Publisher Description

See the difference, read #1 bestselling author Anne Rice in Large Print * About Large Print All Random House Large Print editions are published in a 16-point typeface In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand - eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. Armand, who first appeared in all his dark glory more than twenty years ago in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire, the first of The Vampire Chronicles, the novel that established its author worldwide as a magnificent storyteller and creator of magical realms. Now, we go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion - and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades among humankind as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood. As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.

    " At this point in the series I am realizing that I really enjoy the autobiographical ones where the vampires just sit and tell their story. These are the ones that I find really wonderful. Complete. "

    " Well written but SO boring and slow, didn't even finish it. I was tired of explicit sex scenes and Armand's fascination with sex. "

    " I liked it, but barely remember it because I read it when it was first published. It's Armand's story and makes him sympathetic. A good thing, since I pretty much hated him in Interview and Lestat. "

    " And we're back on track after "Memnoch the Devil". I was kinda hesitant to see yet another biography of a vampire but Armand's life story proves just as fascinating as Lestat's. "

    " I've since been reinvigorated by this series of vampire books, but this one started to turn me on these chronicles. They started to seem like a "insert vampire name here" formality. "

    " From the Cold plains of Kiev, to the warm waters of the Adriatic near Venice, Armand makes his journey from God-Fearing Christian, to Vampire, back to God over four hundred years. An interesting story full Art and History like much of Anne Rice's works. This is why I like to read them. "

    " I read all of theses vampire books by Ann Rice when I was a teenager. At the time I liked them but thought they were dark. I think that if I were to read them now I would find them too dark and depressing, and not really worth reading. But who really knows and I'm not motivated to try and find out! "

    " Really uneven; good engrossing sections and ridiculous sections. One of my favorite characters seemed very 2-dimensional and under-developed. Enjoyable overall but I won't be re-reading. "

    " I fell in love with the character of Armand from the very first book in the series. There is something about him that captivated me. I enjoyed reading about Armands background story. There is some uncomfortable sexual themes in it but it is only a realistic view of the era. "

    " Anne Rice is a great writer, and this is only the second book of hers that I have read. My problem with the Vampire Chronicles is that I just cannot seem to get into the whole vampire thing. I like fantasy, I like certain types of horror, but vampire stories just don't shake my tree. "
