Memnoch the Devil

Summary: philosphical
Review: Great book if you start it from about the middle. The beggining is not so captivating. Memnoch. Is he really the devil? I mean the devil? I like his story, I believe it's really good, well built. Makes people question things. If you're not fanatic about relligion and you keep an open mind, you'll enjoy this book. Please be patient at the start, it takes a while but it gets really good. The end isn't the best, I can't rate this 5 stars, sorry. I don't claim I fully understand everything in this book, but, it's not so bad and if you'll read the next one "Vampire Armand"...than you'll find out two things: first, and very important, Armand didn't suceed in killing himself, second, Armand looses his charm in that book, his only excuse is Beethoven...I mean the sonata "Appassionata":) That's one 1 star book:(, this one is much better.

Review: Great it really made me question what I was tought at church what Anne said in this book really made me stop and think esp. since my chrch has a passion for changing there stories from the bible every few years I no longer go there and part of the reason was they wanted me to stop reading these kind of books starting they was of the devil just because it had the name of the devil in it Now I am not saying all the religion is like this but for people like me who live in the Northern Tip of the bible belt we know how it is but back to the book try the book Memnoch's story is great this is one of her best works IMO I am support Anne 100% is what ever she does and I will continue to as well try it out and for all you haters try reading the book with your MIND not your EYES think about it

Summary: To Those Negitive Voices Out There.....
Review: You have the concept all wrong. If you say it is too wordy, then you are probably just plain S-T-U-P-I-D. Can you tell me what that spells, dumb ass?

To you church people who are offended by the novel: I myself am atheist, however, Ms. Rice's portrayl of religion seems perfect. It actually made me consider going to church. Of course I went to church and found it to be extremely boring.(Sorry Ms. Rice!)

Also, to those who comment about the sex: That just so happens that Ms. Rice likes erotics in her novels, so just don't even go there!

Let me just say it was an ingenius novel of stunning accord, and I loved it, LOVED every single one of those 500 pages. I would recommend it to adults who are not childish enough to not understand it, and perhaps to mature teenagers like myself who would appreciate her work. Thank you for your time, and I'm sorry I lost my temper and called the not as smart people dumb asses.

Summary: Come on, think!
Review: Ok, for all the people who wrote that this book is a waste of time, they are horibbly wrong! Either they are very religious and they don't enjoy having their strict beliefs questioned, or they don't want to think about the concept that Anne Rice brings to attention. She is giving an explination to the unkown, beacuse truly, no one can be 100% sure about all of this, unless they have seen or spoken to God or His angels.
Seriously though, it is a very smart thesis and there is a lot of evidence to support it.


Why does God allow such horrible things to happen, when He could stop them with His power, which is unmeasurable?
Why does He test us the way He does? If He does indeed know everything, wouldn't he know what we think and how we feel about things?

If that is so, wouldn't the all the extra hardships be unecessary, if He already knows our hearts? Why would He let us be tortured to prove our faith?

Summary: A reasonable continuation
Review: Lestat's already done it all.. so all that's left is the Devil himself! A good book in the series.
