Summary: Take the money and hide.
Comment: To sum it up, Anne if you had not been a published writer this book would have been trashed. I can't beleive any one would pay money for this.

Summary: There is NO defense for this novel...
Comment: "Blood Canticle" is a novel that Anne Rice was well over 3/4 of the way writing when her husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. She took time off from writing and then went back to the novel in order to make her dead line. When reading the novel, the shift in her tone is evident. (Besides the fact that the novel was finished on October 5, Stan was diagnosed in August. No way the novel was done that quickly, no matter how sloppy and poorly written it is.)
Still, that means she had written over half the book before he was sick. So you know what that means... no excuse. "Blood Canticle" is repellent. And it would be forgivable if Blood and Gold & Blackwood Farm had been even half-way decent novels, but they weren't. And so the all the excuses and half-hearted defenses with continue for Ms. Rice. It still does not make up for an once brilliant author who had decided to churn out novels more processed than Velvetta.
The language is terrible, the "plot" is a joke, and all the while you can't hope but think, she knows it as well. But she doesn't. And I don't think this will be the last chronicle. Let's face it... writing a vampire chronicle pays, and it's obivious that is what Anne Rice is concerned with. Art and intergrity have been stomped on and there isn't even a glimmer of the once great author she was. That's the greatest tragity. Yo, I think it's time for us all to boogie on over to a better writer, baby.

Summary: Blood Canticle
Comment: Anne has tried her best with this last book she is a wonderful person who gives to her fans all that she can.When she lost Stan she returned to her faith. She has already made it clear this will be her last book about Lestat. She wants light in her life and needs to leave the darkness behind for her own reasons.I loved the vampire chronicles and would love to have her write more.I agree that B.C wasn't her best, But I'm glad I bought it.
I wish her all the luck with whatever she does and she will always have a fan in me.
