Rating: Summary: The Absolute Best Novel I Have Ever Read Review: This is a novel I have reread numerous times. It is a wonderful time spanning work of art. Even though it spans 4 centuries, Rice keeps the flow moving so evenly that you never seem to get lost. The characters are so well written that they seem to live on long after you have finished the book.This book is very long but the closer I came to the end the more I wanted the story to continue. Fortunately Rice has written several more Mayfair witches chronicles. Although none of the sequels had the intensity that The Witching Hour possesed, they are each well worth reading.
Rating: Summary: the best book ever written. Review: to put it simply, i have read this book 4 times. i have passed this book on to several friends, with the promise that they return it. i want more of the mayfair witches.
Rating: Summary: It's an intelligent book Review: The story keeps you reading and it doesn't let you go. It's incredible! after a while, you start to believe in the stoy, you go within the book. Ann Rice is a genious.
Rating: Summary: Classic time-away-from-life reading experience Review: Before I read "The Witching Hour", I thought "The Vampire Lestat" was my favorite book by Anne Rice. Before TVL, it was "The Feast of All Saints." She keeps outdoing herself and making me a liar in the process! This book provided the most classic experience for the avid reader: being transported into another realm and deeply knowing and loving real characters. And feeling the mourning and loss when the book inevitably ends. My husband felt I was unreachable during the time I spent enthralled with this book. I was! One of my five favorite books of all time, and not the only one by her on the list.
Rating: Summary: CAN'T BE BETTER ! Review: I don't know about you but I think this book is the best thing anyone could get. At first I read this book, becouse I didn't have anything to do. It is realy the best spellbinding book ans I really can't find words to explain it. Best book!
Rating: Summary: There's not enough stars in the sky to give this book! Review: This is my all-time favorite book, I love it completely, every single word. I don't think it moved slowly at all, and I was fascinated throughout. I have read this novel probably seven or eight times, and considering how long it is, I think that alone shows how highly I regard this book. The character of Rowan Mayfair is a wonderful protagonist. She's the perfect modern woman-has a career, goals, but is still looking for true love. She and Michael make the ideal couple, but after all, they were supposed to end up together, weren't they? Lasher is a wonderful demon---he only wants to be loved (and to be human, but that's another story). I would recommend this book to every person, no matter what kind of books they like. It touched me that much.
Rating: Summary: decadent, sensual, bewitching Review: This is Anne Rice at her best. The writing is superb.This book will be one of the best classics. Sit down, be a guest of the Mayfair witches and let Lasher be your guide !
Rating: Summary: AWESOME READING! Review: Anne Rice if you are reading this, please come out with the sequel to Taltos. I read The Witching Hour, Lasher and Taltos about 4 years ago and I can't let go of the family. Please consider! You owe it to your loyal readers... Don't leave us hanging like this.
Rating: Summary: Anne Rice at her very best ! Review: An absolute must not only for devoted fans but for anyone with a fasination for history,witchcraft,or genealogy.The file on the Mayfair witches,dating back 13 generations will tantalize anyone who is having a hard time tracing their own family back more than a hundred years.By far the best of her Mayfair books to date,you won't be able to put it down!
Rating: Summary: Great Detail and Description-Characters Came Alive Review: Though this book took me a while to get started (two months), once I had a break from the college workload and got into it I was hooked. There is nothing more fascinating than a novel that travels through intertwining generations. Rice creates characters unlike any I have ever read in an other novelist in this genre (w/ the possible exception of King's "The Stand") I am neglecting my coursework in favor of reading "Lasher" at the moment, and am only glad spring break is next week so I can "Taltos" out of my system before my GPA goes down.
