

It kept me entertained, but it wasn't the best book Ive ever read.  It leaves a little to be desired

Despite what the critics say, I didn't think this was all that good.

It wasn't bad, just not great.  I watch films on my Kindle while on the treadmill, so this was fine for that.

Writing was not bad, didn't jump around  like some stories do, author needs to flesh out the characters more.  Might like to try some other stories

For a quick read it wasn't too bad at all.  I was actually disappointed it wasn't longer.  Overall not completely disasterous,

I thought when I rented this that I was going to be pretty bored but, it turned out to be okay. It wasn't awesome, but it was pretty good.

I think the story line was OK... The execution was lacking.

Good: Writing had a decent flow. It wasn't amazing but it was good enough.

Bad: Too many POVs. Slow to no plot development. The writer added in crude scenes just for the sake of it being a grimdark book. All in all it is a Game of Thrones rip off, that fails in every way that Martin succeeded.

Could have been a bit more about the lizard, and less about the interpersonal deficiencies of the human characters. It was good, but not great.

It was not a great movie, but it was a decent one. I liked the concept, but the acting was terrible in many ways. It was predictable, as many horror movies are. The meat of the movie was unique, though, and it did keep me watching until the end. Then, of course, when it was over, my SO and I said, "what the..." to each other.

I think as a story it was not so bad. As a representation of a book, the other reviewers suggest it did a poor job. Perhaps trying to fit a book or two into a movie script is what makes for a disappointing movie.
The acting was pretty good. Aaliyah had a good cognizance of her body, and did a good job dancing through it all. Her diction was well done too, for a singer. Stuart Townsend seemed a little coquette-ish for my taste. He was trying to translate 'irresistible' and it turned into something cheesy. Also, portraying the singing rock star, he seemed oddly reserved. I think he was trying to not look ridiculous and tempering his body accordingly. If he'd watched some NIN or Korn videos or concerts he might have loosened his physical restraint during his performance a little. I mean, if he'd been singing he might have had to throw himself into it more.
The make up was quite good in most cases, especially for Akasha. The vampire design was pretty much oddly accentuated eye shadow, so not as great. The statuary could have been better.
Basically I was here for the music. Jonathan Davis' singing voice didn't quite match Townsend's speaking voice, but it would have been tricky to cast an actor to fit the way he sang.
