Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I'm a young reader of Anne Rice, and I believe that her writing is phenomonal! I read her novel "The Witching Hour" and "Lasher" backs it up perfectly! It has such a cliff-hanger ending, this book was simply fabulous!

Summary: All out of Nyquil? Try reading this book....
Review: This was the shoddiest, most disorganized and ill conceived piece of drivel that I have read since rereading my junior high diary. Only a deep sense of injustice and groundless hope that the end would justify the means kept me reading through to the disappointing and absurd conclusion. Rice created an interesting and intriguing world in 'Cry to Heaven" - she is capable of fine writing - but "Lasher" is an insult to her loyal readers as well as any unsuspecting citizen who picks up a copy of this book. Who would have believed that a book about demons, ghosts, murder, wealth, sex, and breastfeeding could be so numbingly dull?

Summary: I kept thinking Lasher was Howard Stern
Review: I really liked this book. It was a bit draggy at times but I kept picturing this seven foot giant with long dark hair as Howard Stern. If Howard is looking for a character to play. I think he should get together with Anne Rice and have some body write a screen play. What could be a better part for Howard then running around the countryside raping a bunch of women. He said he's waiting for an interesting story. I think this is it. If any of Howards fans reads this review tell him to read the book . I also think the story would be better as a movie to get rid of most of the filler.

Summary: A bit draggy but satisfactory in the end.
Review: Rice knows how to creep people. Yes, true. But in her detailed story telling, she makes you want to sleep. One factor that didn't make me slumber was using instrumental CD's to make my reading exciting. She has too much nonsense flashbacks and x-rated incidents. Blood Gore and Sex and Occultism was a nice touch...but plus Flashbacks? Adding the fourth ingredient was all right but she added too much. You'll only get satisfied after reading the whole book. It doesn't make you say "Wow" while reading it. Only after.

Summary: It was o-kay
Review: This is a great book, it just would have been so much better if Rice didn't drag it so long. She just took too long describing actions and stuff. Other than that it lived up it's predecessors standards.

Summary: A curate's Egg
Review: Anne Rice has a tendency to write brilliant first novels, and inconsistent sequels. Lasher is no exception. At times in Lasher Rice's sophisticated, mesmerising--charged--prose is enough to lift the reader far enough into the heavens to inhibit one's reason. However, at the crucial moment when Rice needs to bring all of the strands together in a satisfying conclusion, she fails. When she does so it's a bit like being in the crowd watching the Emperor with no clothes. While Rice thinks she's getting away with it, you witness an ending that's threadbare--a great story that unravels embarrasingly before your eyes.Still Lasher is very much worth reading. I have a friend that always stops reading 20 pages before the end of the book. I suggest you do the same and make up your own ending.

Summary: Disappointing - pure silly
Review: I really enjoyed the first witches book, and I love the vampire ones, but Lasher is pure silly - I actually got bored reading it which is bad. Far too longwinded in terms of action - no substance to it at all. Annoying book especially the bits about Mona and also the constant breastfeeding.

Summary: AWESOME
Review: Anne Rice is the best author. I love everything she writes,especially the Witch Cronicals. I love her books because she goes into great detail about everything. Lasher is a great book. When I picked it up I could barely put it down.

Summary: Blaah!!
Review: "Cry to Heaven", all the "Vampires", even "The Mummy" are better than this drivel. Just pretend that Lestat got a hold of Lasher and sucked him dry before Anne could write anything after TWH.

Summary: Fascinating, I Loved It!!!!
Review: I have always admired Ann Rice, she is one of my favorites. Lasher is a great story as well as TWH and Taltos, her works always amazes me. The way she describes so in details, makes me feel like im in the story. It makes the reader part of it. I have most of her books and recommend everyone to read them.
