There is no doubt that A.R. is a talented and oftimes spectacular writer, but to say that Memnoch was anything but regurgitation is ludicrous...

Anne Rice is the most intriguing writer of her time. She captures the reader's mind right away and always has them urging for the truth to come but she then takes you elsewhere. It's so enthralling! If only I could write like her!

I have already finished reading the Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of The Mayfair Witches. These are some of the most gruesomely enthralling ingenious books that I have ever read! Anne Rice is clearly the female version of Stephen King. It's absolutely amazing!

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles is one of the best books I have read in awhile. But I think I like the movie better, you can visulalize things better. Either way it's a very good story line.

I love them all, the passion, fury, happiness, despair that is in each of these books...is so romantic...almost makes you wish Lestat were near you, getting ready to take you in his arms....

Right now I am reading Memnoch the Devil and loving it, sorry McDonald's for taking the catch frase but it fits. Anne Rice sucsessfully pulls it off, she takes you from Heaven to Hell without sounding corny, making the Devil and God normal people throughtout most of the book and not a hellish demon or a mythical angel.

Hi, I've never read any of her books and actually just heard of her now, but from reading her discussion, I've become very interested in trying her. What book from which series should I start? Or does it not really matter?

id start with interview with the vampire if i were you. its the first in the vampire chronicles.

Has anyone noticed its very hard to get a copy of the tale of the body theif?

>>By Caitlyn   (Sunday, 19 Dec 2004 15:35)



Ok, thanks. I guess that's my next book to read.
Oh, sorry Wednesday for taking your little signature. Was that copyrighted or anything, because I really like it lol.

I enjoy the tension she creates in the stories. The way she describes things. Often times it feels that I am there while things are happening. Personally I enjoy her stories on the Mayfair Witches. I have read the Witching Hour and Lasher. But havent found the time to get around to Taltos. The vampire chronicles are lovely work aswell.

I've read lots of Anne's books and I do have to admit that Memnoch the Devil is so far the best one, makes you understand things much easier and surprisingly it all makes sense (mind you I'm not a religious person).
There's lots of her books, I have a new one called Blood Canticle, so I'm wondering how that goes...as I've heard, that is a bit different.
But hey, Violin was different and confusing, but at the end it all made sense...it's very well done how she "pulls the thread" right till the end....
The Servant of bones is the other one I would suggest, I'd love to get Vampire Lestat as I surely wish he was alive and I'd let him suck on my neck as often as he would want +) especially if he looked like in the movie Queen of the damned....I'm damned too, I watched it like 7 times just because of Lestat...hehehehe....
Anyway, I love how other people love her books and I hope she'll produce more of Vampire chronicles, because I don't want to part with them.

So long, sweet darlings...

Anne Rice is the only author who produces above average excellent literary works all other authors produce trash in comparison i wish she would write more books i am so very tired of reading trash

>>By MetalBladeRecords   (Thursday, 10 Feb 2005 16:42)



I've tried, and I'm not going to say it's trash, but I will say that it wan't worth the 10$ I spent on Interview with the Vampire. I found her style of writing rather tedious and I wasn't very satisfied with the plot. I thought they were sort of boring as she described every last unimportant detail of the setting and of the characters. I'm not going to get into any heated discussions with anyone about she's the best, I'm just going to leave there and not name more of the flaws within these flaw-filled pages so as to not anger her fans more than I have already. I guess I learned a lesson to not believe 14-year-old's opinions on a book before I go out and buy it. I've already sold to a used book store.
Sorry to the die-hard fans, Urbane.

>>By Urbane   (Friday, 11 Feb 2005 22:14)



its not just 14 year olds who like anne rice im 20 and i have met people much older than that who enjoy anne rice the people who cant enjoy her writings probably have a low intellect and do not understand how much more alive and vivid her writing is

>>By MetalBladeRecords   (Monday, 14 Feb 2005 20:01)



THANK YOU METALBLADE!!!

Anne Rice is wonderful....if she left out all the details...you'd leave completely unsatisfied.....

>>By Lita   (Wednesday, 9 Mar 2005 20:19)



Your welcome

anne rice is the best author their is anyone here read blood canticle yet?

