Title: Anne Rice's MEMNOCH THE DEVIL.
Product review: I began reading the book with an open mind - I'd read some bad reviews. In fact, the first - third? - of the book was very good. It seemed Rice had got her gay erotica under control, and the story was going great. I mean, Lestat meets someone claiming to be the Devil? Sounds like a great idea to me! But then, we reach the part when Lestat actually goes with Memnoch, and we find ourselves on completely different ground. Rice uses Memnoch as a way to re-write the Bible and create her own religion: Riceism. Arguments about God, what happened, how the earth was formed - basically, history and religion mashed together in one great big science class. Die-hard Anne Rice fans may be able to make it through the book, but I gave up about 2/3 of the way through, feeling very disappointed. Lestat and/or vampire fans beware; MEMNOCH THE DEVIL is nothing more than Anne Rice's version of the Bible. My verdict: you ain't gettin' no hallelujahs from me.
