Summary: Goddess awakend
Comment: In the third book of her Vampire-Chronicles-Series, Bestselling Author Anne Rice again follows legendary bloodsucker Lestat, who still is a Rock-Star and still spreads the secrets of his own around the world.
Angry about this, almoust every Vampire on the planet wants to kill him. And the timemark is set: On the day he will play in San Francisco, Lestat has to die.
But then other things happen: Strange Visions of two redhaired girls (witches) and resurrection of Akascha aka. the mother of all vampires. Soon she and Lestat come together - and the world might never be the same again ...
Every reader who liked "Interview ..." and "The Vampire Lestat" definitly will LOVE this one! Again, Rice prooves that she is the only living author who can mix historical with supernatural in a perfect way. This time she also introduces many new bloodsucking faces to the Vampire community: Khayman, Pandora, Jesse to name but a few. Everyone has its own tale to tell; fascinating an shocking at the same time. And speaking of Akascha - she is the supernatural counterpart to all the classic James-Bond-Villains; a female bloodsucking Blofeld-meets-Dracula-meets-Satan goddess with unholy plans. Brilliant!
One last word to those who never read an Anne-Rice-Novel before: Please begin with the first two books of the series. The more you understand, the more you'll gonna love it - serious!

Summary: Queen of the Damned is a truly exceptional book.
Comment: Queen of the Damned tells about the much loved two hundred year old vampire, Lestat de Lioncourt, who finds himself in the middle of a vampire war. Queen of the Damned is the third book in the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. The first book was Interview with the Vampire, and was followed by The Vampire Lestat. I recommend you read both of these books before you read Queen of the Damned, to get the appropriate background. In Queen of the Damned, Lestat has just made his Hollywood debut. He has penned an autobiography, entiltled The Vampire Lestat. He has started a band(also called The Vampire Lestat), and has set a date for a concert on Halloween. His fans aren't the only ones to be there- vampires who want to punish Lestat for his outwardness towards mortals will also be in attendence. Unbeknownst to him, Lestat's loud music has woken the ancient vampire King Enkil and Queen Akasha from their millenia long slumber. Akasha immeadiatly starts on a plan to stop all vampires and to save mankind- or rather, womankind. As in The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned is narrated by Lestat. But unlike 'Lestat, Queen of the Damned includes side views and stories by others observers, and after all the events were over, told Lestat the story. If you like this book, I suggest to you the other Vampire Chronicles, and other Anne Rice books, such as Lasher, The Witching Hour, and Pandora.

Summary: Hmmmm
Comment: I cannot deny that Anne Rice is an incredibly gifted writer. Yet for some reason it takes me forever to get through her books. They are just not page turners for me. I can go a good three weeks between readings, and then I forget where I am and it's a struggle to make sense of anything. I probably will stop after this one and not read any more Vampire Chronicles books.
