Blackwood Farm: The Vampire Chronicles Audiobook

" Since I can't stand Mona Mayfair, her cameo in this book did not thrill me . . . "

" This is really where Anne Rice starts to lose interest and love for her characters... "

" Enough twists in the plot to keep my interest throughout. "

" So emotionally charged! I loved the characters and the family history. This is the Anne Rice that I fell for. "

" Trying to squeeze the last possible drop of blood from what has been an extraordinary series of books, Anne Rice comes up with Blackwood Farm. Halfway through the book, I still can't bring myself to care for any of the characters. Big letdown in my not so humble opinion. "

" My favorite of the Chronicles! "

" I couldn't even finish this one. It was the last Anne Rice book I read, and probably will remain so now that she's some born-again Catholic. She seemed to write this one like I used to write my silly little stories when I was young: they were only vehicles for my girlish ambitions to have everything I wanted- wealth, power- and this book seemed to have little to do with a real plot. It bothered me immensely. "

" I started reading Ann Rice as a junior in high school - 27 years ago!!! I like that she merges her vampire series and Mayfair series in this one (second time she has done this). It's actually a tragic love story. LOTS of gratuitous sex so this may offend some. Also, Rice repeats words that should only be used once in this novel - I find that irritating and bad writing. She is better than this. "

" This was a decent one from Rice. Her language as always is precise and draws out imagery like no other. To read her your mind must be open to all things, for some it might disgust, but for me I do not see how. I must read all of her books, almost there! "

" First book I have every just listened to on audio. I love the way she merges her vampires and witches "

" And here's where she completely lost me. I don't think I made it past the 3rd chapter. Very disappointing. "

" Another good one in the Chronicles, and a nice update on the Mayfair witches. Quinn is a great character and I enjoy the family and the setting. "

" This book introduces us to the Mayfair witches as well as keeping the story of Lestat alive. It also fuses a spirit with the world of Vampirism. A must read for ant Anne rice fan as it not only continues the Chronicles but introduces her Mayfair Witches series. "

" Quinn Blackwood is not cool enough to be a vampire, but Lestat is still pretty awesome. "

" I never wanted this to end, really really good. "

" Starts off a bit slow, but gets better a little less than halfway in. It's an interesting story in that it's a story within a story. One vampyre recounting his mortal life story to another vampyre. "

" Odd book... "

" So beautiful ad so utterly frightening...showed me a side I never knew I had. "

" My favorite book from her Vampire Chronicles. You could just about feel the laziness of the swamp, the majesty of a sinking mansion, and the magic that haunts the streets of New Orleans. "

" People can criticize this book forever but I couldn't have been more elated to have Lestat and my beloved Mayfairs (Mona, Rowan, and Michael) back. I can't say much without spoilers but finally Rice melded all my favorite aspects of her writing and people together for me. "

" Best Rice Book! "

" Blackwood farm is just another one of Anne rices creations. I loved it. It it new and original telling the story of a haunted vampire named Tarquin who goes seeking help from the notorious vampire lestat. A good read. "

" I own this book but refuse to read it because I dumped Anne Rice last week. Her books have become more and more terrible, she's failed as an author, and I just can't keep this relationship alive anymore...I think it's time for me as a reader to move on to good books. "

" All I want to say is that this is an awesome story that has everything that is awesome in it. I actually didn't like what happened to Goblin in the end, but it's still great. "

" As always, Anne Rice does not disappoint. There is death, love, sadness, pain and hope. Some very strange characters but noteworthy for the same traits that make them detestable. This novel seems to bring the vampires back to earth and life and humanity, it appears to make them touchable again. "

" Loved it! My daughter suggested it. liked it so much I pick up another of her books and then realized I needed to start from the first book "Vampire Chronicles" Now I'm hooked! "

" i missed her old vampire series. need to reread them and the witching hour now. "

" I fell in love with Quinn along with Lestat! "

" I did not think that this was a very good book. The story was rather predictable and the characters did not develop well. "

" one of my fave books it has it all <br/>ghosts, vamps and magic well kind of but still <br/>it was the second book I read, I know I started in the wrong way but hey sue me. <br/> <br/>this book so got me into cameos I love them now "

" frankly, this book sucked...no pun intended~ "

" This freaking book was a weird one, but interesting. It was kind of hard to get into reading at first, and was hard to keep reading. But in the end I guess it wasn't horrible! "

" Still enjoying the whole vampire series... it's just taking me a few years to get through them all. "

" I liked that this book had a mix of southern ghost and vampire legend. It had a really nice twist and a pretty good plot! It was an easy read for me and I would recommend it for the fiction lover. "

" The Mayfair Witches and Vampire Chronicles collide! "

" This is one of my favorites in this series- I definitely want to read it again- a thoroughly enjoyable story from beginning to end. <br/> "

" I adored this southern gothic ghost tale with it's sensual slow pace, memorable characters, and charming romance. "

" I absolutely loved this book about the legacy of the Blackwood family and its young heir, Tarquinn. The characters are truly engaging and unforgettable. And let's not forget the vampires...including the return of Lestat, the Mayfairs and the Talamasca. "

" Blackwood farm is just another one of Anne rices creations. I loved it. It it new and original telling the story of a haunted vampire named Tarquin who goes seeking help from the notorious vampire lestat. A good read. "

" i just cant finish it..just stopped reading.. "

" Classic Anne Rice: lots of supernatural fun, sex abounds (some totally inappropriate), and long-winded. "

" Re-reading the book because I am always intrigued by Anne Rice's ability to make me feel like I am right next to the characters about whom she writes. "
