content: I have always been a huge Ann Rice fan, and have read several of her early books more than once. The first few vampire chronicles and Mayfair stories were awesome. But I can't get into Blood Canticle, even after giving it the standard 100 pages I try to give all books I read. Mona is a trashy brat, Lestat is over the top cocky, Rowan is loopy...only Quinn holds any interest for me at this point and he has hardly been featured at all. Unless Ann brings back Louis, Armand and the old gang, in some new adventure, this will be my last vampire chronicle. There's just nothing like the good old days!
