Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful series!
I loved this series of books. Anne Rice tells a great story. I like the historical references in addition to the fascinating story line.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Vampire Chronicles Review
Very good and fast service from Amazon and the Vampire Chronicles are great! Excellent writing with well organized stories. Entertaining. I would highly recommend these.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Warning: if you have not yet read..
I have not read these books for a while, but when I did, I, like many others, fell in love with the words, the characters and the world they inhabit.

The plot and characters are very well done. The only draw back is that there is too much time spent describing people places or things, and that everyone in her stories are latent homosexuals. While I am gay, the over abundance of homosexuality amongst the male characters made it seem unnatural and made me wonder a bit about the writer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient POV.

She recovers nicely in other stories!

Overall a great series if you like vampires. Nice to get them all in one shot!!

Recommended.
