Summary: Will the Real Anne Rice Please Start Writing?
Review: What was that? It bore no resemblance to the first four Vampire Chronicles, and was bogged down in Ms. Rice's obvious struggles with her Catholic upbringing. Spare us. Since "Memnoch," a thoroughly loathesome tale, Ms. Rice has forgotten how to tell a story and spends too much time indulging herself at the expense of her characters. What were once richly-drawn characters full of lively interest, are now whiny, wandering, bores. I'm not reading another of her novels until she returns Lestat to himself. What did he ever do to her to deserve such treatment?

Summary: It was good, but it could have been better...
Review: I was very excited to read Armand's story because I had just finished Pandora, I wanted to know more about Armand, the mistery child, and his relationship to Marius. But Armand's storytelling is somehow weak and the book is not a turnpager as Pandora is... Still it is a pretty good book, the reader begins to understand Armand's behavior in previous novels and somehow forgives him for Claudia's death. However, it is still a pretty difficult to love character and his personality is febble, he has a lot of work to do; but Anne Rice does a pretty good job considering the difficult child that has to describe...

Summary: Mediocre...very disappointed.
Review: There was too much reference to the other books. I prefer to relate to the other books and characters on my own. To read the words 'if you read...' in relationship to a previous book is extremely annoying.

Summary: Another enjoyable book!
Review: This was a good read as well as all of the others in the Vampire series. Anne Rice once again makes one envision the characters and their surroundings. Her attention to detail is impressive as always. I'll never bore of the series. Although I must say that "The Witching Hour" and others in the Lasher series have made a long lasting impression and I'll re-read them time and time again. Thanks Anne for letting us be there with you.

Summary: I want the old Anne Rice back!
Review: I can hardly believe that the first three books of the Vampire Chronicles were written by the same author of the latest three. When i read Interview, and Lestat and Queen, I fell in love with the characters as well as Ms Rice's story telling talents. I don't understand how her writing could have changed so much. It doesn't seem as if the first 3 books were written by the same person that wrote this boring, drawn-out, plot-less story. It doesn't work Anne. Please, give us more of the interesting, easy to love stories like you used to! And why must you ruin our respect and love for these characters by telling us about child molestation, which is what goes on in here. I don't get, how the best books I have ever read (the first three), could be written by the same author of this latest disaster.

Summary: Keep em' comin', Anne!!!!
Review: His life might not have been as "heroic" as Lestat's , but it still kept me on the edge of my seat. Anne's use of imagery made me feel like I was riding on this "angel-of-the-dark's" left wing.

Summary: it was only OK
Review: I thought this book was OK compared to the others she has written, it wasn't as much fun to read, easpecially at the beginning, it was kinda strange until armand was changed into a vampire, then it gotta little better, I still think her other work, like the vampire lestat(my favorite) is still many times better than this one! ~*Stacy*~

Summary: "What is it ?" (to be said with a Yiddish inflection)
Review: I did not know what to make of this. I simply put the book away after reading about twenty pages or so. I loved the first book in this series, Interview with a Vampire, and to a lesser extent, some of the later books in the series. However, the series has long ago played itself out. The most recent books have been, well . . . bad . . . and are getting more so with each new publication. This book, in particular, did not tell a good story and seems to focus primarily on the physical and emotional intimacy between and among men. While I have no trouble at all with the male intimacy displayed by Ms. Rice in prior novels, this book goes overboard: I felt like I was reading an extended diatribe about two, perhaps three or four, men making love. I just simply lost interest. Like a punch-drunk fighter, Ms. Rice continues to crank out the never-ending Vampire Chronicles. The earlier books in this serier were like Ali versus Liston, Ali versus Frazier, Ali versus Foreman--fresh, exciting, strong and intensely interesting; these most recent books are more akin to Ali versus Spinks or Ali versus Holmes--as fights, tired and played out disasters. (No disrespect intended toward the greatest fighter of all time) Ms. Rice continues to "beat the hell out of" a tired old concept. Ms. Rice . . . PLEASE STOP!

Summary: Her worst book to date.
Review: Extremely weak plot with very little content

Summary: Will the real Anne Rice please write something??
Review: This book was choppy and read like a dime store romance/porn novel. The highlight of this book was the concluding parts and the final page. Read this only to keep up with the Vampire Chronicles.
