 Cool beans! July 3, 2000

This book was easily the best book of the series so far. I was glad for the focus on Theo, one of the most intriguing characters in the series so far. Seeing Lydia get past her hero worship of Theo was something neat to see, too. All in all, a good read.

At first I thought the book would be pretty stupid with a lot of killing. The plot however gets pretty intense and Gherbod Flemming keeps you on your toes, not knowing where to go. He is undoubtedly the best author in the series. The fact that some of the flaws in Malkavian are made somewhat relevant in this book makes me smile. Trust me, its a winner
The best book I've read in a long time September 28, 2000

The Brujah clan book is the first book in the series that I have read. It is one of the best fantasy books that I have picked up in a long time it keept me going all the way threw. It acctualy made me read all the way threw the book to find out what would happen instead of skipping to the end chapter. After reading this one I am going to go and get more from the series.

I admit that out of the novel this was the first one that i picked up and read. good place to start at huh? I probably should have started at the beginning of the series but, surprisingly enough i wasn't too confused in this novel, without having read the preceeding events that had lead up to it. I liked the author to this book also, more so than the other i have since read. He characterizes the Brujah in the story very well, and even though they are not my favorite clan, this is my favorite novel to the series. But i don't suggest for anyone to just pick up any novel and start, and because otherwise you will just get confused. I know when i started the malkvavian novel, and the lasombra novel out of nowhere i was quickly regretting not having started at the beginning of the series.
Turn About Is Fair Play December 21, 2004
In a sanctioned series like this the reader knows that it is only a matter fo time before the Camarilla start to fight back. After all, it wouldn't do to wipe out half the point behind a popular game. And it should no surprise that the Brujah turn up on the front lines of the battle. Archon Theo Bell is an example of what is good about the Brujah clan traits. He is tough, intelligent, subtle when he needs to be, and capable of shocking violence when that is the best solution.
Back against the wall, the prince of the city dead, Baltimore looks pretty much like Sabbat meat. If nothing is done, the Camarilla will lose the east coast entirely. To Bell falls the responsibility for organizing a campaign that will snatch a surprise victory from the fangs of defeat. And he is an expert at his job.
If the Giovanni novel was a vampire version of a mobster novel, Brujah is the war story of the series. Archon Bell must deal with mysterious killings, recalcitrant Justicars, and a host of vampires that would love to see him dead. Betrayal and hidden agendas are the rules of the conflict as one side tries to out-bite the other. As the intensity grows, the action shifts to Manhattan for a series of surprises. Be warned, things get VERY violent.
Arguable, this is Fleming's best book of the series. He's past the point of having to provide collateral details and has focused head down on the story. The result is a tight narrative in a most untypical vampire story. As with Giovanni, the only problem is that is can't be read out of order without giving things away too early. Yes, this sells books, but I would like to see more effort in creating novels that sold the idea of the game better.
