Title: A silly, overrated book
Review: The Keep made for a pretty bad movie. However, until reading this book I had no idea that the movie was actually better than the source material. This story starts out very solidly, with a great premise and very nice set-up. About the middle, though, the book completely shifts and becomes a paint-by-numbers adventure story. I strongly suspected that the book was going downhill when the "vampire" made its first appearance to the old man and his daughter. It just took all the menace away from the proceedings. From this point forward, The Keep is just a silly, silly story with a conclusion so ridiculous and "Hollywood" that I could never recommend this book to anybody. Ever. It's lunacy that this book has such a high rating on Amazon.
