Title: Not as readable as her best but nonetheless awesome
Product review: Anyone who does not consider this a valid Vampire Chronicle needs to go back and reread their books. "Memnoch'" meshes very organically and thematically with the other books in the series. The devil is mentioned so much in the these books that he was practically already a character before this book was published.That being said, this is not my favorite Rice novel by far. I would lump it in as one of her "problem' novels with "Servant of the Bones" and "Vioin." Like those novels it is rather abstract and loosely plotted, as Rice might say, "More spirit than flesh." Ultimately less enjoyable and readable than many of her other novels. I don't treasure "Memnoch" but nonetheless it is an awesome and challenging book if only for the sheer power and audacity of its ideas.
