Product Description

In this installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring you the story of Armand - eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. Armand first appeared in all his dark glory in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire, the first of The Vampire Chronicles, the novel that established its author worldwide as a magnificent storyteller and creator of magical realms.

Now, travel with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion - and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance you see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood.

As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.

The Vampire Armand is Volume 6 of The Vampire Chronicles.

Before i read the Vampire Armand, i was not very aware of Armand - of course Rice mentions him in the other chronicles, but i never really felt a connection with him like i do with Lestat or louis (or any of the other famous characters). However when i read this book, i fell in love with Armand - he is beautiful, sexy and very attractive. The 'moments' he describes between Marius and him are amazing, the reader can really feel the strong love felt between them. The book is very describtive, i felt like i was there - with the characters. Ann Rice is amazing!
I loved the book, and i recommend it to any Ann Rice fan - you are sure to love it!!!

Out of the many vampire chronicles i have read, i find 'The vampire Armand' is by far the best. It involves the reader emotionally with the feelings between Marius and Armand, so when they are torn apart you can feel the loss greatly. I suggest to any Anne Rice,Vampire lover that they must read 'Armand' it is a complete overview of what vampires strive for. I rated it a four because although it is the best i have read, it has a lot of emotion at the beginning which draws you in but it is not carried on as strongly through the whole book. Definately one of the most brilliant books ever written!

Perhaps one of the most enigmatic of Anne Rice's vampire community I was so looking forward to reading about Armand. Her characters have a way of being wholly believable and it was with great enthusiasm that I began this book, after all her makebelieve world is usually so vivd and consumes you so entirely.

I was sorely disappointed with this book, although Anne Rice is known for her purple prose this book takes it to new heights of tedium. So consumed is she with the power of the pen the story gets lost and left behind early on in the book. This book is an exercise in endurance, you really don't care about the story after the first 50 or so pages you just become determined to see it through to the end.

For any "fan" of the vampire chronicles it is a must read book, but it isn't a good book and definitely not one to return to again and again like an old and welcome friend.

Beautifully written
This is the first Anne Rice novel I read, and now I'm hooked. You get completely sucked into to the fantasy without it seeming like science fiction. Read more
