Summary: A Fascinating New Twist
Comment: I just finsihed reading this wonderful book by Anne Rice. For some reason I am a devoted fan but I never got around to reading this book until now. I love Azriel the Genie. He is an tantalizing, alluring figure.I found the beginning of the tale with the "author" Jonathan taping Azriel's richly detailed tale of ancient Babylonia fascinating.
After reading every one of Anne's Vampire and Witch stories I found a different type of supernatural character very refreshing. I also realized how timely the idea of Gregory Belkin's mastermind plot of mass destuction is during these times of terrorism. Leave it to Anne Rice to tell such a tale.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not worth reading from an Anne Rice faithful
Comment: I love Anne Rice but I must say that this is among her worst books. I found the tale common, predictable, boring, unrealistic. This book lacked Anne's usual feel, flavor, intensity, character development,the feeling that makes you stay up all night turning pages. I thought she turned it out in a short amount of time, without thinking. I read all of Anne Rice's books and would rate The Witching Hour among the best, this tale among the worst
Rating: 4
Summary: Only through death can true human need be shown
Comment: Anne Rice's novel Servant of the Bones is a magnificent book that shows all of humanity's wishes and desires through, well, the death of a young Sumerian boy who is murdered in the most horrific of ways. He is trapped in the world of limbo, and is a slave to any who can bacon him; until one day he is awakened with no master and a girl that calls out his name, Azreil, in the last moments of her life. The mystery behind this young girls death and Azriel's true purpose in this world is revealed to the reader in a wonderfully dark and cold tale told by Azriel to a well-known professor.
If you like tales of ancient cultures, you will love this book. If you like Anne Rice's writing, you will love this book (since it is far different from her normal novals). If you hate Anne Rice's writing, you will love this book. If you like Neil Gaiman, you will love this novel. And, finally, if you like to read stories with demons and angles, good verses evil, ying and yang, you will love this book.
