Summary: Ann Rice at her Best (as always)
Review: I am still reading "Sevant of the Bones" But so far it is splinded. Ann Rice is truely brilliant. She has the ability to pull you into the book. You literally can't put it down. This book like her others is Magnificent. I hope to see this book turn into a chronical.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you like Rice's style, you'll love this book!
Review: I'm a huge Anne Rice fan, and she didn't let me down with this book. I will admit that this book started out a little slow, but it definitely picked up. The story was well developed and full of history that I love to see added to fiction. It adds a sense of realism that I can't resist. I definitely reccommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The agony of climbing up Heaven
Review: Melted into gold and released out of his body in the form of a spirit, Azriel spans centuries longing to climb the Stairway to Heaven. Reluctant to be the Servant of the Bones he slays every master who calls him forth until the day he inexplicably appears in present-day New York, witnessing a murder and making himself committed to get it solved. Past and present weaves in and out, shaping an absorbing atmosphere. As richly descriptive and captivating as every book should be, Anne Rice unfolds a new character, cherishable and tenacious, enriching pages and pages of good reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I hope this is a beginning to a new series...
Review: I read it in two days. I love Ann Rice's style. The way she mixes ancient history, magic, religion and mythlogy, leads one to wonder if such beings and rules exist. I am in love with the main character "Azriel", who is the "Servant of the Bones", and hope to follow him in future adventures. I think I even like him better than "Lestat" of the Vampire Chronicals (could be because I've read all those already and hunger for more of her books). I recommend this to all Anne Rice fans and more.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not up to Rice's usual standards
Review: I am a huge Anne Rice fan. I thought that her Vampire Chronicles were brilliant, even the controversial Memnoch. Her Mayfair series was extremely enjoyable. Sad to say I had to struggle through this book, which is absolutely unheard of with an Anne Rice Novel. Glad to see she is back to her old self with Pandora and Armand.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: plodding, pedantic, simply awful
Review: Don't waste your money. My boss suggested I read Anne Rice, so I tried. I really tried. In truth, I could only swallow about 2/3 of it before tossing it in the garbage. The characters are very poorly developed; the plot doesn't go anywhere; the allusions to Jewish heritage are empty, with no real reference to the very real ghosts of that heritage; the editing is terrible with inconsistent formatting. Perhaps it would have worked as a short story, but certainly not as long, long novel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Her next movie?
Review: Anne Rice uses the same technique as in her famous book "Interview With A Vampire".

The story begins in today's time as Azriel tells his story so it may be put in print. Azriel begins with his death and the curse which turned him into the Servant of the Bones... his bones. It continues to tell of his Masters and all he learned from them.

Somehow he is summoned in today's time to witness the murdering of a lady by three men with ice picks. Furious, he catches the three and kills them before she is fully dead and may know she is avenged. But WHO had summoned him? Why? Who was the Master?

***Another winner for this author! I only wish she had changed her style some. It was TOO MUCH like Interview With A Vampire. I was enthralled through the whole story. Who knows? This will perhaps be her next movie.***

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This books is awful.
Review: Don't waste your money. This book is really terrible, very boring, and pointless. The poetry is excruciating.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Typical Anne Rice
Review: In this book, Anne Rice continues with her vulnerable male character-types, and creates Azriel, whom you can't help but love. Somehow, this book seems darker than the Vampire Chronicles, and somehow more despair-ridden. Of course, I loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it starts slow but draws you in as you go along.Loved it.
Review: I found this book to be simply marvelous. It started out slow but I was drawn into it and my imagination took flight.The book takes many suprising turns and keeps you enthrawled wanting to know more.This book I could not put down till finished.It has been 6 months since I read this book and have yet to find another to keep my mind as captivated as this one did me.I reccomend it wholeheartedly.
