Looking through the eyes of a Prophet ...
12 May 2003
Format:Paperback
Knowing this book was about a clan known for their mental instability, I approached it with more of an open mind and with a larger reserve of tolerance and patience. Unlike the book 'Catcher in the Rye', I made it through to the conclusion of this story. The entire story follows the disjointed musings of the Prophet of Gehenna as he goes from one place to another in search of something even he doesn't truly know. Often times the same scene will be replayed from a different perspective to lend a more understandable vision of what has transpired within the story. If these weren't included, I doubt I would've had the literary fortitude to complete the book. If it were the author's intent to illustrate the World of Darkness through the stereotypical perception of a Malkavian who is also held captive by his own prophetic visions, then it was a well articulated piece of work. There's really no other way to come away from this book with anything less than a feeling of total confusion.
If anything, reading this book will challenge your ability to decipher prophecy and translate that which is not communicated with a commonly expected level of elucidation.
If you are looking for a straight-forward ...the commonly expected plot, action, and demonstration of WoD mechanics, et cetera - than you might want to take a look at Clanbook:Malkavian FIRST before reading Clan Novel:Malkavian.
If you understand, accept, and actually favour the inner workings of the Malkavian mind - get this book.

Why?
27 July 2000
Format:Paperback
If you are a fan of the fictional world created by White Wolf in connection with the role-playing game Vampire the Masquerade and the failed Kindred TV-series, you have probably read the previous books in this series. As the last books in this series are not yet out, I am not giving this book a one star just in case in some way this book serves some function in advancing the thirteen novel series. At first read, this novel is only loosely connected with the other novels.
As a stand alone novel, this novel is a complete jumble. While I guess it is supposed to reflect the madness of the Malkavian mind, this does not make for an enjoyable read. Nothing in this book makes sense separate from a vague connection with the previous novels.

Clan Novel : Malkavian
14 May 2000
Format:Paperback
I am an avid reader of all things Vampire, I have read all the Clan novels as they are released. This latest entry into the series is the first one I felt was just not very good. I understand that Malkavians are all mad but this book is enough to drive you over the edge. The story line was not advanced in this piece except to kill off a few more characters. Perhaps I'm missing something but you could of told this story in two pages, the rest of the book was just a wordy jumble of confused prose written in the first person then switching over to dialog between an ego and his ulterego. I know this is fantasy but give me a break, this series has been so good what has happened? I hope the last four novels in the series are as good as the previous eight, I guess thirteen great novels was just too much to ask.
