Didn’t Like It “Wouldn't open this book again on a dare. Gawd, how disappointing. Here you have a vampire who is thousands of years old, who, unlike Akasha, Mekare and Enkil, apparently kept her sanity and managed to adapt as times changed, and all you get of her 'unlife story' is a drippy, unconvincing love...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Wouldn't open this book again on a dare. Gawd, how disappointing. Here you have a vampire who is thousands of years old, who, unlike Akasha, Mekare and Enkil, apparently kept her sanity and managed to adapt as times changed, and all you get of her 'unlife story' is a drippy, unconvincing love story and some ugliness with Roman soldier-types. I wanted to know if, like Maharet, she kept track of her human relatives. I wanted to know what she thought of the changes in human existence. I wanted to know how she met her friends and how she made her enemies. I was so disgusted with this book that I lent it to someone and told her to keep it! (I never do this!) The story of Pandora had (and HAS!) the potential to be as sweeping and compelling as Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's St. Germain, or even as interesting as Lestat's relatively short unlife, but Rice dropped the ball big time. I never got the sense that the writer liked or even _cared_ about Pandora. Never has it been more obvious that Anne Rice is a gay man trapped in a straight woman's body.”

“Her first book "Interview with the Vampire" was unique and I enjoyed it. This book was disjointed and didn't make a lot of sense. I enjoyed the historical background of ancient Rome and Antioch but not much else. ”

“I loved this book. I read these books when I was in high school which was a while ago (8 years) This book was my first Anne Rice novel, strange I had never heard of her, but I think thats one of the reasons I love this book so much; this book opened the world of Anne Rice and the more I read the more I wanted more. Pandora was one of my favorite characters, I think that she was beautifully femine and masculine at the same time, it was immensly entertaining and I just can't say enough about it. ”

“Written in a very beautiful narrative style. Book however lacks interesting plotlines that I usually look forward for in books that I read. Its just an endless rantings of a vampire. I could put the book away and not read it in the next few days because there was no sense of urgency to find out what happens next. The characters are weakly introduced , even the description of her lover for centuries , seemed dry. ”
