Pros: An excellent continuation of the Vampire Chronicles. Lots of new and interesting history.
Cons: A little bit of a slow start.
Summary: I am always desperately waiting for Mrs. Rice newest vampire book.
The truth is I am only about half way through The Vampire Armand and I'm already dreading the day I finish.
In this book she is taking us way back in the vampire history. We ... read more

Pros: Great story line and wonderfully written.
Cons: The writing is somewhat inconsistent.
Summary: I have read many Anne Rice books and I have to say she is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy her stories involving the vampires the most.

Pros: I can resell it to a used book seller and recoup on my losses
Cons: the con is I trusted the author not to take the readers loyalty for granted
Summary: Where do I begin? Armand is an amoral vampiric homosexual who used to be an icon-painting-monk-in-training (pardon my rhyme) until his fud-headed herculean Russian daddy saves him only to be captured by perverted slave traders and sold to the Godfather ... read more

Pros: Rice is still a master of language
Cons: non-emotive, unfortunately same tired old stuff
Summary: Anne Rice’s coven of vampires have overstayed their welcome, and this is graphically proven in The Vampire Armand. Is “tripe” too passive of a word to describe this little gem of embarrassment?
I first read Interview with the ... read more

Pros: it was a good book
Cons: i can think of none
Summary: The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice
Anne Rice shows very vivid details about everywhere that Armand has lived his life experiences. The book keeps you at bay, keeping you into to it all the way through. It starts out with a young boy ... read more

Pros: interesting and well-planned

Pros: Everything!
Cons: If you don't like Anne Rice's type of writting, it isn't the best book for you.
Summary: I read this book a week straight. I spent my time in school reading page after page of this book. I got a look onto how Armand becamse The Dark Angel of Anne Rice's books. How he became the love of Marius' life -- another of her characters. It ... read more

Pros: We finally learn the history of Armand.
Cons: Cons? I don't think so. Well, Louis wasn't in it so much. That's the only con.
Summary: This book is truly one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Fans of the Vampire Chronicles: Prepare! Anne Rice has done it again. This time she's taken the vampire Armand and prepared for us a complete biography of Armand's mortal and immortal ... read more

Pros: Maybe in future books the info will be useful
Cons: On its own this book is just not interesting.
Summary: In "The Vampire Armand" there is a ton of information and if you just want an autobiography of Armand this is the book for you, but if you are looking for a story this book lacks the "why". Why do we need to know Armand painted in ... read more

Pros: Anne Rice wrote it
Cons: not what I'd expected
Summary: I hate to be the voice screaming in the wilderness, but perhaps I had set my expectations too high regarding this book. After _Pandora_ I was looking forward to another walk through the history of an elder vampire, to see the life he led (particularly ... read more

Pros: fodder for Rice Fanatics
Cons: Have n't you done this before Anne?
Summary: Upon publication of her riveting 1995 novel, Memnoch the Devil, it seemed Anne Rice had drawn the "Vampire Chronicles" to a close. One of the most moving passages of that work was the suicide of Armand, the vampire with the ... read more

Summary: I have read all of Anne Rice's Vampire series. I found the Interview
With a Vampire/ Vampire Lestat to be enthralling, and the books that followed superflous! However, when I borrowed my moms Vampire Armand book, I am sorry to say, I was crushed. ... read more

Pros: The inter-relations between established characters are further enlightened. It was a true pleasure to read!
Cons: Perhaps not for those who have difficulty with alternative life styles.
Summary: True to form, Anne Rice once again employs her seductive, enticingly erotic, fictional style she has become famous for in her Vampire Chronicles.
A bit unexpected, in this novel Anne reveals the innermost workings of one of her most well ... read more

Pros: Vivid Imagery and Fantasy
Cons: Subject Matter
Summary: I have read the Vampire Chronicles, and I have to say that I am a dedicated Anne Rice fan, so the fact that I wasn't thrilled with The Vampire Armand left me a bit disappointed. Armand was in every sense of the novel up to Rice's standard of descriptive ... read more
