Summary: Disappointing mish-mash.
Review: Vampires, witches, ghosts, evil spirits, curses, cannibalism, Egyptian mummies, telepathy, telekinesis. Just when you thought Anne Rice had crammed just about everything she could into a book, she throws in feminism. This book is a spirited attempt to weave what seems to be a universal theory of all paranormal experience, but unfortunately, it doesn't all hang together. The new characters weren't particularly interesting or well drawn. As always, Lestat is a fascinating character. I would have been happy if half of the mumbo-jumbo floating around this book had been exorcised and more of Lestat put in. Another thing that annoyed me was the constant, repititious use of 'the twins'. Yes, we did get that the twins were at the crux of the story, but was it necessary to mention them on almost EVERY PAGE? After a while, it became a joke to turn the page and scan for those two words.

Summary: Summarization
Review: Another classic Anne Rice book featuring the ever enticing vampire Lestat. In this book Lestat encounters the mother and father of all vampires. A beautiful story that bends the mind with the plot twists. A must have for Vampire Chronicle fans.

Summary: This book is sooo unbelivably Yoko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I'm wearing knee high boots abd I just wanted to tell you that this book is the best book I have ever read. (And if Marilyn Manson reads this then he is the best and he is hot and I have read his autobiography entitled "The long hard road out of hell." And everyone should buy it. Anyway, I think You would really love this book Marilyn!!!!) Anyways, This book is crazy I love it so much. Anne you are the best writer ever. If you were the president then you would be Baberham Lincon. I hope you actually read this and know that I have Lestat in my dreams every night and I dream of him just like you say in the "queen of the damned", Coming to me and softly kissing me and talking to me about all the phillisophical questions I've wanted to know. (Pierre if you read this then you should "lay off those drugs Robbie")Thanks for being a smart person in a world full of mess! You have my vote Baberham!!!!:)

Summary: This book was amazing; the best of the vampire chronicles.
Review: Wow! This book was wonderful. From start to finish, I couldn't put it down. The storyline by itself would've been kind of silly, but Rice has a way with words and she uses her gift so skillfully as to make us believe in the world of the vampires and even make us pity Lestat for being in the way of Akasha's evil plan. So intricately woven are her words, one might find themself picturing exactly the tone of Akasha's skin or what the Miami skyline must look like to a vampire, one of the "living dead". Altogether, an astounding book and definitely the finest of the Vampire Chronicles.

Summary: A must-have!
Review: After Lestat becomes "Moiseur Rock star", he is captured by the infamous Akasha, the first vamp ever made. He has one hell of a trip, and while they are all in mortal(immortal?) danger, he becomes as powerful as the first brood. Not to mention that the whole history of the vamps is in there. Truly a must-have; I was captivated by every word!

Summary: You MUST read it yourself!
Review: Once one has read "Interview" and "Lestat," the only fathomable next step is to read "Queen." The characters are at their most beautiful and fascinating once one knows them and reads about them in this spellbinding tale of morality and domination. I have read few other works written with such passion for the story, the subject and the characters. I thought it thoroughly enjoying and am sure anyone else would as well, even if one hasn't read the previous installments.

Summary: One of Rice's best books. Amazing.
Review: "The Queen of the Damned" is one of Rice's most intricate, involving and altogether fascinating novels. It takes the reader 6000 years back in time, across continents, and through multiple points of view. It is a true epic. It is also a thoughtful meditation on evil. Real evil. It continues the story started in "The Vampire Lestat" (rather awkwardly, but more skillfully as the novel gains momentum.) Dozens of stories are interwoven, characters from previous novels are players as well as some new characters. At the heart of the novel is the rising of two ancient female vampires Akasha, the Queen, and Maharet one of a set of twin vampires opposed to the Queen and her plan for humanity. Okay, it sounds pretty silly but Rice uses what is basically a comic book plot and makes a fascinating story out of it. Another writer would shy away from the possibly "camp" elements of the story but Rice writes it with great fidelity to her characters and basically writes a great story that is not afraid of going over-the-top. She writes with a great fearlessness and almost an abandon. She's absolutely set on writing whatever the hell she wants. Here she muses on the nature of evil. She is not just writing about some kind of abstract comicbooks evil but she targets a very real and immediate kind of evil that is all about us. The evil of ideas out of control. The evil of disregard of human life. Anne Rice is definitely our greatest Romantic Writer, but here she reveals her gifts as one of our strongest humanistic voices. This from a "comic booky" set up. This is a surprisingly potent novel.

Summary: A cluster of Vamps fight with an attitude!
Review: Although Anne Rice sometimes focuses of femininity and homosexuality, she does write horror as well as King or Lumley. And "Queen Of The Damned" is a top of the crop! It has everyone in it: Lestat, Louis, Gabrielle, Pandora, Armand, I mean the whole gang, and to see them go against the Mother of All Vampires, Akasha ,is just pure action. If you are just starting the Vampire Chronicles(which I have a few months ago), once you reach this you are in for a blood-pumping ride!

Summary: The ENDING SUCKED
Review: I didn't like it at all. It was so short, probably around a paragraph?????? I was really disappointed. The story was good. I really liked the plot. I even liked Akasha, and we all want to thank her for making Lestat the most powerful Vampire of all! But yeah, the ending sucked. Her head should of just FALLEN off, if it was going to end the way it did. Sorry if I spoiled it, but oh well.
