Opinion on The Vampire Lestat review
I've read a couple of Anne Rices books and am absolutely amazed by the complicated, yet insightful, beauty of her writting. The author that wrote the review did a fine job. Her vocabulary changed in each pharagraph, and she really didn't summarize the book. The review contained mostly the authors opinion.
It seems that she enjoyed the book as much as I have others. Her enthusiaism was what I liked, hearing an Anne Rice fans opinion is always nice.
