Hi ronaldo, thank you for your reply.

I haven't seen her film 'interview with the vampire' but was concidering renting it out a while ago.

You sound very interested in her work. What do youlike best about it?

Anne Rice's books are pretty good. The first few of her vampire books are worth reading, but after awhile they become a little repetitive. The movie "Interview With The Vampire" is worth renting, or buying. Though it is a little different than the book, it still follows it pretty well and keeps the Anne Rice feel. Do not bother with renting "Queen Of The Damned". It is not much like the book and even if you have not read the book the movie sucks. Anne had no say in its making and it is very clear. It is a goth movie, not an Anne Rice movie.

Saying Anne Rice is Horror is a joke. I might give you Romantic Horror but she is not Horror. You clearly need to read some good Horror if you think she is. I strongly suggest reading Brian Lumley's Necroscope Series. His books are a great read and he is a Horror writer. The Necroscope Series (13 books) are my favorite books. They have people with psychic/metaphysical powers, a guy that talks to the dead (and they will even raise from their graves to help him), vampires, attempts at world domination, spy games, love stories, and more.

I've read several of her books.  The beginning always sucks me in, I can't put the thing down, and then . . . . bleah.  The endings always seem so lame.  I supposed they're supposed to be cliffhangers or something, for the next book, but I'm not hanging off any cliffs.  I almost want to quit halfway through so I'm not disappointed.

I've kept all of her books though, in hardcover.

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering on who Anne Rice really is and what your views on her are?
It is just that I have heard her name mentioned before quite often and have seen a couple of books written by her on shop shelfs, but have found that not many people like her work and her views and was wandering why.

Well I hope that someone can answer my questions.

Awaiting your replies anxiously.
