Angelic L. (chronicreader) - , reviewed on 5/31/2011 + 22 more book reviews

I've always enjoyed Anne Rice's books, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea I guess. I really had to push through to read the whole thing. I just kept thinking it would get better. The focus on organized religion was distracting to me. However, it DID remind me of a somewhat similar book that was FANTASTIC - The Gargoyle. I don't recall the author, but I still think about that book. The only similarities I think were the ability of the writer's to move the reader elegantly between current day and the 13th/114th century. In both, the main character is a tortured male. And both are on, albeit very different, spiritual journeys. I found The Gargoyle a much more enthralling read...as I said, a book I still ponder about...and may just have to read again!
