Summary: WHY? WHY? WHY?
Review: My name is Bryan Jonathan Morris. I have just finished Memnock The Devil. Unlike the other four Vampire books I had to force myself to finish it. I love Anne Rice's books, but I hated this one. Why did Anne Rice even write it is what I want to know. I think that it hurt all of her Vampire book readers. It was a huge wast of time to read. It also went too far when it came to everythin the Devil was able to do and it went to far when it talked about why God made the earth. It also made God look bad....I love God and I hated reading those parts but forced myself to so I could findout what was to happen. If you want to ask me about the book e-mail me. And for those Vampire Chronicle readers that are just finishing The Body Thief, I think that you should stop there because reading this book will make you very unhappy

Summary: The Fight For Lestat, a classic tale of good and evil.
Review: Anne Rice captivates her readers in this chilling novel. Lestat is finally confronted with a greater evil than himself, and for all those that have been following his adventures, or for all those that would like to begin, this is a good place to start, or continue.Anne Rice blends the classic struggle bettween good and evil into something more, and to find out just what that is you'll have to pick up a copy of Memnoch the Devil, from the Amazon book store nearest you

Summary: Boring and self absorbed
Review: Endless pseudo-spiritual babble

Summary: Does Anne Rice get paid by the word?
Review: Anne Rice sure has gotten wordy over the last 10 years. She's much too in love with the sound of her own narration to merit as much adoration and attention as she gets

Summary: I HATED it!!!!:(
Review: After reading all Anne Rice's vampire books, I could safely say that this is her WORST. It is pointless, tedious, and generally a waste of time!!!! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it

Summary: That's It, No More Anne Rice for Me
Review: In Anne Rice there is always the struggle between the definitions of Gothic. Either great atmosphere and haunting narratives, or the typical 19th century novel in which the author can't shut up about everything BUT the story. Anne Rice's meditation on the devil is trite, her insights are something a sixth grader would flinch at, and worst of all the story is duller than the aforementioned 19th century novel. Many criticize INterview for being a book about a whiner vampire and Anne apparently took those criticism to heart and made Louis disappear into laughably one dimensional walk-ons. However now the formally cool and fascinating Lestat must fill the void. It began in the Tale of the Body Thief in which our formally funloving vampire decides he doesn't want to be a vampire and it continues here with a relish as Lestat whines incessantly. Worse is that we don't care about the ghost of his victim who is an even bigger whiner because we are waiting for the Devil to make his appearance. What does the Devil do when he finally shows up (after an annoying buildup that is supposed to be suspenseful and mysterious despite the title telling you who and what THAT MYSTERIOUS PRESENCE that is following Lestat happens to be) he begans to tell the whole story of the Universe--from the Catholic viewpoint no less. What is his main point? Being a devil is really hard---and depressing. In a novel where the devil and the rest of the main characters whine away without ceasing, it is almost enough to make you miss Louis. At least Louis had a point, and let up occasionally. Since Anne Rice redefined Vampire fiction, it is sad that this is the best she could come up with in an increasingly dismal series. Thankfully it is assumed to be the last of the bunch, which hopefully is not an empty promise. In the meantime Poppy Z. Brite's Lost SOuls is more entertaining than anything Anne Rice has come up with in terms of Vampire books

Summary: I hated it! How could anyone who loves her books enjoy it?
Review: I have read the first 4 books of the Vampire Chronicles and loved them all. They are all action packed and give
us an in-depth view of Lestats life and struggle. Now
Rice goes into a 400 page long debate on Good versus bad
and God versus the Devil. I would rather read the Bible
for that. This isn't about Lestat or Vampires at all! I had several friends tell me "Don't read it - it is boring and slow" But I didn't listen. I couldn't read it past 120
pages and I couldn't even get through the cassettes. If you like Anne Rice you should hate this book because it
has nothing to do with her former stuff at all.

Summary: Different but good
Review: I thought that the style of writing for this book shows a greater maturity and it clearly shows that much more thought was given behind the philosophy behind good and evil and how things may not be so black and white.
While it was not as action packed or mythical as the rest of the vampire books, I enjoyed this one all the same

Summary: Great book for lovers of Anne Rice!
Review: For all of those who love Anne Rice's books, this is Rice
at her best. Fast paced and difficult to put down, you hope
that by the time you finish, Rice will have the sequel ready
to go.
A must read!

Summary: Skillfully weaved.
Review: In our final encounter with our tainted hero, the flaxen haired superstar, The Vampire Lestat we behold him at his most vulnerable. Never has any creature of stalking been so endearing as to capture our hearts and lead us eagerly through worlds otherwise left unexplored. With the Vampire Chronicles we were given mere glimpses into Lestat's never-ending theological struggles and now they have come full circle, in ultimate fruition, and presented themselves to him in the form of Memnoch the Devil (or angel, only you can truly decide). In his quest to sway Lestat to join his crusade, Memnoch shepherds Lestat through the sacred milieus' of heaven, purgatory and hell in a Dantesque journey through the most mystical of universes. With practical ingenuity and whimsical romanticism Anne Rice, once again, challenges readers to question all they know to be true and in the end their faith will never be the same.
Fare thee well Lestat
