Summary: great: but how about more on the italian babe, please?
Comment: i was aware that none of the good ol' fav characters like lestat, armand and louis would be featured in the latest vampire novel...unfortunately, i still couldn't help but miss their presence.
nevertheless, vittorio was a wonderful read (much better than memnoch and body thief ANYTIME) and i hope rice will continue to write about vittorio's new vampiric adventures, or concentrate on ursula who wasn't given much of a character in the book, other than that of an innocent sweet young thing whose life was cruelly taken and ravished. would be interesting to hear her personal account of the horrific death-rape matrimonial consumation with florian and subsequent life as the vampire bride.
overall, a richly impressive literary artwork of the historical and fantasy interwoven to produce a hauntingly imaginable world. btw, anne...i love the angels.

Summary: short but very enlightening
Comment: This book was all that a great novel should be. I cant really say it is my favorite book by Anne rice but its pretty far up there. The story it self was so original and different from her other vampire books. I found that book to be really sad. I cried my eyes out when vittorio's family was so brutally murdered by the vampires. Most of the characters in the book were well developed and seem so real, although I wasn't too crazy about Ursula. I though the book would be even better if vittorio had finished her off like he did the others.
I think what really drew me to this book was how Ms. Rice described the city of Florence. Every thing was so richly detailed and described it truly seemed real. what really fascinated me was how she talked about Florence and architecture and art of the 15th century. There was a lot written about the great painter filippo lippi, his art and about his life. He is one of my favorite artist and I though it was extrodinery how she describe his art in words . I dont think any one but Anne Rice could have done that.

Summary: A new Vampire tale, sort of.
Comment: "Vittorio the Vampire" is about Vittorio, a 15th Centrey Italian knight who loves art and his family (a rare turn for an Anne Rice vampire). One night his family is given an ultematum; give vampires a tribute or the village dies. The tribute is refused, and Vittorio's family is murdered in front of him; but he spared by the beautiful vampire named Ursula. He escapes and goes after the vampires for revenge with the help of some gaurdian angels. This is Anne Rice's attempt to seperate herself from Lestat; and it dose seems more like a sequal to "Memnoch the Devil" than anything else. It has a lot to do with angel and devil worship, to a degree. There is a lot to this book that is pretty good. I liked the Ruby Grail court, it has a kind of Charles Manson like cult spooky feel to it. There are some big problems with "Vittorio the Vampire"; it is too close to "Interveiw with the Vampire", with Claudia/Ursula comparison, and the Ruby Grail court reminds me a lot of "Theater of the Vampires" that Armand run in Paris. Also it seemed like a history lesson of the beginning of the Renaissance in Italy. But all in all it is short enough to really injoy before it gets tedious.
