Critic Reviews

"Easily one of the most natural storytellers on the modern scene." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Her voluptuous prose draws readers into an erotic landscape where the sensual delights are dark-edged...and utterly compelling." (Village Voice)

Abridged

Don’t bother. Anne Rice is to be read unabridged or not at all, and the narrator is the worst.
I never delete books but this one is definitely going. Big disappointment.

Prefer book over audio recording

I read the book years ago and wanted to try audible book...although I realize this is an abridged version it feels like big key sections of the book were taken out that showed the connection between the main characters. Couldn't concentrate on the narrator in the beginning with the background music ever so loud and it didn't sound clear and crisp...I'm listening to another book through audible and it sounds good. Disappointed :(

A Surprisingly Good Read

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I chose it for the author. This is a provocative & controversial work which many will find offensive. I read this straight through & was glad I did. It is intense, sensual, & sexual yet there are no explicitly erotic scenes. As far as category, it's kind of Forbidden Romance.

Not complete

The book is butchered so badly nothing makes sense. You're better off finding a physical copy online.

If you want to hear about 1/8th of the book

So disappointing! I read and own this book from years ago but have recently found a love for audiobooks. So much content was skipped and passed over, I can’t understand! I didn’t get past the 1st chapter without stopping and going to fetch my paperback.

Abridged version.

Basic story but physical sex omitted in this abridged version. Good for those who were looking for only that.

captivating

I have loved this book from the first time that I picked it up to read it.Finally I have been able to hear it all in one sitting.
