Amazon Review

In The Vampire Armand, Anne Rice returns to her indomitable Vampire Chronicles and recaptures the gothic horror and delight she first explored in her classic tale Interview with the Vampire . The story begins in the aftermath of Memnoch the Devil. Vampires from all over the globe have gathered around Lestat, who lies prostrate on the floor of a cathedral. Dead? In a coma? As Armand reflects on Lestat's condition, he is drawn by David Talbot to tell the story of his own life. The narrative abruptly rushes back to 15th-century Constantinople, and the Armand of the present recounts the fragmented memories of his childhood abduction from Kiev. Eventually, he is sold to a Venetian artist (and vampire), Marius. Rice revels in descriptions of the sensual relationship between the young and still-mortal Armand and his vampiric mentor. But when Armand is finally transformed, the tone of the book dramatically shifts. Raw and sexually explicit scenes are displaced by Armand's introspective quest for a union of his Russian Orthodox childhood, his hedonistic life with Marius, and his newly acquired immortality. These final chapters remind one of the archetypal significance of Rice's vampires; at their best, Armand, Lestat, and Marius offer keen insights into the most human of concerns.

The Vampire Armand is richly intertextual; readers will relish the retelling of critical events from Lestat and Louis's narratives. Nevertheless, the novel is very much Armand's own tragic tale. Rice deftly integrates the necessary back-story for new readers to enter her epic series, and the introduction of a few new voices adds a fresh perspective--and the promise of provocative future installments. --Patrick O'Kelley --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"Anne Rice fans will no doubt be thrilled. . . It's not just the epic plot but Rice's voluptuary worldview that's the main attraction" (Washington Post)

5.0 out of 5 starsI could not put this book down!!!!
By A Customer on 8 Mar. 2002
Format: Paperback
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!!!

By vichi17@hotmail.com on 30 Dec. 2000
Format: Paperback
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsamazing
By slick on 1 Oct. 2006
Format: Paperback
This book was brilliant from beginning to end and has everthing I have come to expect from Anne Rice. Her discriptions of venice where incredible, I could actually see the winding streets of Venice and the famouse canals that run through the city. I could picture the Plazzo with its beautifully decorated rooms of red and gold.

In this book I also found out so much about the relationship between Marius and Armand the romantic scenes between them where really powerful. From this book I found out the Armand saw Marius more as a lover than a master.

This book was fantastic it had romance, action and drama and I would recommond it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest of the Chronicles...
By Vittani on 12 April 2005
Format: Paperback
Anyone who says this book isnt good didnt read it write. But maybe i am biased i have loved Armand since i first saw him in the film version of interview with the vampire, though Antonio Banderas's portrayal was perfect he didnt look the part. The Auburn haired Angelic Vampire Armand suffered through most of the chronicles until his apparent suicide in Memnoch the Devil, it was only the knowledge that she hadnt truly killed him off that stopped me from doing something very stupid and childish. With high expectations i sat down to read about armand and was not dissapointed, the more she writes the more Anne Rice knows about her characters and though they are imaginary they appear so real and humane. A Vampire is supposed to be an inhuman killer like Dracula, which i loved but gods i do prefer the modern sensitive vampire who hates the death he causes and either takes those who want to die (like Armand) or takes only the evil doer. The majority of the book is spent with Armand as a mortal youth in Marius's home, a vampire and painter, millenia's old. Who loves Armand dearly and sets about molding him into the perfect companion, but fate intervenes and Armand must be made before his time. Some people do not appreciate the significance of the relationship between the adult vampire Marius and the seventeen year old Armand. Love is love and this type of love is not perverted as some people say but truly marvelous, as Marius a dead being can only kiss and embrace the one he loves, overcoming such odds as those presented in the book shows that this is nothing less than unconditional love and those who think less cannot have experienced it for themselves. Armand enjoys one year of Vamparic bliss with Marius before Santiago's Coven comes to destroy them and the little world they created in Venice.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starscaptured my imagination
By A Customer on 24 April 1999
Format: Hardcover
I thought the book was very well done. Many people were not happy with the homosexual content, but there are many points in Rice's books that are suggestive of homosexuality and pediophile. She gave us some ideas about the relationship between Marius and Armand in earlier books, so there should be little surprise concerning their sexual exchanges. It may be a bit uncomfortable (and sad) to think about, but having a slave as a sexual pet was very much a way of life at that point in history. And the sex is really not that explicit. I did like the fact that she made the relationship between the two very beautiful and devoted. I could almost understand (if not condone) how a young man and an older man can have such love. I was totally captivated by their relationship. It was reminiscent of the Claudia/Louis love. I did however keep things in perspective. One must remember that it is, after all, a fantasy. None of us really want some undead person, no matter how beautiful and philosophical, hanging around our house. Just as I don't think men should be seducing young boys. I must add that I especially like how these vampires just absolutly adore each other one minute and are positively put out the next. I believe that is how Rice is trying to show us that they are so different in each other's eyes. For example, my side of an argument is not the same as the person I was arguing with. I rate books on how easily I get drawn in and forget the time. This one was a "Oh! has it been two hours already! Looks like Micky D's for dinner, again."
