I love the way Anne Rice writes and the parts with the angels were so cool that i nearly forgot everything i didn't like.

Finally crossed this one off my "To Read" list. It's been sitting on my shelf for years and I've always wanted to read it but it took a while for me to focus on it. Overall, it's a good book. While it's separate from The Vampire Chronicles series, it has the same general feel to it. I approve!

Eh. Read this years and years ago and I haven't felt inclined to read another Anne Rice novel. And I don't think it was the story but rather her writing, it was just so bland. No flare, no poetry, no taste. It was not at all what I expected and I fell hard with disappointment.
