Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Anne Rice was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provided the backdrop for many of her famous novels. She was the author of more than 30 books, including her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, which was published in 1976. It has since gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time, and was adapted into a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, and Antonio Banderas. In addition to The Vampire Chronicles, Anne was the author of several other best-selling supernatural series including Mayfair Witches, Queen of the Damned, the Wolf Gift, and Ramses the Damned. Under the pen name A.N. Roquelaure, Anne was the author of the erotic (BDSM) fantasy series, The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. Under the pen name Anne Rampling she was the author of two erotic novels, Exit to Eden and Belinda. A groundbreaking artist whose work was widely beloved in popular culture, Anne had this to say of her work: "I have always written about outsiders, about outcasts, about those whom others tend to shun or persecute. And it does seem that I write a lot about their interaction with others like them and their struggle to find some community of their own. The supernatural novel is my favorite way of talking about my reality. I see vampires and witches and ghosts as metaphors for the outsider in each of us, the predator in each of us...the lonely one who must grapple day in and day out with cosmic uncertainty."

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty much what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2011

I knew from reading past reviews of this work that it pretty much recapps other books she has written so I wasn't expecting anything else. I enjoyed reading some more of the back story however. I have to say I didn't like Marius before reading this book, and I like him even less now. I was always bothered by how he simply abandoned Amadeo to his awful fate and used Bianca to heal then was so ready to leave her for Pandora. I feel he got what was coming to him in regards to his miserable life. Bianca was strong enough to leave him on her own, but Amadeo desperately needed to be rescued, instead, Marius leaves him in a personal hell and won't involve himself in it because "all I saw in him was the same desperate saddness". Gee, I wonder why! Marius professed to love Amadeo, but I don't call that love. He used him when he needed him, then walked away when it might mean a little pain for him. His obsession with Pandora irritated me. I mean, he was the one who left her! Thorn was a confusing character, but somewhat enduring. Maharet I never cared for. She was a weak leader at best. Santino absolultely deserved what he had coming, but I cant understand why it took Marius so long to decide he needed to die. They worked together in past books (The Vampire Armand). Why didn't he just kill him then? Didn't really make that much sense. But still, it is Anne Rice, so it is a wonderfully written book even if some of the characters irk me. If you like the chronicles, give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars A way continues...
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
The trick with "Blood and Gold", as with any series of connected books, is that we are learning more about things we have been previously shown. Marius has appeared time and again, and each time we have been given a little more information. This time we see him (and the world around him) through his eyes...through his words. Along the way, more characters are introduced, others are more defined, and curiosities are made "curiouser." Anne Rice's ability to weave the same stories from alternate perspectives is not only intriguing but even refreshing. Characters I think I know...I don't. Actions I think I understand...I don't. Her artistry is enabled by her craftsmanship...a craftsmanship that is never cliche', that never draws attention to itself to the detriment of her art. I never find myself saying, "There's that favorite word or phrase." I am never taken out of the moment by her need to tell us how clever she is. She is the canvas upon which the paint has been applied. I am unaware of her presence yet, in the end, I am always grateful for it. I have never been disappointed in Anne Rice's work, and I look forward to continuing in that direction.

As I have time to expect from Anne Rice, this is an excellent and very rich book. I'm not a big vampire fan. I started (for spiritual reasons to read a book suggested by a good friend) for that purpose which was Memnoch the devil. It took a little effort at first as it was a slow starter but then I was hooked on the vampire chronicles and this book is as absolutely amazing as they all are. I highly recommend all vampire chronicles books and I am looking forward to the one she just released or is about to. I think it's called Prince Lestat. I can't wait and I hope she keep them coming! She is amazing at bringing you into the story. She always does a very thorough job with her investigative homework and produces very visual and experienctial book about everyone and everywhere they go. She absolutely brings you into the story and I actually learned much as well. Any historian will find this informative and delightful.

The Vampire Chronicles are always a good read. If you like the other books you will not be disappointed as Marius is a main character through most of the Vampire Chronicles.
