Anne Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles' defined a genre, but now she has another age-old story in her sights: the terrifying werewolf legend. The classic monster of horror fiction is here reimagined and reinvented, with all Rice's supernatural sympathy and inventiveness, as a romantic being, a potentially tragic figure bestowed with the gift of transformation and transcendence.
The Wolf Gift is a glorious celebration - of storytelling, of possibility, of truths revealed in the half-light. And in The Wolf Gift's Reuben, we have a brand new hero for a brand new Anne Rice world.

Nope. Just nope. What the heck was I thinking. Oh my did life mock me. As I progressed further into the book at first, I thought hey! This is not bad. Reuben of course, could be worked on...maybe with a couple of bats to the face, groin...maybe hear a bone crack or two for his incessant stupidity bu...
Anne Rice was a pretty good writing vampire stories. Now, coming to wolf man, I'm expecting a juicing story. No. Not happening. There is no plot. Nothing much is happening. The only interesting part of the wolf man is him being unusually handsome and take selfie when he changed to man w...
Książka Anne Rice jak zwykle mnie poruszyła. Z jednej strony jest bardzo bogata pod względem głębi. Kiedy każda postać z osobna ma własną historię i bagaż doświadczeń. Z drugiej doskonale widać w niej osobę samej autorki. Swoją serią o wampirach stworzyła wręcz kanon. Co warte odnotowania pisarka mi...
Well, I have started off 2014 with a bang, folks!This is the first book I have ever labelled as Did Not Finish (DNF). I got about 52%, and I couldn't take the humming on and on about the religious consequences of Reuben's "gift." It was just too much for me.Full review to come... and I read a synops...
