La regina dei dannati

Of all of the vampire chronicles this is by far my favorite. If you have seen the movie and were not impressed. It's ok because neither was I. The movie is nothing like the book in any way. The book goes into detail and answers a lot questions. Goes into detail of the family tree and tells you how A Leggi tutto

I read a lot of Anne Rice in the 80s, both her Vampire Chronicles and her Mayfair Witches series. I always find her very readable and there is always some dark beauty in her prose.

"Entrevista con el vampiro" fue un libro que me voló la cabeza, principalmente porque me encontré algo totalmente diferente a lo que me esperaba, me tope con una narración super reflexiva, con tintes filosóficos, que constantemente daban lugar a la reflexión.

I like books. I like reading them, writing them, sleeping with every word I have ever read staring down at me in a legacy of comforting language.

For the first time in millennia, she has woken up And she has plans – plans for Lestat, pla Leggi tutto

I kept waiting for it to get interesting but it never did. It got stupider and stupider until I thought my brains were leaking out. If I were on a desert island with nothing to read but this book, I would scratch out old 80's pop lyrics with a twig in the sand before trying to read this dreck again. Leggi tutto

The Queen of the Damned is the third book of the successful "Vampire Chronicles" saga by the author Anne Rice. For me, it's a novel that is impossible to understand without reading "Lestat, the vampire". In this chapter, Rice immerses you in the bowels of the origin of vampires and the myths and leg Leggi tutto
