This book is an incredible read. It's pretty long, over a thousand pages, but the story itself is addictive. The way that Rice sets this book up makes you feel almost privileged to be reading what you are, an gets very, very detailed. I do admit that although I still sometimes lose track of who is who's mom or dad, what so-and-so looked like, and all the other intricate details provided, I could re read this book a hundred times and still feel mesmerized.

five stare, loved this book

My favorite Anne Rice novel. Outstanding. It weighs in at over 1000 pages, but I wouldn't have minded it being longer. ( )

Definitely one of my all time top 5 books. Gets quite detailed with the family lines and such but it's one of those books that you could read over and over again. Definitely worth it! ( )

My favorite book ever. Just started reading it for the second time. Although it's a long book, you won't be able to put it down. You begin to feel you know all these women involved in the story and you get addicted. ( )
