The Vampire Armand
by Anne Rice. I got half way through it and NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. Still not finished it.

I quite enjoyed the first three or four in the series though.

Ah
I have heard this from other people too, including one die hard goth who would usually never speak ill of Anne Rice, so it must be bad!

It was awful.
She's given up the Vampire obsession and gone all religious now. Completely disowns the books.

it is shit
I quite enjoyed most of the others, but this one goes like this:

Young boy taken from russian parents by slave traders and bought by gay old man vampire.
while still human, gay old man vampire tosses the boy off and takes him to brothels to shag men and women.
boy gets stabbed by gay bloke he is shagging
boy gets turned into vampire
things are set on fire

It was so awful I'd forgotten the details.
Now I'm not tempted to go and try and read it again.
