The Feast of All Saints *Completed*


The Feast of All Saints: A Novel (1979)
by Anne Rice
This is one of the books Cindi brought to our relationship and it's one of Anne Rice's books I've never read. It sounds really good and I'm exited to read one of her earlier novels.
**Update**
I love this novel, but unfortunately with starting my classes again I don't have as much time for reading, especially since most of my free time is being spent knitting. This experiment will have to be put on hold.
**Update*
Wow I've been reading this book since before January. I brought it along with us on our honeymoon and managed to get over half-way done with it while we were gone. Once I allowed myself the time to sit and read, I couldn't put it down. She does an amazing job with her detail of surroundings and characters. Even thought the book was full of characters, she developed them well enough I knew them all (I tend to get characters mixed up if there are too many of them). The plot development was perfect as well as the character development. She revealed information at the perfect times, and with only a few exceptions, I was unable to guess the outcome of the book. The last few nights I've stayed up late reading so I could finish.
I'd have to say that this is now probably not only one of my favorite books by Anne Rice, but by any author! I will definitely be reading it again in the near future.
