5.0 out of 5 stars This bookis what made me a huge Anne Rice fan!, Jul 15 2004

Ce commentaire est de: The Witching Hour (Mass Market Paperback)
To be honest, I can't stand the Vampire Chronicles, and I'm glad I did not judge Anne Rice based only on those. Because the Mayfair Witch trilogy are 3 of the best books I've ever read. I highly recommend you all read the Witching Hour, Lasher, & Taltos! Oooh I still have shivers just thinking about these books. I also highly recommend Servant of the Bones - my absolutele most favorite stand-alone Anne Rice book. Happy reading!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Did Anne Rice have an editor?, Jun 19 2009
Ce commentaire est de: The Witching Hour (Mass Market Paperback)
I must say that I am a HUGE fan of Anne Rice, I loved the Vampire series, and just recently started the Mayfair witches saga. The book is well written and Rice is VERY VERY descriptive throughout. I don't think she ran this manuscript by an editor. I was engaged for the first couple hundred pgs, but then the book started to really drag and became repetitive for the next 500 pgs. I am 50 pgs away from finishing, and it has gotten better, but I was a tad let down so far. I had to wrestle with the idea that I may not finish, but haven read almost 800pgs, I couldn't let all that time it took to get to that point in the book go to waste. I do enjoy the book to some degree, however, as you will soon see, and relate to, you will get a bit bored in several areas due to her repetiveness. Don't get me wrong, it is worth reading, but give yourself some time to do so. I do plan on finishing the series. If you are a huge fan of AR, and love the vampire chronicles, THE WITHCING HOUR does not read or engage you as much as her vampire series (lestat series) has or will.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not The Finest Hour, Mar 19 2004
By ekgheiy (USA:MD) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Witching Hour (Mass Market Paperback)
Despite the strong and interesting beginning, The Witching Hour was a painful read. I made it to approximately page 500 and realized that I had become very bored. Then I took into consideration that I had roughly 500+ more pages to go. I decided to stop reading it. The story, while very well conceived, became dryly written and immobile. And the amount of detail in this book is quintessentially EXCESSIVE.

I have read quite a few reviews that site Rice's writing style as being the flaw with this book. I don't think her style is necessarily a "flaw", because a few parts are beautifully written. The "flaw" is that The Witching Hour is profusely detailed and incredibly long. So if you are a patient person and would enjoy a book that is tantamount to an emotional history book about a family of witches, then this is the book for you. However, if you are looking for a concise book of at least reasonable length and momentum, consider yourself forewarned because I do not recommend this book for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but fails to deliver
Witching Hour is an excellent story that spans generations of the Mayfair family. Hardcore Rice fans will probably devour it. Lisez davantage

Hundreds of pages filled with dry prose makes this book no better than any of the timeless classics nobody wants to read. Lisez davantage

This is typical Rice storytelling. Her discriptions from the five senses make the settings in this story become real. Lisez davantage

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating and Sensual at the same time!!!
There was a brief span of time in the beginning of the book that I was bored, but that was only because I didn't know the characters yet and the details were alot to remember. Lisez davantage
