This book had it's good and bad points. I found it a slow-read, and my least favorite of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles. It follows Lestat (a main character in the first five of the chronicle books) as he goes with Memnoch on a journey through the beginnings of the world as God made it, the evolution of animals and humans, and the development of the soul. Lestat travels with Memnoch to Heaven, Earth and Hell. He witnesses the procession as Jesus is headed toward his death, and he sees how souls are made to forgive the sins of their lives in Hell. It offered a new perspective on religion, one that some may find hard to swallow. Anne Rice has said this is her favorite of the vampire chronicle books, but I have to disagree this time. I read this book just to move on the the next in the series. If you aren't dead-set on reading the whole series, this one could be the one to skip.Read full review
Overall it was a great gripping read. I almost feel as I go through the chronicles each book gets a little less captivating. Lestat becomes obsessed with Dora, Rogers daughter and at the same time is compelled by the devil himself. The ending was pretty expected. However, I was very sad to see Armand just taken out like that abruptly. It almost seemed lazy writing to be honest. Overall, good read though. I would recommend it!

I love Anne Rice and this book only reinforces that feeling. She writes vampires, witches, angels, mummies and of course the devil and she does them all with thoroughly entertaining stories. This book is another triumph for Anne Rice and you will love it.

I have enjoyed Anne Rice's novels about vampires and witches, I have not found any other author that can write novels about vampires and witches as well as she does. The descriptions and phrases that she uses makes me feel like I am in the story with the characters. I enjoy reading her material.
Have owned and read this several times but now my copy is missing so I ordered another. Great book, I have most of her books and plan to complete my collection.
