I'm surprised that Anne Rice fans like this book at all; about all it has in common with her other books is New Orleans & purple prose. Which is precisely why I like it!
"The Feast of All Saints" was Rice's first published novel. The setting & theme set it smack dab in the historicals market, altho the lack of graphic sex & bodice ripping probably disappointed those early readers. It wasn't until Rice hit the jackpot with her Vampire Chronicles that "Feast..." was reprinted & became a steady seller. It still ranks (along with "Cry to Heaven") as a curiousity to those fans.
However, this is a review of this book. How does "Feast of All Saints" stand up as a story? Pretty well. The first half of the book is slooowww, mainly alot of introspection, descriptions & general atmosphere. The plot itself (what there is of one) doesn't really get going until page 300 or so. Even then the reader spends more time inside the heads of the characters rather than observing events. What sets this book apart is the depiction of New Orleans in the antebellum period, & Rice's ability to recreate the life of the quadroons, octoroons & others who were considered "colored" even tho they may only have been 1/16th African! It is almost impossible to imagine what these "gens de colour" felt as they were discriminated against by their own relations while still owning slaves themselves & continuing the racial divide that created them. Rice does a marvelous job of bringing their day to day life to a modern world.

Let me start by saying as a general rule I am no fan of Anne Rice's work. That being said, this is truely a phenomenal book. This book is so well written you feel like you are there spying on the characters. Not only are the portrayals of the creole people chilling, so is the portryal of the city of New Orleans itself. This book makes me long to go back in time to spend an evening in the French Opera house or accompany the characters to the French Market. I have read this book multiple times and take more and more away with me after each read.

I have loved Ann Rice since my first encounter with her books. I read first Exit to Eden then Belinda, The Vampire Lestat and many more. I have not been touched by a book as I have been with this book. As a well read West Indian woman I was impressed not only with her acurate portrayal of New Orleans, I was blown away by her extensive knowledge and reference to the Haitian revolution the time period and the effects on the Mulatto class in New Orleans. I honestly could not put this book down and devoured it in two days. I tend to read at least 5 books at once but this I had to give exclusivity to.
Again Anne Rice has out-done herself, I'm now reading the Pandora series but I know that I will re-read Feast of All Saints over and over. Bravo Anne again you have blown me a way with your talent. RDC

A bit unevenly paced, but excellent story!
The problem with Saints is the first 100 or so pages are stuffed with historical detail, the next few hundred pages lull into an easy going story, and the last 50 or so pages load... Lesen Sie weiter...

Great characters, fascinating history, but...
The characters in Saints are all interesting, and the fact that this is historical fiction certainly helps make them more so. Lesen Sie weiter...
