Rating: Summary: Great Book!! Review: This book is much better than other Anne Rice books! For one thing, the story is paced very well, unlike some other Anne books I've read where she could spend ten pages on (boring and unimportant) dialogue.This book is told in 3rd person, so you can get a sense of action, but you can also look intimately into the minds of the characters like it was told in first person. The descriptions are really great, and the characters are portrayed very well. I especially liked Elliot and kept on imagining him looking like Alan Rickman. :) Anyway, I read it and could NOT put it down! There's lots of romance, mystery, and horror. Once you get into it, the idea of immortality can be REALLY creepy. The Mummy is a welcome change from Anne's vampire works. Read it!
Rating: Summary: THE MUMMY ROCKS!!! Review: I am Ramses the damned. Once Ramses the great king of upper and lower Egypt and slayer of Hittites. So begins the inscription on the tomb door found by Lawrence Stratford. Then back in London reawakend by Julie, Lawrence's daughter Ramses gets involved in a murder and a romance. I've read this book about 5 times and never get tired of it. The characters and story are totally cool.
Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK ROCKS!! Review: a wonderfully seductive tale combining horror and romance. Taking place in Edwardian London for part 1 and for part 2 in Egypt.Characters that are dispicable and otherwise come together in this enthralling story.
Rating: Summary: You will LOVE this one... Review: I could not put this down! From the beginning right through until the final page, this book has quite obviously been well thought out and planned, dragging the secrets of ancient Egypt screaming into twentieth century London. It's also nice to see that Ramses is not an evil character - which is more than I can say for that crusty old Cleopatra! This is by far the best Anne Rice novel I've read so far. Character development is second to none and the voluptuous prose is completely addictive. It really is that good. You'll want the elixir of life so that you can read this over and over again!!
Rating: Summary: This book is the best, but when is she gonna write a sequel? Review: When I first read this book, I couldn't put it down. It is so great, and it's cool that the mummy in this book isn't evil! He's so sweet, I just love him! One thing that annoyed me though, is the fact that (as far as I know) Anne Rice hasn't written a sequel yet! With the way it ends, you know there's got to be more to come, but she's left readers hanging since the late 80's! (that is, if you read it that long ago, I'm only sixteen) Other than that, though, this book is great, and you will not regret reading it!!!
Rating: Summary: 5 star novel Review: This book is wonderful. Once I got into it I could not put it down. It gets you and it keeps you. One of the best books that Anne has written & I have almost every book she has written. It is even better that Interview with the Vampire which is really good. You get to the point where you like the Mummy and feel sorry for him.
Rating: Summary: The mummy or Ramses the Damned Review: I really enjoyed this novel. It had suspense, mystery and action! I have never read a novel by Anne Rice before and I must say that I found this book hard to put down. I was hooked from the very first page. I want to go to Egypt now.:)
Rating: Summary: The Best Rice Novel Review: I love to read Anne Rice, and this was my favorite of all of her books. What makes it so great is she takes actual people from history and adds a little fiction to their lives, and that is what made this story so intriguing for me. Ramses the Great was once the ruler of Egypt, and he wanted to live forever, so he drank the elixir of life. He later finds that immortality is more of a curse than a gift. He awakens after 2000 years of sleep to 1940 London, and he has new adventures in a new time that he does not understand. I highly recommend this book if you like Anne Rice.
Rating: Summary: Best Book I Have Read Review: This was the first book of Anne Rice's that I have ever read and I was not at all disappointed. It had everything from mystery, supense, history and of course the favorite love story. I hated to put it down, every chapter just made you want to read more. By far the best book and I am looking forward to reading more by this great author.
Rating: Summary: rather very mediocre Review: Having enjoyed her neurotic and interesting immortals in the Vampire chronicles and her bits about Egypt, I was (mistakenly) enthusiastic to read this one. Well, it is a simple potboiler, with two-dimensional characters and a rather flimsy plot. Even the evocations of history are flaccid and lack subtlety. I suspect that she is writing this junk as fast as she can and thinking that this is her moment to make some money so she will make as much as she can while she can. If you are seeking high-quality gothic horror, pass this one up. Howoever, it you don't particularly care and want a story that moves along, this is OK. It is strictly throw away. Not recommended.
