Rating:  Summary: Ok Review: I love all of the vampire chronicles. This is a decent book in its own right but not what I expected from Anne. If you like her previous novels you should pick this one up. But unless you are a true fan wait till it is out on papper back.
Rating:  Summary: A love story between immortal and mortal souls. Review: Anne Rice's narrative of the relationships of these immortals and their mortal companions is like a love story not between man and women, rather between two passionate souls.
Rating:  Summary: a little bit disappointing Review: Before I had started this book, I had read the vampire chronicles. These were excellent and well written. This book is everything but exciting. To much bla bla about art, flat characters and hardly a storyline that kept me interested. Sorry A.Rice...
Rating:  Summary: Better than I expected after Armand Review: This book was refreshingly different after so many novels focusing on the one New Orleans coven of vampires. Vittorio tells his story well, despite Anne Rice's tendency to ramble.After the initial opening, however, the book goes downhill. Vittorio's love affair with Ursula is thoroughly unbelievable. He hardly knows the girl, but runs off like some melodrama hero to save the day. Ursula's character is nothing more than a shadow of Anne Rice's rich ability to present a character. Ursula is depressingly pale when put in comparison with Louis or Lestat.
Rating:  Summary: Un grande viaggio... Review: This is the Annie we do love! Keep up the good work. We are waiting for the complete story of Marius and the sequel (book four) of the Mayfair witches... Ciao G.Luca - Roma.
Rating:  Summary: A Great Short Story Review: Well what can I say? For the first time Anne Rice has dissapointed me. For one I would like to point out that this IS a short story, not a novel. The most distressing thing is she left out the vampire part. As usual she was great with the story background, however I was dissapointed with the characters. I'm sorry but putting 100 pages of print into a wide margined double spaced, huge type, does not make it a novel. All I can figure is she arrived at her deadline with what we've read and I can't help but think she never quite finished the story. C'mon Anne I want to read about Vittorio The VAMPIRE. It was good and the message was positive (though thinly veiled) But I would have liked to have read the whole story. I'm sorry but I feel cheated.
Rating:  Summary: I happen to like the "same old vampires". Review: I guess this book was okay, but it appealed to me far less that the other vampire boks did. The book didn't tell his whole life, just the important parts, which didn't sound as important as it was supposed to. It was an easy read, but I read it without really caring about the plot very much. I hope Anne Rice puts out anohter book soon. I would really want to read it. Maybe even put Lestat in it.......
Rating:  Summary: Same formula... Why blame her? Review: Although this is the best and most original of her latest couple of books (I could not finish Violin - it was so boring), it is still based on the same formula: very rich, extremely good looking, and incredibly charismatic charater becomes a vampire and confuses blood with sex, God, angels, the devil, and so on. I'm still waiting for Anne Rice to write "Moshe", the middle-class, balding Jewish vampire who lived in the suburbs, drove a Saturn, and worked in the insurance industry.
Rating:  Summary: Hey I liked it but it was no Lestat Review: Well I bought it yesterday and I have been reading it, it started off good but it started to get slow. I have not finished it all the way yet I have 40 more pages, but It is good. The thing I am curious about is in the book "Pandora" she said Lestat was frozen in a church. Please return him somehow he is the ultimate vampire. He is the one that she could truly write about. Have him return or something even if it is 1 book he needs to shine his heart down upon us 1 more time
Rating:  Summary: Vittorio Nice to meet you NOW go away Review: After reading Vittorio I checked to make sure it was truely a Anne Rice novel. I enjoyed the images that were painted about Italy but I never want to read about Vittorio again. It should have been called "The boy who weeps at EVERYTHING and happens to become a vampire" Give me characters that I can have feeling for, either good or bad. I have hated and loved her other main characters so much that I feel that I know them, I don't want to know Vittorio. Shake his hand and send him away.
