Pandora is just another vampire tale written by Anne Rice. Pandora, who real name was Lydia, is a pretty charming woman. She is on a café and founds his friend David. He gives Pandora a kind of diary where she is free to write about anything she wants to. She decides to write about her life since almost the very beginning. Since the very beginning this novel traps you with the much detail and description the author uses, and really submerges you into the story. Since always she have had many problems like an impossible love, a threaten over her family, and the reason she was born a woman in a time where women didn’t had that much freedom and rights. This problem of her being a woman caused her to seduce men in order to get what she wanted.
Many other characters of other books of Anne Rice appeared in this novel. I’d read one last year and that help me understand better Pandora and her way of being. Many book reports that I read before reading my novel assumed that Pandora is kind of a heroine. I don’t agree with those reports. I think she is a brave woman, with many qualities but just that and no more.
I love how Anne is able to create a vivid image at the moment you are reading. Also, she puts real facts that in some form made the story real even though vampires are fictitious. “Pandora” was just too amazing since the very beginning and just better and better as I read.

Mr.Heneghan "Just" another vampire tale? Does that mean you are getting tired of the Rice/vampire stories? Beware of burnout! Try something new. Ask your trusted "reader" friends for a suggestion.
