Rating: - dissapointing

i have been hooked to some of the previous vampire chronicles but this was hard to read and dull. anne rice can get it so right some times like the first of the lasher books was amazing and then the second two were just not as well written....

Rating: - a great read

Pandora is my favourite from Anne rice by far, the way this book has been written with so much detail to everything you find it so easy to picture the characters the history.such an easy and enjoyable read.

if you like this i recommend Vittorio also a great book

Rating: - The Vampire Pandora

In this book Ms. Rice has Pandora write her history in the blank pages of a note book at the persuasion of David Talbot. We start in present day Paris, where David makes his request. And Pandora sems reluctant to comply. But she does start to write, and as she does we are transported to her past, the year 15 BC, Rome.

She picks up he history when she was a mortal child in Imperial Rome when Caesar Augustus ruled. We see her meet and fall in love with the then mortal Marius. And all seems idyllic. But then events beyond her control, force her to flee her home city of Rome for Antioch. Her she tries to face her fears and the mystery of the dreams she has been having. And of course she is reunited with her Marius, who has gone through changes of his own.

The Novel also gives you a quick glimpse of Imperial Rome from good years, to it falling apart and the cooruption that caused that. And the splendid port of Antioch is briefly covered. Pandora's interest let us become reaquinted with the sholars/philosophers of the time. And how their contemperaries thought of them.

This book was a very fast read. And you do not need knowledge from any of the other novels to enjoy it.

Rating: - One of the best

I read this book many years ago, and I still find it to be one of the most fascinating and informative Anne Rice books. It does demand some concentration of the reader, so don't read it on the beach ;)
