Review title: gimme a break!
Product review: Anne Rice is comparable in style to Stephen King. What they have in common is their talent of starting with a brilliant idea and turning it into something absurd. The Mayfair trilogy is yet another example of this. I really liked the initial premise - a mysterious spirit following and protecting a family of witches through generation after generation.I found The Witching Hour difficult to put down for most of the way through, until the end, which was so idiotic I am still shaking my head in disbelief. The books 'Lasher' and 'Taltos' just became increasingly ridiculous. This concept of Lasher being some 5000 year old super being from Atlantis or whatever was so far fetched I was laughing out loud! And why, in all of AR's books, is the main character always about 5000 years old?It would've been nice if she'd stuck with the original theme, instead of this far fetched piece of drivel. If I could give this zero stars I would.
