Ah, The Wank has Come.
You knew it was only a matter of time folks.
The Wank of Anne Rice's Newest Novel is Here!
Rather than argue over the facts and artistic liberties in Anne Rice's book, how about discussing the book itself - a work of fiction? Everyone has a different viewpoint of theology - none of us will agree on anything. But try suspending all that you 'know' about Christ and general history, and enjoy the book for what it is - a STORY.
So touchingly naive.
Some of these reviews leave me speechless. Now, I am only 20 years old and definitely not a theologian, but it is obvious from some of these reviews that a good amount of the negative reviews were made by people who have never read the book, but have a deep hatred for Jesus and Christianity in general. I will admit I was puzzled to hear that Anne was writing a book about Jesus, but now I can say I am extremely grateful that she did. Her passion for Christ bleeds through the pages of this book and her passion, nor her book deserves to be dismissed simply because it is about Christ. How dare you people come onto this website and criticize a book you have never read! I'm asking those of you who are reading these reviews to see whether or not you should read this book to give the book a chance. This book is a real blessing and I thank you Anne for writing it!

I never thought I'd live to see the day a Christian would thank Anne Rice for writing something.
The story of Christ has been called The Greatest Story Ever Told. There is now a book out called (I'm not making this up) The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told.
Zing!
Look what happens when an "artist" gets religion. Like Mel Gibson, they lose what personal shine they had (and Rice had lost her gloss long ago) and begin to vibrate with second hand vision and second rate insight as they second-guess the "truth" they place in the mouth of the man they consider their diety, their God. A truly gruesome sight. This is going to be a trilogy? Pity the trees.
I pity more than them myself.
You people that are going on and on about Anne Rice's change in writing are being ridiculous.
Stop whining. Seriously, what is your problem? What kind of fans are you? Lord forbid she changes her genre... How long could the Vampire Chronicles go on? They are not "lost". She has not "forgotten them". All good stories must come to an end.
Just because Anne Rice's writing has changed does not mean she is no longer a talented author. Those of you that say that obviously don't know a thing about writing... Talent like she has does not melt away because of such a trivial thing as "religion".
You are saying these things because you think your beloved "Vampire Chronicles" are gone. Are they still on your bookshelf? Can you physically pick them up and turn the pages? Good. Now stop being selfish and be happy that she has found something that has given her a sense of peace in life. She deserves it.
Them's fightin' words!
