Rating: Summary: Great book until you get to the end. Review: The book was wonderful and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to find out what happened in the end and was very disappointed that it left me hanging. I just found out there is a sequel and I hope that the end to it is alot better and will answer all the unanswered questions I have. Other than the ending it is a fantastic read!
Rating: Summary: Can you say BORING? Review: I read about half of this sleeper and finally gave up on it. It may have been a good book if she would have made it a short story. I'll never know. I got so ticked off reading about boring family history and never reached the end. My first and last book by Ann Rice. Now if you want to read a good long book try Stephen Kings' "The Stand" or Robert McGammon's "Swan Song".
Rating: Summary: Spellbinding and a wonderful read. Review: She captures your imagination, you fears, and your sexual desires in one mesmerizing read. I just finished the book and I cannot wait to be drawn into the pages of Lasher. I do feel that the young and those who do not have a good handle on language would be disappointed in this book, for lack of understanding. This book is not for the naive or the faint of heart. This is my first book by Anne Rice and it will most surely not be my last. I am hooked.
Rating: Summary: A good way to kill time Review: Anne rice tells a good story. It takes about 300+ pages of family history to get to it but once you get past the constant repeating of the families incentious familly tree it is basiclly a story of good and evil. You really become attach to the main characters, Rowan Mayfair and Michael Curry the ending is preety much a cliff hanger to get youto read the next book Lasher which is not recomened
Rating: Summary: I loved it! Review: I thought this was a great book that you can easily get lost in. I hope that Anne Rice would make a movie out of it cause that would be really cool.
Rating: Summary: History, suspense and a wonderful plot all rolled into one! Review: This was an amazing book that was a combination of everything a good story needs. The entire plot seemed to flow effortlessly throughout the entire story. The enigma that is Lasher kept me turning pages simply to find out what he was and what would happen with him. The history of the family gave a rich description of New Orleans that seemed to dance in front of you as you read the words. The entire story was perfectly fascinating and worth every moment I spent reading it.
Rating: Summary: For those who do not have anything else better to do Review: This is probably one of the longest boring book I have ever read. Anne Rice seemed to keep her readers reading the same historical fact about this witch family over and over again, until the reader just feels as if it will never end. At first I read the brief summary of the history of the family, and then we go on and on and on about the same thing except in boring detail, and then the end was just as bad. It left me wondering if there was anything else. I was left with nothing but some historical detail, and an ending without substance. If this is to make me want to buy the sequel, I will say, "no, thanks." That will be the last one for me.
Rating: Summary: overindulgent mishmash Review: I feel compeled to say that this book is truly awful in every sense of the word
Rating: Summary: Scared the hell out of me!!!!!!! Review: An erotic, mouth watering tale. One needs to put it down occasionally and take a deep breath! This book stays with you for a long time after you read it. If you read it, you will understand why it is hard to escape. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you, Ms. Rice. You are one hell of an author.
Rating: Summary: Marvelous ! Review: THE WITCHING HOUR is absolutely stunning, no other book I've read in recent years can touch it except perhaps for THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY, or Stephen King's towering horror novels. A superbly crafted look at a family of witches and their journey through the centuries, THE WITCHING HOUR is fascinating!
