For example, the whole deal with Babette, with Louis' brother and family, and Louis' and Claudia's despair-filled encounters with vampires of Eastern Europe. Also, Kirsten Dunst looks funny as a little vampire. Yeah, I think I enjoyed the book and the movie about equally, but to be fair, the movie skipped over a lot of parts from the book.
