Violin Audiobook

" I picked this book up at the library craving a good ol' Anne Rice story--a hint of trash, a lot of supernatural, and a fine story woven in. That's not what I got! This book was very different from the others I have read, which include the LeStat vampire series and the Mayfair witches series. I didn't like this much...it had a few good moments, but it was quite a drag for the first half for sure! A woman who is buried in her own miserable tale, a violin-playing specter who is drawn to her...and their resolution. Actually a happy ending. "

" Loved this very alluring and strange even for Anne Rice.. I love the emotions. She always explores different writing styles. "

" this was my first Anne Rice and I have to say I wasn't excited about it. It was very weepy and whiney. I have heard this is her M.O. for the vampire books and I don't fine myself getting excited to read them now. Maybe the passion of Christ will do more for me, but if she paints Christ up to be a victim like the rest of these characters then I'm done with her. "

" I really loved this book. I am a lot more into Anne Rice's stuff that doesn't belong in a series. "

" Tried to read. I could not get into it. I don't know where she was going with this novel. "

" Truly my favorite of all Anne Rice's creations!!! Could be because of my love for the violin too! "

" I don't remember this book all that well, but I know that I like it and it creeped me out a bit. "

" A messy book. The prose was so stupidly purple I laughed out loud. The emotional history parts were so repetitive I had to skim entire pages. Don't bother with this book unless you are an Anne Rice addict who will swallow whatever she serves up. "

" I went through a phase where I had to read every Anne Rice novel. I stopped when I got to this book. It was horrible. I barely finished it. It is probably the worst book I have ever read. "

" Beautifully written, but depressing. Although, I'm sure that was her intent. "

" Boring as hell. It's not often I give up on a book. But this one was painful. I got to chapter six then quit, that was about all I could take of the main character Triana. I've never read Anne Rice before and probably never will again. "

" My first book of Anne Rice, and the best! "

" One of the few books I just could not ever finish "

" This book is crazy--insane! But of course, beautiful! "

" Talked way to much about death for me "

" It was Strange! Gloomy! Complex! but also Intriguing! "

" Do not discover Anne Rice's writing with this one. Hard to love even for the hardcore fan. "

" The first 100 pages, our protagonist floats between obsessionally insane, clinically depressed and senility - the narative is disjointed and slow reading. Then everything shifts and it is a fine story. "

" I couldn't get into it at all. "

" One of my favorite Anne Rice novels, it's semi-autobiographical in fiction form and really unique. I love the story and it's beautifully written. "

" Not sure about this one, will see how it turns out "

" Boring! Sad, simple and so boring. Found it on horror section at the library, but I don't really think it belongs there even though it was horrible waste of time. "

" Scary...don't like scary books. "

" Turgid and unfinishable. "

" very... interesting from some point of view. but if someone doesn't like first 30 pages - don't read futher, you won't like it. "

" It dragged from the very beginning. I was waiting and waiting for Stephan to come along, and when he did, it was hardly with any significance. I ended up skimming through the rest of the book and hated Triana's personality so much, I just tossed it aside. "

" I don't remember this book all that well, but I know that I like it and it creeped me out a bit. "

" Boring as hell. It's not often I give up on a book. But this one was painful. I got to chapter six then quit, that was about all I could take of the main character Triana. I've never read Anne Rice before and probably never will again. "

" One of my favorite Anne Rice novels, it's semi-autobiographical in fiction form and really unique. I love the story and it's beautifully written. "

" Proof that Anne didn't need to totally pull a 180 on her religious views to make an alienating book - it only helped speed things up. "

" Very depressing. I kept waiting for the story to get better... In fact, I'm still waiting. "
