Summary: Exciting story!
Review: This is my first Anne Rice novel. I truly enjoyed it. Although the beginning was slow, I was intrigued with Azriel's story after he was made into the Servant. I would have liked to have seen more development of Esther, Rachel and Nathan. What struck a chord with me was the realism of the Minders cult, especially in light of current cult activities prevalent today. Servant of the Bones is a story of evil tempered with redemption.

Summary: an easy read
Review: I read the book in one day. Of course I was on vacation and had nothing better to do, but still, the television was off duty that day, and I went to bed late, just to finish Azriel's story. Especially the chapters in which he is cooked in solid gold characterized the book as a genuine Anne Rice. Not a masterpiece, but certainly exciting....

Summary: Ok but not as good as the Vampire ones.
Review: The first books of Rice I read were IWTV, TVL, QOTD etc which were AMAZING UNPUT- DOWNABLE MASTERPIECES! I found her books about the Mayfairs brilliant too. With SOTB, I took a long time to get on to it. I had to make sure that I kept reading so I did not lose interest, this has never happened with any of her other books. It was a little disapointing in my view, (because her other stuff has been SO brilliant) but it was still good

Summary: Definitely not one of Anne Rice's best works.
Review: Anne Rice should stick to vampires. This book was very weak in characterization, except for Azriel, and the plot was ludicrous. It appears to me that the author keeps trying to make each book she writes more unbelievable and gruesome than the next. I have not cared for any of her books after the Vampire Chronicles and The Mummy. The Mayfair witches series deteriorated rapidly. Please Anne, this book is not worthy of a sequel. Where is the sequel to The Mummy, a much more interesting and enjoyable novel?

Summary: I wash my hands off Anne Rice!!!
Review: This is definitely the last book I read, no more Anne Rice for me folks!. Every new book she has just keeps getting worse and worse. She's what you might call a bad investment.

Summary: No... Again?!
Review: I read all of Anne's books so far. But this one is the worst. It wasn't like Anne's work at all. It's worse than "Memnoch". But if you're blind fan of Anne Rice, read it.

Summary: What a male-chauvinistic piece of trash
Review: My first impression of this book was that it appeared to be highly sexist and male chauvinistic. Yet I read on hoping somehow that it would improve. It didn't. First of all, there were almost no female characters in it whatsoever, and the few that are in it are either victims or sexual objects. There is the daughter Esther, whom we never get to know because she has already been murdered. All we know of her is that she is innocent and pure. Then there is her mother Rachel, who is only in the book a short while before she throws herself off the balconly to escape her illness. There are also the nameless harlots, some of which the main character Azriel "shares" with his father. And of course there is the witch responsible for creating Azriel, and who immediately dies afterwards. She is portrayed as an idiot, vastly inferior to the other sorcerors in the book. Oh yeah, there's also this woman Sarah who is bewildered and doesn't understand what's going on. Every single other character is male. But the point is, none of the women in the book have any responsibilities whatsoever, and all are passive characters, with the exception of the idiot witch. In one scene, all of the women are ushered out of the room so that the "elders" can discuss among themselves. What, are there no women elders? Every character simply assumes that women have no authority or judgement. There is also one love scene in the book between Azriel and the dying Rachel. It is very sadistic. Afterwards, Rachel throws herself off the balcony. Apparently once she had satisfied Azriel's lust there was no further use for her in the plot. In short, this is a man's book written by a woman. The story it tells is a man's story in a very male world. By writing this book Anne Rice does a disgrace to all women by promoting and validating male chauvinism as well as sexism. But then that is hardly surprising considering it was published by Knopf, the publisher of "American Psycho", a violent in! sult to all women.

Summary: A wonderful book. Buy it today!
Review: This is a delicious read! Azriel made me feel like I had been in a desert for a month, and through Azriel's eyes I drank the beauty of the world that we all take for granted.

Summary: Hmm...
Review: A generally ok book. It'd be better if it didnt go on so much- it got kinda tedious after a while. And what was the deal with Azriel sleeping with Belkin's dying wife? That bit was totally pointless and rather boring too.
