4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable, Nov 12 2005
Ce commentaire est de: Blood Canticle (Mass Market Paperback)
I found blood canticle enjoyable. Being an Anne Rice fan for years i was enchanted to find that she had mixed the world of the Mayfairs with that of the Vampires. It was only inevitable wasnt it. I found Lestat true to his grandizing plans only to end up the same. Always wanting to be more, but never wanting to change. I also enjoyed the whole Lestat Oncle Julian thing. I felt it was about time someone brought him down a peg. After all his mistakes he should learn not to meddle. I was also very pleased to see a resolution within the whole Taltos affair. If you have been keeping up with the Mayfair Chronicles you should be pleased to finally see an ending.

Ce commentaire est de: Blood Canticle (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a big fan of Anne Rice, have read all her books, blah blah blah. The bottom line is Anne Rice is ending her Chronicles with this? At least that's what I heard. I tolerated the disorganization and rambling about the Pope etc. because I was hoping for a great story. It never happens. The resolution is too rapid and clean. The characters, like others have pointed out, aren't consistent with previous books, even Lestat. I still love Anne Rice, would recommend this to fans, and would read anything she wrote.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB LISTENING, Jan 24 2004

Ce commentaire est de: Blood Canticle (Audio Cassette)
Thanks to the accomplished voice of David Pittu the latest in the list topping Vampire Chronicles from Anne Rice simmers with suspense. The multi talented Pittu who excels not only as a voice performer but as actor, director, writer and teacher easily inhabits this world of vampires and witches. His reading is made all the more powerful by thoughtful use of pauses and inflections - superb listening!

With Lestat as the narrator "Blood Canticle" begins where "Blackwood Farm" concluded. The wicked one whom we all came to love is now, would you believe, a seeker of good - not just good but he aims for sainthood. Quite a switch.

Characters include many from Rice's previous works, all finely knit into the tale. Beloved of Quinn Blackwood Mona Mayfair returns to Blackwood Farm to die. Her demise is circumvented by Lestat who makes her vampire. Rowan Mayfair, a top neurosurgeon and witch, arrives intent upon seeing Mona. We will learn that she and Mona have much in common - all involving the murkily mysterious Taltos (an unearthly ancient race who resemble humans although not very much).

Ms. Rice seems to have had a fine time imagining "Blood Canticle," sparked by a kidnaping, rife with romance and adventure. Listeners will have a fine time, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different
Well, I read all the reviews here before I even opened the book. I was sort of expecting the worse. I think the major thing is that Lestat has changed, he changed in the novel... Lisez davantage

2.0 out of 5 stars Blood Canticle Bombs
Blood Canticle does not deliver. If you thought, as I did, that Blackwood Farm signaled the come back of the Anne Rice of old, you would be wrong. Lisez davantage

I believe this will go down as my least favorite of the Vampire Chronicles. How disappointing to find that the book held little interest to me after the first few chapters,... Lisez davantage
