Title: Not a Vampire Chronicle, but an excellent book.
Product review: Memnoch the Devil is not, I repeat NOT!!!, a Vampire Chronicle. At least not in my opinion. My question is why did Anne Rice, who is the master of weaving a character and breathing life into him, chose Lestat to be the protagonistof such a religiously baised novel? I loved every one of the Vampire Chronicles, couldn't wait to get my hands on the next one, but this one threw me for a really large loop. Earth circling you coulds say. I don't know waht I expected but it certainly wasn't what Memnoch gave. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book and have read and reread it on numerous occasions, recommend it to friends---but not as a continuation of the storyline established for Lestat in Interview with a Vampire. It is a different genre of book from the vampire tales and I, personally, object to it being included in the Vampire Chronicle series.
