Explanation Conducive To Books Servant of the Bones

SERVANT OF THE BONES is Anne Rice's new electrifying novel, with a hero as mesmerising, seductive and ambivalent as the vampire Lestat. Azriel is a restless Jewish spirit, born almost 2500 years ago in Babylon, who can be called forth by whoever holds and understands the arcane mystery of the casket of golden bones he is tied to. Caught between heaven and earth, Azriel is forced to bear witness to the long and troubled history of Western civilisation, from the household of an ancient Greek philosopher and the deathbed of Alexander the Great, to the Mongolian Steppes and fourteenth century Strasbourg, where Jews were made scapegoats for the Black Death. And finally in the present, he is summoned to witness and avenge a brutal murder on Fifth Avenue. The dead woman is Esther, step-daughter of Gregory Belkin, fanatical messianic leader of a worldwide cult, the Temple of the Mind. Belkin is known to be the son of Holocaust victims, but he has a secret history which binds Azriel's fate to his. SERVANT OF THE BONES is as rich and terrifying, as sensual and violent as any novel by Anne Rice - an enthralling epic which conjures up more than two thousand years of Jewish history and penetrates the unfolding mysteries of evil, redemption, life and death.

Piece About Books Servant of the Bones

I'm not quite sure how much I like this book. The concept of the plot and of Azriel's character is fairly unique and very interesting, at least compared to anything I've ever read or heard - that part I really enjoyed. The book seemed like a mix between one of her usual plot-based/action-based books and one of her histories. The plot itself was good, and somewhat compelling; however, most of the book just DRAGGED... The book could have been much better had she written less, and compressed the

The Servant of the Bones falls into the Crunchy Vegetable category. It took me quite a while to really get into the story. In my quest to own and read everything Anne Rice, however, I endured and interspersed my stints of reading Servant with nice helpings of Ice Cream books. In the Servant of the Bones you meet the spirit Azriel as he tells his tale to the Professor and Author Jonathan. Azriels tale is one of great sorrow, fear, and in the end, love. You look at the human condition on a scale

Admittedly, I didn't finish this book. I read 60 of 360 pages and found it torturously boring and overly descriptive. I think it was laced with a sleep aid.

After being disappointed by 'Violin', I gave this book a try. Thankfully, it proved to be better than the other book. It's not on par with the Vampire Chronicles, but is a decent and satisfying read, whether for the Anne Rice fan or for someone just looking for a good read.The story is interesting (the past story of Azriel and the present one of Belkin, his cult, and the surrounding events) and I actually liked this. I wouldn't quite give it a four, but it deserves better than 3, but

I have a love/hate relationship with Anne Rice. I love her when she moves stories along. Her skills are wonderful and drive the characters and the situations beautifully.Then she lapses into feelings and souls and a bunch of mumbo-jumbo blah blah blah that I couldn't care less about.This was the latter rather than the former.Really, the book could have been 100 pages long, but instead takes you through a thousand years that mean nothing and twenty pages of meaningful stuff at the end.Blah.

Better than expected - after struggling through the VIOLIN and that awful one about the castrated singer - I did not expect much from this - but it had most of the best elements of Rice - and fewer of the worst.The prose was less in the way of trying to be epic poetry, and although the characters were clunky and badly written - the pseudo-historical parts were interesting enough to keep me in there. Seems like this was the second straight book of Anne Rice that had the line, "I was amazed, but

"There is one purpose to life: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the worldits beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. Always, if you have a choice, be kind. Remember the poor, the hungry, and the miserable. Always remember the suffering and those who need. The greatest creative power you have on earth is to help others-the poor the hungry, the oppressed.
