Rating: Summary: My favorite Review: I first read Belinda when I was 15, kind of precocious, and wishing that I could find an older man who would love me the way Jeremy loved Belinda. Belinda helped me live out my fantasy in a way. I'm a little bit older now and never found my older man, but this book still is an outlet for that teenage fantasy. I've read it three times so far and everytime, I never want it to end.
Rating: Summary: At times I thought I'd stop reading it, but I finished it... Review: This book is excellent. It isn't overly-analytical as is Rice's Vampire Chronicles. It delves into the human psyche, and how we weak humans deal with forbidden love. The book isn't too steamy, which I liked, and it combines some mystery as well. For example, 'Where did Belinda Come from?," "Is that her real name?," "What's her connection to all those film magazines?"However, the problem I had with this book was that, at times, I found the plot a little slow. There is some unnecessary jibberish in a fight over film and scandals between Jeremy Walker, and his once gay lover, the 62-year old, Alex. But the plot is involving enough to where one doesn't fall into boredom too quickly. It's another great work by a great author of supernatural thriller and contemporary erotic and historic fiction.
Rating: Summary: Amazing and unable to put down Review: This was by far one of the most interesting and amazing novels I have ever read. I have not read Anne Rice at all, except maybe seeing a movie based on one of her books, but this novel was incredible. I bought it on a whim and was amazed at how engrossing it was. The characters are incredible detailed and relatable to, and the love they had for one another was amazing as well. A great read for anyone who ever wants to fall in love.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Belinda Review: I thought the book was amazing I actually couldn't put the book down I sometimes felt as I was Belinda and in love with Jeremy the love that they shared was incredible I loved the book I have read it at least a hundred times it is my favorite book the they that Belinda was so independent was also great and the love Jeremy had for her is unlike no other love!!! I love the book and I wish someday I have a love like Jeremy and Belinda did .
Rating: Summary: i couldnt *force* myself to finish this one Review: ive never read anne rice before and i will never read her again. how belinda (a child) is able to hold the attention of jeremy (an adult?) is just beyond me. i forced myself to pick this book up, never being one to start something and not finish it, but i finally decided this one wasnt worth my time!
Rating: Summary: You will not want to put it down...ever Review: Although I found Exit to Eden a more graphic form of erotica, this one leaves you just as breathless. At times it made me feel guilty for letting it excite me, but then I found myself helpless to their desire. If you are a fan of forbidden love, this book is a must for you...
Rating: Summary: Amazing. Review: A very surprising work from Anne Rice. She proves that she can not only take us into the darkest realms of the immortal, she can also take us into the darkest realms of the mortal. But at the same time Belinda was a very sweet portrayal of a love between two people no matter what the age. I liked it alot.
Rating: Summary: Rice's take on Lolita? Review: Perhaps... but she does a good job of weaving her story as only she knows how to do. The illicitness of the relationship between Belinda and Jeremy keeps things hot and interesting, that and the overwhelming desire to find out who this girl is! Rice does a good job of playing up her age, making you feel guilty for desiring her. I can't think of many authors who could pull this kind of book off. It touches that part in all of us that desires to thumb it's nose at taboo
Rating: Summary: Fantastically erotic and universal Review: Belinda was a most extrodinary novel with a very lusty and intrigueing background. I challenge anyone who has read the book and was unsatisfied both emotionally and physically to read it again and give it a second chance and if they are not yet satisfied then I believe that they need to see a psyciatrist for a little reajustment to their sex life!!!!! My hats off to Anne and may she contiue to write something similar!
Rating: Summary: tasteful erotica Review: Tastefully written erotica which is as spellbinding as hervampire chronicles. A prime and proper children's book illustrator isdrawn into the dark world of Belinda, a world of lust and intrigue. I own a hardcover copy and would not part with it. A definite must for any Anne Rice collections or avid reader.
