Interesting, informative and funny, a pleasant way to pass an afternoon.
I am a huge vampire/Dracula fan, so when I saw Bibeau's book at the library, I was quite excited to read a fellow vampire enthusiast's account of the modern day culture surrounding vampirism. What I did not expect to find in Sundays with Vlad is a pompous, belittling, and outright disgraceful testament to Romanians and the place they call home, or as Bibeau would say, "desolate post-communist backwater" (18).
This book was super confusing. I read the whole thing and I have no idea what it was about.
