Angel Timewas delicious.

I guess you could say it was refreshing to read something of hers that wasn't all woe-is-me-and-my-immortality. And she wrote it just recently. ;D Usually I'm reading her works some 30 years late.

It was interesting reading her before she was a devout Christian, when she wrote the majority of the Vampire Chronicles, and after she had found God. Christianity played a large, large role in this book. Not in a Dan Brown way, very mysterious and all that, but very simply, God and Heaven play an active role.

Have any of you read it?

No, but I might think about it. Now that I have no lists to get through, I need to start reading for pleasure again

Sounds like something I would absolutely hate. XD
I thought she was a bad writer before. >_>; I suppose Twilight makes her look really good though.

I like the books she wrote under the name A. N. Roquelaure.

Oooh, oops. I was thinking Feast of All Saints and Cry To Heaven was under that name.

...I like the Sleeping Beauty trilogy, too, though, well 2 of them.
But those are the only ones she did under that name.
I can't read the ones she wrote under Rampling.

Lol, well I have yet to read those as well.

I can read them both OVER&OVER&OVER again.
Even though they're kind of sad and upsetting.

The Feast of All Saints was made into a movie. It stuck pretty close to the book, too.

_.listen._

i can't stand Anne Rice after she found god so violently.

Her son's a pretty decent author though.

i don't mean it like "ZOMG VIOLENCE" i mean it was just sort of...sudden. Her writing's a lot different, to me that is, pre- and post-godfinding.

I know what you mean. Prayers every other page and all that.

But even as a nonreligious f*****t, I still enjoy her books.
