I am a fan of Ann Rice's works. This is a good, neat 1 book story. So if you don't have the stamina to read an on-going series and still want her style, this book is the one for you.

Anne Rice takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and the destruction of Solomon's temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones. He is ghost, genji, demon, angel--pure spirit made visible. He pours his heart out to us as he journeys from an ancient Babylon of royal plottings and religious upheavals to the Europe of the Black Death and to the modern world. There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins and the dark forces that have sought to condemn him to a life of evil and destruction.

Anne Rice's character Azriel of Babylon, circa 600 BC, is one of her more fascinating characters.

Anne Rice's books are full of the struggle between good and evil and this book is no exception. Meticulously detailed, this sometimes gruesome tale (gruesome in the description of how the main character became the servant of the bones)is full of Kabbalistic-tinged lore brought into modern times by the calling up of the servant of the bones from his journey through time. I always feel a little ambivalent while reading Rice's books, teetering between liking them and hating them, and I think that's the essence of a good horror story. A great read.

Great book! Wow, what a great ride. The characters, story line and rich details knock this one right out of the park. Keep yourself in the know, read her books about vampires!

I am not into the vampire stories, this book was given to me by a friend to read and I am glad I decided to really read it. This is still one of my favorite books. I have read it twice now. I would love to see it made into a motion picture.

Not really sure how this book left me feeling. I didn't love nor hate this book. I guess I could say its a good escape for the next few hundred pages.
