Summary: A Different aproach
Review: I liked 'Pandora', but I didn't like Rice's new approach to telling the stories of the vampires. I wanted to know more about Pandora's life AFTER she became a vampire. The post-vampire part is always the most interesting to me. I also wanted to know more about our one-legged friend. He was a wonderful character...

Overall, it was a decent book, but not her best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was interesting
Review: Pandora was very slow moving, it took me a while to finish it. I'd say when i reached page 135,it started getting very interesting. After that page, I couldn't put the book down, within a few hours I was done with "Pandora". I give it 3 stars. Now im on to "Armand" Though i'd love to see more of Lestat. Ya gotta love him. Keep up the good work Anne. Can't wait to read "Vittorio"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kept me reading did't want to put down.
Review: The book made me feel as if the person Pandora was talking to me herself

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic and enthralling
Review: I have read all of the vampire tales by anne rice and this was my favorite. I felt the main character pandora was a strong intellegent woman. She appealed to me on many levels, and I was intrigued by this female vampire. The story telling was superb. A lot of fun to read/

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent addition to the Chronicles, if a little short.
Review: Pandora was indeed an excellent book, though the ending seemed a little abrupt for me. I was expecting at least another chapter or two, but found none. It had many of the aspects of the third novel in the Vampire Chronicles, Queen of the Damned, including a strong, central female character. I wish more of her books had female characters as strong willed as this. Beautiful, talented and a wit to best any man of the period. All in all, a good read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short and Sweet
Review: Contrary to the popular opinion, I thought this novel was much more interesting than some of Ann Rice's previous attempts (Vamp. Lestat). Lestat became a far-fetched and unbearably tedious read somewhere around page 200, but Pandora is a well rounded novel that doesn't drag itself out. 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pandora was a very involved book which grasps you quickly
Review: I found Pandora to be very interesting..i was taken in immediately and could hardly put it down because i couldn't wait to discover how it would end..it was the first ann rice novel i had ever read and now im looking forward to many more such experinces with her. Id recomend this book to anyone who like horror/gore (well obviously) and to those who enjoy historical fiction because of its excellent description of life for a patrician girl~then vampire towards the end of the roman empire. overall it was an excellent read

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Extremely disappointing
Review: I have really enjoyed other books by this author. However, Pandora seemed to be one of her worst researched, full of 'filler' and missing the attention to detail seen so often evident in books such as 'Cry to Heaven' and other period pieces. This books seems rushed to market.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book
Review: I really thought this book was one of the best books I have ever read. Ms. Rice did such a great job describing the historical events. I do wish that the book was a little longer. The reason why I enjoyed this book so such is because in the other books Ms. Rice never really wrote too such about Pandora and there was no mention of her history at all. I always though she was quite and liked keeping to her self. But when I read the book I realized that she was not quite at all, but instead she is lonely, and still is not recovered from the things that happened to over the years. This book is filled with romance, history, adventure, love and lose. I recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good yarn, but where's the meat?
Review: I will continue to buy every book that this (too?) prolific writer produces. Why? Because you never know when you're going to get a true gem. I was looking forward to a meaty tale about a female vampire in Pandora, but what I found was a rather tame love story. True, Pandora is a strong, willful female and an interesting character in her own right. That and the close-up look at the young Marius was worth the read. But surely Anne had something more in mind when she named this female vampire Pandora. I'm confident that I am not alone in thinking we would get the "inside story" on the legend of Pandora's box. What happened to that tale? I'm now happily deep in The Vampire Armand and look forward to many more of Anne's books. Hopefully, they will be more substantial than Pandora.
