Sorry, Kris! :-) For me, Anne tends to be love or hate. The ones I liked, I loved. But it's true that I have to be in a particular mood to read her or I lose interest pretty quickly.<BR/><BR/>L.Lezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-71807220894821927512008-03-20T09:59:00.000-05:002008-03-20T09:59:00.000-05:00I personally love The Beauty series. lol!

Most all of my reading buddies went crazy over it. I didn't. I've like a few of her vampire books, but I'm just not a fan of her writing. I don't like beautiful willowy words. Give me a good story minus the powder and perfume. It's usually a cover for a story that stinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-28783095026357765032008-03-18T08:37:00.000-05:002008-03-18T08:37:00.000-05:00Books Please ~ Yes.

But she had been wrestling with her religious beliefs for a long time. Much of that came out in many of "The Vampire Chronicles", which is part of what made them so intriging to me. The "Christ The Lord" books seem to be incredibly well researched. She even delves into stories from the Gnostic gospels. I truly want to like these books better than I do. And I want to check out "The Gospel of Judas". Sounds very interesting!<BR/><BR/>Kris ~ If you do read it, please let me know what you thought. I would love to talk to someone who really liked the book. I don't hate it enough to not read the rest of the series as it comes out. I'm still curious.<BR/><BR/>Jeane ~ Always glad to provide a laugh. :-) And Anne Rice is most famous for her Vampire Chronicles. I *love* the early part of that series.<BR/><BR/>L.Lezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-33857903749280906232008-03-18T08:12:00.000-05:002008-03-18T08:12:00.000-05:00Your review made me laugh out loud, so I read the ...Your review made me laugh out loud, so I read the part about Jesus and bricks to my husband.

However, I have never read the book! haha! So I'm glad to know I'm probably not missing much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-18458369360184526562008-03-18T01:58:00.000-05:002008-03-18T01:58:00.000-05:00This made me chuckle.

Seems like the bricks could be there for me too.<BR/><BR/>I've had a quick look on Amazon. It seems Rice writes about vampires too - a strange mix Jesus and vampires! And Amazon reviews are that the Christ the Lord series is "meticulously researched".<BR/><BR/>An interesting nove(to me at least) is <I>The Gospel of Judas</I> by Simon Mawer about the discovery of a first century scroll signed by Judas. I've always been intrigued by Judas.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.com
