Title: worst. book. ever.
Product review: What an awful book! (Having said that, I did actually read the entire thing.)Irritatingly, most of the book is a monologue, spoken by Tarquin (yet another impossibly rich, overdressed, beautiful and campy vampire) to Lestat, who doesn't even chime in with an 'mmm' or 'ok' or 'by the gods, you're an insufferably boring lad'. This struck me as very un-Lestat, and a dialogue with Lestat would have at least broken up this hefty monologue.The entire book is strangely written. The words and phrases are different from her previous works. The tenses and writing style is a departure from the tried and true method and I couldn't help but wonder if this was even written by Anne Rice. Maybe it was, but she had a 4 year old for an editor.Whatever, this book was a sore disappointment to me, and I'm sad that I spent $50AU buying the hardcover. You owe me some cash, Anne Rice.
