Book Reviews of The Feast of All Saints
Book Review: quick view of the novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only say that Anne Rice's novels are getting less as she goes on. Not that the quality of her books following this one are subpar, to say the least, they are all fantastic narritives. I only mean that The Feast of All Saints is by far her best writing to date and in fact one of the ten best books I have ever read. The book far surpasses anything I could have expected. As an avid Rice fan and a lover of the Mayfairs and her Vampires I must still say this novel is the epitomy of everything I love about her.Book Review: THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS
Summary: 5 Stars
As a native of New Orleans I'd often heard stories told about these free people of color, but until I read Anne Rice's THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS, I never knew much about them. This book was so interesting that I've read it twice over the past twelve years since I first heard about it. Each time I've read it I enjoyed in more than the first time. This is the first and only book of Anne Rice I've read. I'm not into vampires, but I plan to read her most recent book about Jesus.Book Review: Enlightening and Erotic
Summary: 5 Stars
In this novel, Anne Rice gets inside of the mindset of the people of color in 19th-Century New Orleans and Louisiana. She lets us in on the passions and despair of a people who are misunderstood and glamorized to this day. She is also careful to differentiate between the southern Louisiana creoles and the northern Louisiana mulattoes. I found this book fascinating, enlightening, and charged with the unique eroticism that only Rice can illuminateBook Review: Her Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The first Rice books I read were those of the witches series. I had been so impressed that I looked for others written by her. So far I have read about 10 of her novels. Feast of All Saints.....what can I say? WOW By far this is the best of everything I've read so far. Her historical accuracy combined with her mezmerizing storytelling blew my mind. Bravo Anne!Book Review: Pure and simply... literature at its best.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is pure and simply literature at its best. To me, this is her best work ever, as much as everyone thinks Interview is... forget it. This is literature that will go down in history to be read by future generations. This is the piece of work that will stand out from all the rest of her work, in 100 years from now. It's a masterpiece. It's perfection.
