Summary: Her best vampire
Review: I love the fact that at least one female figure in this vampire world is given the chance to talk! It is impossible not to fall in love with her. She is strong, intelligent and the descriptions about old Rome are amazing. There isn't a single unnecessary word in this book. Once you start reading it, you fall into Pandora's world and never want to leave her side. Her story with Marius is also heartbreaking. I love them both. I wish there was a book about Marius also, to tell about all those years Pandora did not see him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If only it was longer...
Review: I thought it was brilliant! The history mixed in the excitment of an intriguing tale is amazing!Pandora is a goddess to remember. I definitely recommend it for those die-hard Anne Rice fans out there...I was left hungering for more at the end... My only complaint is that it ended too soon!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Great documentary on Roman history!
Review: I believe I found this book in the wrong section, it was in Fiction. This is only the second Anne Rice book I've read, first being Vittorio. Of these two books, I believe they both focus on the incorrect elements of the story. I wanted to read a Vampire story, however what I read was a dissertation on Upper-Class Roman lifestyle and Religous History. I was dissapointed that the books were not about the story of a Vampire's life as a Vampire, but rather as the events living up to the point they become a Vampire...do you agree? I am starting on the Interview series next, maybe Lestat, since I already saw the movie, and Im hoping this book is much different. Good Points; well...It is available in the supercool format of BIG PRINT !

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: She's back at top form again.
Review: Anne Rice's last few books are positively monstrous in their incoherence and long-windedness. Thankfully this one is almost right on the mark.

Pandora is feitsy and heroine material, though her relationship with Marius could be better fleshed out. Her baptism into darkness makes compelling read, and I read this book way into early morning.

Now, Anne Rice is on top of that hill again with this book. May she stays there!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Beautifully written but too much Roman history
Review: I enjoy Anne Rice's books for their great detail, and the ease with which you can picture the events as they happen. However, this one was too full of history, and lacking in actually story. If I had torn the middle of the book out, and made it a short story, it would have been great. I wanted more about Padora's 2000 years! More About Marius, and less Roman history. I envy her skills, but I wish she would use those skills to fill out the story better. While enthralled, I was left hungry at the end!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pandora, the irreal woman.
Review: I liked the book for it's descriptions of ancient Rome and Antioch but I cannot say that I liked the caracter who is everything but Rice's. Pandora has a very special way to live. She is quite alien to her environment and although she pretends the contrary she is loveless to everything not even to Marius.

I find in her caracter something far more repulsive: Pandora reflects the very northwestern philosophy of the 21 century although she is supposed to be a chaotic,passionate Roman figure. In other words this woman has no life, no light and thus no relevance, no reality. It is not surprising that she likes her loneliness.

I like her alone too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ranks right up there with the first of the Chronicles!
Review: A subtle book, but it was still a page turner. It was written in a way that was eaiser to understand then the rest of the chronicle books. I strongly recomend this book to anyone who loves to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A non stop reader
Review: Pandora was quite a interesting book, I couldnt stop reading it, It was " cool " because, it was truly a life story of a vampire God ! Hopefully anne Rice will come out with another bok with Pandora in it ! after reading this book It made me think that not all vampire's are bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read book for all the Anne Rice freaks out there!
Review: I found this book impossible to put down and it had a great story line. I fell in love with Pandora right from the beggining and I was so happy to learn more about her in this book when they rarely ever talked about her in the other Vampire chronicles. This is a Five star book and everyone should read it. ^_^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest of the vampire chronicals
Review: Pandora is the most interesting character of all of Anne Rice's creations. Pandora is beautiful, sexual, and interestingly haunting all at the same time. The end of Pandora's telling of her past was so romantically memorable that it embeds itself in memory. Anne Rice has scored with Pandora.
