content: I have read all of ann rice's books and have debated of them all at some point in time. though this book is one of her worst ones yet, I see no reason to slam her for it. In case you people don't keep up with the news, she's retiring the publisher's needed her to write an ending for her chronicles. She had nothing left to give, but hell at least she tried. I don't see how anyone can complain. She wrote for herself not the public so get over her book being crap.
