Servant of the Bones

Rating:
Summary: Sensual, excellent, enticing, very exciting
Review: I loved this book. It was very interesting to follow Azriel through history. It is a great book for anyone enjoys history, sensuality, love and of course the supernatural.

Rating:
Summary: Not the best I've read this year, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Review: You can say one thing about Anne Rice--she's true to her erotica beginnings. This book exudes lust and sensual indulgence. The sexual undertones don't distract from the story though. It was a good read for a couple of nights.

Summary: It was a very confusing and boring novel
Review: I love Anne Rice novels. I couldn't put the Witching Hours down. I read it in 3 days. I also loved Cry to Heaven, and I did read the Sleeping Beauty novels, they weren't my favorite, but I did like them. But, Servant of the Bones had a very boring beginning, which was very hard to get through. Once I did get through the beginning the story started to become interesting, but then it took to long to get to another interesting point. I felt like I was reading and reading nothing to get to something interesting. I was very disappointed in this novel and I couldn't finish it. But, not every song on a C.D. is great. Most of the time you only get one good song off of a C.D.. If every author could write a top book, they would be perfect and we all know nobody is perfect. Anne Rice has done an awesome job on most of her books.

Summary: biblicly inspiring.
Review: This was one of the most interesting and different books. This book brings into question the significences of life and the after life. Once you start it you can't stop.

Rating:
Summary: People actually finished it?
Review: I got to chapter 7 and I could not go on any longer. I had no idea what was going on and I would have kept going , but I feared that I would get more lost than I already was further down the line. I'll try it again some other time, but I could not do it.

Summary: I liked the book very much, but the end was a tad ubrupt.
Review: This was the first book I have ever read by Anne Rice. The main body of the novel was exceptional. She made everything seem so real, vivid, beautiful...I could smell and taste and see everything so completely. It was purely magical. Azriel is a character I was very much drawn to, he was beautiful and full of kindness, yet very mysterious. The only fault I find in it is that the conclusion/resolution took place in such a brief amount of time. I was led up to the climax steadily, then dropped off like a sack of potatoes. But other than that, I truly enjoyed this novel. Well Done, Anne Rice.

Summary: its about abook which has potential to be a good book but...
Review: At the start the book was quite BORING but it gets interesting later.The only thing it lacks is character .Also it is a little long winded and does not go anywhere.

Rating:
Summary: Boring Comic Book
Review: I received this book as a gift and thought it would be a some good eye gum for before bed. It took me 100 pages to find out this book was neither going anywhere nor telling me anything. Some fault can be blamed on that I was reading "Cold Mountain" concurrently. What a vast vast difference good writing makes.

Review: GOOD BOOK

Rating:
Summary: UNFULFILLING
Review: I thought this book had a very good story topic, full of potential, but its awkward telling is so jarring that it's nearly impossible to read. What little descriptive character this book has seems out of place and forced. Its as if the editor of the book handed it back to Ms. Rice after reading it and told her to "...make it more descriptive..." which she tried to do by merely adding quasi-descriptive comments to the existing text without regard for transition or context values. In addition to this problem, the book suffers from a disjointed feel, as if it hasn't been outlined correctly. These are major failings in my opinion and made the reading of the book so distasteful that I couldn't finish it. In the future I hope that she and her editor are both in more professional frames of mind for her next book.
