    First of all, Armand is one of my favourite characters. The way he showed himself in the first two books was utterly fascinating and captivating. Second, I'm confused why some people complain about the sexuality and erotic scenes with young boys. It may not fit to our culture but it should be remembered that times were different then and this book was about that time also.

    Now, I don't know what went wrong but I didn't get the same feeling from this Armand's autobiography. Though I liked the descriptive writing the story bored me every once in a while. There was something missing and it's a real shame. I wanted to weep for Armand and become hooked to his life but it did the complete opposite.

    Il vampiro Armand, il mio preferito, nella sua piena malinconia.
    Ho voluto comprarlo in edizione cartonata inglese, con la compertina dove si vede l'angelo di Botticcelli a cui il personaggio dovrebbe somigliare. E le pagine tagliate a mano.
    In realtà direi che è più bella l'edizione dello scritto.
    Personalmente ritengo che per la saga dei Vampiri la Rice abbia dato il meglio di sè solo nei primi tre libri. Gli altri, come questo, sono cornici un poco sbiadite..

  • It was okay. Longer than Pandora, but just more "fluff". Maybe I just can't relate to Armand as well as some of the other vampires.

  • The Vampire Armand

  • 正如同安萊絲筆下的阿曼德的個性，這本《吸血鬼阿曼德》帶給人一種 瘋狂、烈愛、激情、苦痛、暴怒等多種強烈情緒交雜的轟炸感。

    的確，安萊絲是一位寫什麼就像什麼的筆法精湛之作家。但就是因為這 樣的才能，才會讓我無福消受啊。回想起前幾部的「吸血鬼年代紀」， 每換一位敘事者，整本書的風格就完全改變，甚至對同一件事的詮釋也 大為不同。而青少年時期就被心愛的「主人」轉變為吸血鬼，擁有少男 的外貌與永恆的青春但內心卻已扭曲的阿曼德所述說的故事，其濃豔對 比的色彩簡直刺痛雙眼，同時極高音頻與響度的吶喊也撼動著鼓膜.. ....

Die-hard Anne Rice fans will enjoy listening to this unabridged version of her latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles--the tale of the soulful, eternally young, Botticelli-faced Armand. Reader Jonathan Marosz instills a lot of effort as well as time--a mind-blowing 16 hours--as he uses several voices to take us from modern-day New Orleans back through 500 years of history in this bodice ripper without bodices. Marosz deftly handles the anguished conversations, the bloody feedings, and the ripe homosexual erotica that is bound to turn ears red. Familiarity with Rice's earlier Vampire Chronicles works will help; new Vampire Chronicles listeners may find themselves hitting rewind frequently as they try to discern dialogue, character relationships, and history. (Running time: 16 hours, 10 cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs
