I've mentioned it before
But The Vampire Armand was the most turgid piece of literature I've ever bore witness to. I got about half way through the 600-odd pages and nothing had happened save for a generations old vampire bumming a young boy and then turning him into one of the undead. Honestly, he could have done that in two pages then Anne Rice could have got on with the story... oh, hang on, that WAS the story.

I never finished it. Biggest pile of shit ever (although to be fair I have yet to read any Dan Brown).

haha
couldn't agree more. I've read most of the Anne Rice vampire books, and that one does stand out as a much larger piece of crap than the others.

reckon anyone other than Monty would enjoy reading about vampire paedo gays?

I quite liked the first few
Up to Memnoch the Devil. The Vampire Armand put me off reading Anne Rice for good after that.

To answer your second question... no.
