I think 200 pages was about halfway through? It had tiny print and no commentary. Also, the translation kind of sucked. Not that I've read it in the original, but I'm pretty sure that saying, for example, "Hands off, sonny!" is kind of out of character for the Count.
I will find a better, unabridged translation at some point and savor the deep-laid revenge.
I haven't read the Twilight books- although what with all the entertaining fallout from the fourth one, I kind of want to now. cleolinda (author of Movies in 15 Minues) has some hilarious summaries that I've been following, plus icons.
You and I both know that I cannot resist the sparkly vampires forever. It's only a matter of time.
