La mummia

Now a novel which includes Cleopatra (VII) and Ramses II, the greatest pharaoh in history has a certain amount of intrinsic interest, especially the Egyptian queen ( with little native blood, almost all Greek) when she plays one of the evil ones. Not a beauty as portrayed in films but attractive, in Leggi tutto

I give you the book the movie The Mummy was SUPPOSED to be based off of. In the end they butchered the story so much Anne Rice wouldn’t put her name on it. Which is a shame, because this book is (if not better) sexier than the movie. A lot of reviews call it “vintage Anne Rice” and I couldn’t agree m Leggi tutto

Actual rating is 3.5 stars. This is the beginning of a trilogy. In this one a mummy is unearthed from its tomb. The mummy is not dead as it is revived when it is exposed to the sun. This mummy is new to the modern world and is adapting to it while he falls in love. I enjoyed this book but I wasn't com Leggi tutto

Loved this book...couldn't put it down once I started it. I really wish she would have done a series out of this story.

I read a lot of Anne Rice in my late teens. I think I was hoping for another Lestat ( https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ) somewhere in her cannon, but alas, there is only one! “The Mummy” interested me because it reminded me of those super-cheesy B-horror movies à la Hammer, but with sex (I was Leggi tutto

A mummy re-awakened in Edwardian London ... what's not to love?! Well ... First things first, what is this book about?

La vida e historia de Ramsés el faraón mezclada con ficción, tintes oscuros y fantasía de una manera en que solo Anne puede hacerlo, muy creativa y super rápida de leer, un vistazo al antiguo Egipto con un esplendor y decadencia abrumadoras.

Hmmmm... Ramses the Great (or Ramses the Damned) is discovered in The Valley of the Kings. He has risen from the his immortal sleep to fall in love with Julie. But when people start turning up dead Ramses raises the seductive Cleopatra from her grave. Um... Ok. So I read this in October as a good mons Leggi tutto

I was stuck in a library waiting and had nothing to read. I picked this up thinking 'Ancient Egypt, the undead, how can it be bad?' without looking at the author. After first few pages I checked. Oh dear. I really do not like Anne Rice. It was in reading this book for a few hours stuck in a library and Leggi tutto

“When we are weary, we speak lovingly of dreams as if they embodied our true desires” Spoilers...duh Right now, I’m letting out a loud groan. That is all I really can do thinking about this book. Well, I could give you a very impressive eye roll as well. Or I pull out some of my hair. This was act Leggi tutto
