Newest Review: ... the haunts of New Orleans with a ghostly atmosphere that takes your breath away. Although the initial shock of finding ... more

 ... sympathy with the Vampire Lestat in his solitude i soon felt more comfortable the more i read on. Soon the characters come together, like a family all with their black sheep, making me realise how brotherly Anne envisages this world and it really does break all the stereotypes given to the myth of Vampires. Lestat who has a brotherly, lover, father relationship with his fledglings soon leaves them to begin a suspenseful journey with the devil himself. If you are a particularly religious person you may see this book as bl...more

I am rather surprised that Anne Rice hasn’t already been hung by a mob of religious zealots, or been branded a ‘devil on earth’ by the Pope for her unique and often disturbing novel, ‘Memnoch the Devil.’ For the uninitiated, or for those who haven’t seen either ‘Interview with the Vampire’ or ‘Queen of the Damned’ it’s broadly about vampires (come on, I’m not going to do a complete synopsis of the story so far!).

Lestat goes to hell. When I first heard about the premise for this book, I laughed - what else could the brat Prince do having unconvered the secrets of vampirism, but attempt to unlock the truth about heaven, hell, god, the devil and creation? Anne Rice's fifth Vampire Chronical is am ambitious piece indeed. (I strongly recomend that you read the other four before trying this, as there are too many long standing characters and it just isn't going to make much sense otherwise.

This is a novel, which shall have you questioning the very foundations of your religion, full stop. Although Anne Rice's favourite antagonist is not a major player in the novel, this surprisingly is not a downfall of the novel and I believe readers shall event thrive from this fact as Anne Rice continues to grow as an author? It was always going to be a hard and treacherous road when undertaking the desire to describe and challenge various religious beliefs to which the very foundation of our society is built upon. I don't know how but Anne Rice tackles the challenge set with class and sophistication. The plot of the novel is one which ...
