– I read these books because I like the vampires. “I hear Armand and I see him and I ignore him,” said. “Armand envies you and spies on you far more than you might think.” And I liked how this book combined Christianity and evolution.
– I admittedly do not know much about the details of the history and mythology of Christianity, so I don’t know how much this book actually aligns with that, but Anne Rice’s take on things here with Heaven, Hell, Creationism, evolution, angels, and Satan was interesting in its own way. In this, her most daring and darkest novel, she takes us, with Lestat, into the mythical world that is most important to us-into the realms of our own theology.This wasn’t my favorite in the series, so I’ll keep this brief. In the first four Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summoned up for us worlds that are fantastic and distant, making them as resonant, real, and immediate as our own. And finally, he must decide which, if either, he will serve.
He must decide if he can believe in the Devil or in God. He is taken like the ancient prophets into the heavenly realm and is ushered into Purgatory. He is invited to be a witness at the Creation. He is snatched from the world itself by the mysterious Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil. While torn between his vampire passions and his overwhelming love for Dora, Lestat is confronted by the most dangerous of adversaries he has yet known. Through the whiteness Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic daughter of a drug lord, the woman who arouses Lestat's tenderness as no mortal ever has. He is brought into direct confrontation with both God and the Devil, and into the land of Death. In Anne Rice's extraordinary novel, the Vampire Lestat-outsides, canny monster, hero-wanderer-is at last offered the chance to be redeemed.