>>By MetalBladeRecords   (Tuesday, 15 Mar 2005 18:45)



Many times....It's a beautiful tale, but I feel like the story is not finished at the end of it

>>By Lita   (Thursday, 24 Mar 2005 17:07)



I think Anne Rice is a matter of taste! you love her or you don't. i love her! i have nearly all her books but i know people who don't who are on the same intellect level as me!

>>By tortallan-chic   (Thursday, 14 Apr 2005 09:27)



i love anne rice! i love lestat even more. the character lestat is so tragic and beautiful and difficult to read about yet so absorbing and intoxicating, her way of making vampires seem so real is pretty creepy but amazing as well. her character development is unmatched and she writes the sexiest books of our time.

>>By mellowdreamer   (Saturday, 6 Aug 2005 01:29)



Hey doesn't look like anyone has been chattin much lately here. Well anyways, my name is Sean as you might be able to figure out. I am a huge fan of Anne Rice and have read almost all the books she has written and am anxious to see some new stuff. I recently heard of her new book call Christ Our Lord: Escape From Egypt it's told from Jesus' point of view about his life..... I was wondering if any of you had an opinion on what you think it will be like or if you think it will be any good. I am sure excited for it!

>>By SeAnLu   (Tuesday, 23 Aug 2005 04:30)



for the love of lestat someone write in here!

>>By SeAnLu   (Friday, 26 Aug 2005 01:26)



I've only read interview the vampire but i thought that was very well writen the story was also uniqe...

>>By pinkit2   (Wednesday, 31 Aug 2005 17:51)



Interview with the Vampire is a good book, but if you enjoyed her style of writing or the atmosphere of the book then you will love The Vampire Lestat... Its amazing plz read it

>>By SeAnLu   (Thursday, 1 Sep 2005 02:55)



i love Anne Rice, she got me reading, i never really read anything, till i found her :)

i love Lestat, he has to be my fave, just like so many other peoples, im sure.

i dont have a fave book tho, they are all so good.
i havent finished all the vampire ones yet tho, have about 2 or 3 more to read.

>>By nite nite   (Friday, 13 Jan 2006 01:51)



I think MetalBladeRecords is the wrongest person who's posted here.
Having read Interview With the Vampire (and started The Vampire Lestat) I think Anne Rice is a wonderful author. The style of writing fits perfectly for the setting, it's really beautifully gothic stuff. And I feel like I know Louis so well it's uncanny.
But to say that she's the only author worth reading and everything else is trash, well you're just wrong.

>>By Flagg   (Tuesday, 7 Mar 2006 15:05)



And I didn't even say anything to provoke that. I wonder, has he read anything other than Anne Rice?

I neve rsaid she was really bad, i said I didn't find her style enjoyable.

I'm sure he's read and enjoyed at least a few other authors...

>>By Urbane   (Monday, 13 Mar 2006 03:49)



I hope that the other books are better than Interview with the Vampire, because I found the narrative appallingly primitive. I can see by this site that it is the characters people go for and not the writing style. I almost want to read another of the chronicles just to find out, but I do not know if I have that kind of patience. I feel I could find just as much pain and agony and offence to the English language by reading a bad fanfic as I could by reading Anne Rice. With such a seemingly pretentious attitude, should I really bother trying to read another Anne Rice novel? Did her style improve with time? In that first book I really feel like she tried way too hard (although it apparently worked to bring her a cult following).

>>By CÆT   (Tuesday, 14 Mar 2006 19:40)



You get so used to agreeing to disagree on these message boards. I have to say I disagree with you entirely, I think the style Interview... is written in is beautiful. I also think the style it's written in and the character of Louis are linked, in fact they're dependant on eachother, since it is Louis telling the story, and if it was told in a different style he would be a different character.
And I think in this book the characters are the whole point anyway, which might be why it's the characters we go for.

>>By Flagg   (Wednesday, 15 Mar 2006 21:19)



Anne Rice is more pulp fiction than literature and her work has got to be a bit repetitious and tedious. Still, I really did enjoy interview, and Vampire Lestat in a guilty pleasure sort of way and I apreciate them for what they are. She should have stopped with the Vampire Chronicles after the first two or three, they just went downhill after that.
