Summary: One of Rice's best
Review: after reading the vampire lestat, i didnt think that anne rice could do any better, but i was proved wrong. i loved her interpretation of the way things were...it gives the reader something to think about, even if they dont agree with it.

all of her books have mesmerized me in one way or another, and have made me fall in love with lestat, the tragic hero. though i need to add that i wasnt very satisfied with the ending. it left me hanging and wanting more....so i hope she will write more books about lestat.

Summary: The WORST book I have ever read!
Review: After thoroughly enjoying Interview, Lestat, and Queen of the Damned, and tolerating The Body Thief, I was completely disappointed with #5 in The Vampire Chronicles. Memnoch was, BY FAR, the WORST book I have ever read - I finished it only because I was on a long bus journey in Japan and had nothing else to read, although I contemplated reading the backs of my credit cards and toilitries which, I assure you, would have been infinately more interesting. It was SO bad that it doesn't even deserve a critical analysis. A new reader of the Vampire Chronicles would be wise to stop after Queen of the Damned. After wasting time and money on Memnoch and Body Thief, Ms. Rice will have to publish a string of 5-star novels for me to even consider reading her again. (I would have given it "no stars" but Amazon doesn't permit me to do so.)

Summary: A beautifully written extravaganza into the preternatural
Review: Memnoch is by far Rice`s best work. i have read nearly all of her books, and this on tops them all. i agree with others that it doesn`t have the raging excitement of ``Queen of the damned``, but when it comes to heartwrenching emotion, clashing philosophies, amazing, beautiful prose, where each sentence leaves you yearning for the next, this is Rice`s best. before this only ``cry to heaven`` impressed me that much with the style, but now this one tops them. I love Anne Rice, her work is magnificent and when reading her work it can only be compared to a insatiable thirst that only her work can quench, she will live on through the ages and if not she will definitly live on in my heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite of the Vampire chronicles
Review: Memnoch the Devil is my favorite book of Anne Rice's Vampire series. Imagine the hell's angel Lestat gets to meet God?! We expect him to conspire with the devil, but not Jesus. As usual Rice's historical research is impeccable. I have read this book five times!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good book. Worth reading.
Review: I liked this book. It was different from Anne Rice's other vampire books but it was still enthralling. The view Anne presented about God and the Devil was interesting and worth thinking about. However, this book was not her greatest; my favorite is still TVL. But it is definitely worth reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very good book!!!
Review: This book is good- but some of the others are better. The author writes it all with so much detail and the ideas she comes up with are completely fascinating and lovable. Lestat such a cool vampire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth reading over!
Review: Before I begin my review...I would like to tell the reader who thought the end was incomplete that Anne Rice intended it to be incomplete. To create suspense and to allow us to include our own ideas. I found the book absolutely wonderful. I was left hanging at the end...but it was great to further interpret Memnoch, the Devil and God himself.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: well writen but not complete
Review: From reading all of the other anne rice books i thought this one would be even better, becaue the more I read the more I like each book. This book just becaue it was writin by anne rice was great. It was not as good as her other books, and at times it got a bit boring, and I did disagree with some of the religios things in the book . I thought the end was uncomplete and I guess I have to read the vampire armand to get what happends. next. I recommmend this book to anyone that is pacient and some one that wont get offended esaily. Memnoch the devil was a really well writen book altough some ideas werent that great. The beging was really good but towards the end it got boring, but I thought the ending was really interesting. It is not a bad book to read but the other books in the chronicles were much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Trippy Page Turner
Review: Rice has once again captivated me in her book Memnoch the Devil. The book has an almost surreal quality, but you can tell that Rice is very serious about her topic. The view of God and the Devil is new and compelling. Some will love the book for its religious ideas and others will hate it for the same. I happen to be one of the former. Bravo Miss Rice!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty good...coulda been better
Review: This book, like the other Vampire Chronicles books, was pretty good. I liked this one more than the others because you really get into the plot, and as always miss Rice's detail is amazing. You actually feel like you're in heaven and hell. This book kind of challenges the way you think of God and the Devil, and it made me think about things like that in a light I've never seen them in before. If you liked the other vampire chronicles books, I would definitely suggest reading this one!
