Title: Not what I expected
Product review: After reading all the hype about Anne Rice returning to the style of writing seen in The Vampire L'Estat novels, I must admit I was expecting more than what I got from this novel. Parts of Pandora's history (from childhood to adult) were interesting but after awhile I was ready to move on--unfortunately, Ms. Rice was not. Around the time Pandora was made into a Vampire, the story picked up a little but not much. The characters didn't have the depth I expected, nor was the story as compelling as I would have liked. The story did have its good points, but I must admit, I finished it only because I was listening to it on audiotape (unabridged version) and at times, even that was a struggle.
