The Witching Hour (Abridged) Audiobook

" The book started strong, and I could barely put it down. After the lead female character succumbed to "the man", I was over it! This one had a super-soft ending and I felt completely let down. "

" did not like the ending "

" one of my favorite Anne Rice books!!! "

" Could have been half as long - the hundreds of pages of family history in the middle were excruciating - and the ending was rather disappointing. "

" Interensting but lots of history nd people to remember. Took me a while to get through it. "

" So this book moves a little slowly when you get to the middle of the book. The pages and pages and pages of the history of mayfair witches is both interesting and annoying. It reads like a history book or research (which granted it authentic to it's place in the story) but it's kind of like hitting traffic when you're on the expressway. You're moving right along getting into the book and getting interested in the characters and bam - let's read tons of diary entries and field notes about the mayfair family. most of which will get kinda revised later in the story anyway. there had to be a better way for rice to tell that information. i mean even if she did it as flashbacks. anyway i was kinda mad at the ending - even though it was thoroughly predictable except spoiler... i thought aaron and michael were done-sky and was relieved that they weren't. despite my frustration toward the end of the book i have to admit i'm hooked and i plan on reading lasher whenever it comes in at the library :) much better than interview with the vampire! "

" One of my favorite books "

" Would read this again. "

" An utter disappointment after how much I like the vampire chronicles. "

" I have read this book three times & still will read it again. "

" incredibly detailed and fun to read! "

" By far my favorite of Anne rice's books. Her descriptions of the locales had me walking down the streets of New Orleans envisioning the houses - and the people in them. "

" First Ann rice book I read. Made me really start reading. "

" Can't get through it! "

" sucked.. had to stop "

" Uno de mis libros favoritos de todos los tiempos! "

" i loved this entire series. "

" My all time favorite horror series. "

" Fascinating, gripping adult-only book. Almost too much for me at times but still I couldn't leave it alone for long. Such rich detail and insights into families, communities, cities, lifestyles, eras. Hope the next, Lasher, is as good. "

" Absolutely loved this book. Was my first introduction to Anne Rice. "

" A little hard to get into at first but then extremely hard to put down. A little too wordy/descriptive at times but well worth it overall. "

" Very long book! Liked it a lot kind of dragged out a little but holy Moses what an ending! "

" Excellent story! this sucked me in so fast i couldn't stop reading it. "

" I love how she intertwines the witches and vampires "

" I loved this book, it pulled me in, I loved that they explained the whole history of the family. The ending defiantly made me want to read the second book! "

" i didnt like it as much as withcing hour but it was a good continuation "

" Really good book!! Brings the 2 series together to fill in some blanks. "

" Read this book years ago. Am planning a trip to New Orleans in 2012 and so wanted to re-read. I am so enjoying it. "

" Read this one several times. Loved it! "

" I was very disappointed in this audio book. It did not state whether it was abridged or not, however once I began listening to it, I realized it was abridged. I felt like I lost the connection between Michael and Rowan. I do not recommend listening to it unless it is the full book. "

" Very beautiful. I loved it very much "

" One of my favorite Anne rice books, that does not deal with vampires. "

" Hated the end of this book -- didn't read any more in the series "

" Supernatural Sci-Fi... dark, dense, and delicious. I can't wait to start on the next book! "

" If you can get past about the first 100 pages this book becomes so compelling I can't wait to see what happens. Finally finished this most enjoyable book. Can't wait to finish the series. "

" Anne did a wonderful job of creating characters that were seemingly believable, and in choosing New Orleans as the setting for this haunted, twisted tale of witches, ghosts and dark magic. "

" Apart from being an eternal book, I really like it. It lasted for the whole summer lol. "
