Very good and fast service from Amazon and the Vampire Chronicles are great! Excellent writing with well organized stories. Entertaining. I would highly recommend these.

I have not read these books for a while, but when I did, I, like many others, fell in love with the words, the characters and the world they inhabit. Yes, the stories are complex and dark, somewhat disturbing- they are not for everyone. They are also well written, smoothly read, and while fiction, incorporate much historical research.
I would like to point out that I think it was very smart that Memnoch the Devil was not included in this set. With Memnoch, the series changed considerably, and most people either loved it or hated it. If you are a skeptical person, if you love lestat's character in the first books and want to see him in all his brattish, cynical glory continue- and if you are not interested in Christian dogma being incorporated into the series as a forefront, decidedly changing the characters, then STOP before you reach Memnoch. I know its tempting to find out what happens, but honestly it will ruin it for you. The Chronicles dont need to be concluded, and considering many people find the series goes downhill from Memnoch on, spare yourself the pain and let the story live on in your imagination as you want it to.
And go read Rice's Violin, Feast of All Saints, and Cry to Heaven- all magnificent, singular novels that arent bogged down by being part of a never-ending series.
 Awesome November 19, 2008

The plot and characters are very well done. The only draw back is that there is too much time spent describing people places or things, and that everyone in her stories are latent homosexuals. While I am gay, the over abundance of homosexuality amongst the male characters made it seem unnatural and made me wonder a bit about the writer.
Good prices on a good set May 15, 2008

Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient POV.
She recovers nicely in other stories!
Overall a great series if you like vampires. Nice to get them all in one shot!!
Recommended.
