2.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointing..., Jun 29 2003

By

Lauren (West Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cathedral of Vampires (Marquis de Sade) (Mass Market Paperback)

I saw this book and I thought, hey, Lord Byron... gotta be kool. I was dissappointed, for this book didn't speak to me at all. The characters were underdeveloped and it was too fast paced for my tastes. There are parts and aspects I did like however, but not enough to make me want to read more of the subject and author. Being an Anne Rice fan, I think she has spoiled me and this book just seems to me another plain ole vampire novel.

If you are interested in Lord Byron as a vampire, I suggest Tom Holland's work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mitchell outdoes Rice and then some..., Aug 21 2002

By

Darren Jacks (North Hollywood, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cathedral of Vampires (Marquis de Sade) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mitchell gets better and better with every novel and she is way ahead of the queen, Rice. She sets the story up, paces it, and makes us identify with her characters. Honestly, I never have been a big vampire fan because most of it is too flowery and wordy. But Mitchell breaks it down and writes in a straight-forward way as not to "over-write."

She can write with any of the other splatter-punk's, too; she writes in an orgy of blood and gore. She writes with just a hint of sexuality and sensuality, keeping us wanting more and more.

Her ideas are fresh and very well-thought out and planned. She writes like a bat out of hell and composes her fiction in a literary manner, but not too wordy.

Mitchell is one of the few female writers in the genre that is truly gifted and can deliver chills and shivers down your spine.

Deinemuse (Sarasota, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cathedral of Vampires (Marquis de Sade) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is for people who hate the twenty pages of description that go along with such authors like Anne Rice. Yes, the candle stick is nice, but do I need to hear about it for half the darn book. This book flows quickly and has tons of dialog. The only downfall was that I would've liked to see my description on some of the more coupled scenes. They seem to light a fire and then go no where. Also, the end is very abrupt... maybe this book continues, but it just seemed to end with no conclusion. Great beach reading though!

Generally, I expect Vampire stories to have a strong element of horror in them. Their nature is one that should inspire fear, not pity, and they are endowed with a set of powers... Read more
