Summary: horrible book!
Review: Yes,I read it recently and it was such a chore going from page to page only to be reading it with pointless talks of God and Angels! I have no offense against any religions, but I'm not Catholic and i'm just getting very tired of hearing how in this book, it seems to me, being Catholic is the only right way. Seriously, I also have other problems with the book besides religion. The book starts out great at the beginning, but then i'm beginning to now notice same character repetition, and same plot repetition. Is it me, or does it seem to me that starting with Vampire Lestat and a few other books I read that the characters who become vampires are the last of their families with no future generations to succeed them? That same process i notice in Pandora and in Lestat. Literally I'm just tired of hearing how much Anne Rice's characters love Jesus and all that, I could stand it in Interview, Lestat and a few others, but please, enough is enough, and if you want to have me back as your fan please make some of the characters different religions and backgrounds and personalities. because it also seems that the people who become vampires (within exception of Pandora) are Christian. I'm glad that once and for all, this book cured me of Anne Rice fixation. Is it me or 90% of vampires are gay or bisexual in her books?

Summary: Warm but not Hot
Review: This book was very tame compared to the rest of Vampire Chronicles. I couldn't buy that the angels couldn't foresee that Vittorio would not kill Ursula. I knew this was where the plot was developing all along!One of the weaker titles in the Vampire Chronicles. Read, only if you are a diehard fan of Anne Rice.

Summary: Will the Real Anne Rice Please Stand Up?
Review: Although a fan of Anne Rice's early Vampire Chronicles (first 3 were the best - 4 & 5 were ok), I am thoroughly convinced that Vittorio was written by Mrs. Rice's housecat. The language is far to simple, the plot far too stereotypical and boring, and the book does not measure into the same league as earlier works. ...

Summary: Where in the *** did he come from?
Review: Out of all the Anne Rice books that I have ever read , this book is the only one that I have read only once and never touched again. Not meaning to be harsh, but I feel that this book is a little lame. First of all, who is he and what does he have to do with any of vampire characters that we(Anne Rice fans) know and love? Nothing. When I read the book , he felt like a stranger to me,a feeling that I have never felt before with any of the other vampire books. I personally think that Anne Rice should stick to writing about the vampires that we are familiar with instead of going off and writing about other immortals that have no relations to the vampire chronicles. I really don"t know what possessed her to create a character such as this one, who sees things and falls for vampires who kill his family(I hope that is not giving away too much). Plus, the ending was pretty stupid. I really sorry that I have to be a reaper for the ugly truth, but Anne Rice's recent works have not been up to par.

Summary: Something new for once
Review: To fight off a wave of bad reviewers is easy simply because if you look at it from this angle, it's a truly amazing change of pace for our beloved Queen of the Vampires. For once this is a vampire who never mentions the name Lestat, or the words Dark Trick. We're brought into the perspective of a different vampire of a different tribe, and unlike the others, a different kind of past. Vittorio's family is destroyed by vampires, and as irony would have it, he himself is tricked into immortality by the woman he falls in love with. The story is both tragic and compelling at the same time, with conflict on every page, unlike the first four chronicles where the conflict starts up then peters out for a couple of pages, Vittorio provides us with nonstop horror and excitement.

Summary: another twist to vampires...
Review: I generaly am picky about vampire tales, in that they all seem the same but this one has a new way to put it. I will not tell you about it thus ruining it but i will say that it is full of creativity through the main character and his hate and love. Enjoy.

Summary: New vampire
Review: This book is not the best of her vampire chronicles by any means to me. It is entertaining, but lacks the depth of her other vampire chronicles.

Summary: A Gateway through Time
Review: Rice vividly gives us a taste of ancient Italy...alive with the painters and artists that made those times unique and beautiful. The book dazzles you as she uses her words to show you how it used to be in Italy. As for Vittorio, you will grow to love him, especially after reading his past and what he has been through. He is sort of like Louis, having humanity to him more so than the other vampires. Give it a try. I think it would have been more exciting with less descriptions and more action or weirdness, but it was good. I fairly enjoyed it, it was a tad bit better than Pandora.

Summary: One of her best
Review: It had to be my dearest Anne. The tale of Vittorio is one of her best, I trully recomend it. It's anne's version of romeo and Juliet, with a great ending, lots of Strange vampires and angels.

Summary: Finally....
Review: After the last couple Anne Rice disappointments this one is actually worth the read.
