    <body><![CDATA[i could see how some would have been greatly offened by Anne's choice to have such a heavy religious theme. Being raised Catholic myself, (though experiencing a change of heart while growing up) i wasn't shocked by a lot of what was said. <br/><br/>But, the only thing that truly, TRULY shocked me ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20232685">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book ruined Lestat for me. I'll admit, I liked the beginning where he was stalking that mafia guy, Roger or &quot;Roge&quot;. But after he meets with Theodora, who I happen to love as a character,we see it go into angsty purple-prose overload. It felt more like a companion piece than an actual ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78992702">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the worst since, and perhaps including the first in this series.  A long - boring - trite treatise on religion and the nature of god and the devil, this is full of the kind of whiny self-loathing psuedo - introspective tripe that made the 1st volume so boring.  <br/><br/>If you liked any o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49467811">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Memnoch is my favorite Rice book in the Vampire Chronicles series.  Also deemed as the most controversial in the series, it follows Lestat as he is lead through heaven, hell and far back into history to experience a retelling of sorts from the devil himself.  <br/><br/>I found Memnoch to be a much...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52374641">more...</a>]]></body>
