Amazon.com
Her first book since Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and the destruction of Solomon's temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones. He is ghost, genji, demon, angel--pure spirit made visible. He pours his heart out to us as he journeys from an ancient Babylon of royal plottings and religious upheavals to the Europe of the Black Death and to the modern world. There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins and the dark forces that have sought to condemn him to a life of evil and destruction.

From Library Journal
Rice's works (e.g., Memnoch the Devil, Audio Reviews, LJ 10/1/95) have ascended to the best sellers lists, and this one is no different. As usual, her central character, a human being in the ancient world, has been made immortal by ancient magic. Yet immortality has its limits. In this case, Aziel, a Jewish boy in Babylonian exile, is sacrificed in a ceremony that houses his living spirit in gold-plated bones. He can be summoned to do his master's bidding, however. Soon, Aziel is called forth by a cult leader as the second millennium approaches. Aziel hates his evoker's aims and realizes that he has free will and powers that he has never tested. Can he save the world from destruction and spiritual bondage? This treat for fantasy-loving patrons is enthusiastically read by Michael Cumpsty. For most popular collections.?James Dudley, Copiague,

Format:Taschenbuch
At first I was a bit put off by the slow beginning of Servant of the Bones, but like a true Rice fan I read on. Then I could not put the book down! I learned a lot about Judaism and history. I was entranced by the idea of a "servant of the bones," and his many travels through out centuries of civilization. While I was reading this book a friend of mine was starting his Ph.D. research on big churches and the lure they have. It's creepy the accuracy with which Rice depicts the power hungry evangelist and his quest for immortality.
Format:Taschenbuch
The Servant of the bones is a very thrilling story, full of religios considerations and magic. Anne Rice paints a vivid picture of the situation of the jews in ancient Babylon and of the every-day-live, full of pagan magic and superstition.
The main character Azriel is an interesting young man, but maby a little bit too ready to sacrifice himself. Sometimes you don't get to understand the reasons for all his actions. But what happens to him is monstrous. Absolutly tantalizing!
Reaching the climax, the story get's a bit too fantastic, but the very idao of 'how to clean the world from human infestation' is very thrilling. Anne Rice givs a dangerously precise idea of the planing and procedure of such a projekt. The point is the connection between purification and devastaion and the readyness to actually go through with the whole plan.
Azriel finds himself in the middel of a conspiracy in a world he slowly learns to understand. He is confrontet with a maliciously insane but ingenious psychopath and a very conservative jewish community and he does not exactly know what's going on. Once he learns, he is willing to prevent desaster, but he doesn't know how to and time is running short.
The wohle plan he trys to stop from succeding is complex and brilliant, but Azriel has to find a way around it to gain salvation, at last to some extend.
The end is absolutly tantalizing and not at all the way one would expect. Anne Rice works marvellously with the differences between deeply felt believe in God and the outgrowths of religious fanatism.
All in all the book is really terrific.

P.S. I hope my english is not too confused and you got the meaning of what I was trying to tell you about the Servant of the bones. If not, just enjoy the book, it is good!

The Servant of the Bones is a very thrilling story, full of religious considerations and magic, as felt by people in ancient times. Anne Rice paints a very vivid picture of the situation of the jews in Babylon and the every-day live, full of believe, pagan magic and superstition.
The main-charakter Azriel is a really interesting young man, maby a little bit too ready to sacrifice himself. Sometimes you don't get the reasons for all his actions right, but he is driven by a very human desire for salvation.
I think, the story get's a little bit too fantastic, reaching the climax, but the very idea of how to 'clean the world of human infestation' is terrifying. The really interesting thing is the connection between pruficiation and devastation.
Azriel finds himself in the position to prevent desaster and gain his long desiered salvation at last, but he does not know what to do exactly. He is confrontet with a malicious psychopath and jewish fanatics. His struggle with his own religios believe and uncertainty gives him trouble too.
The end is really tantalizing and full of hope, but it is not the like of what one would expect after all. That's the reason this book is so enteraining.
Anne Rice really works with the difference between relgious fanatism and deeply felt believe and it is very intense how she does that and what outgrowths fanatism can have.

servant of the bones
spannend und toll geschrieben, ein Buch, das man möglichst schnell und am Stück durchlesen möchte, weil das Aufhören einfach schwerfällt

Completely Enthralling
I couldn't put it down! It was completely enthralling and kept me up until the wee small hours reading without even noticing the passage of time. Lesen Sie weiter...

a poor novel for all dedicated Rice fans
I found this novel to be thoroughly disappointing. I loved The Vampire Lestat (it's among my favorites of the vampire chronicles) and I also particularly liked The Mummy, or... Lesen Sie weiter...

One of the worst books I've ever read.
This book was, simply put, terrible. The prose was overblown, way too flowery, and at times downright funny. Lesen Sie weiter...

Just Fascinating
I can't understand why more people did not enjoy this book, probably because it wasn't about vampires or witches. Lesen Sie weiter...

A very well thought out idea, but not quite there in print..
I found this book to be better than Rice's Vampire Chronicles (save for The Vampire Lestat and Tale of the Body Thief) in that the idea was well thought out and original. Lesen Sie weiter...

Naive
My first Anne Rice book and I almost torched it down after reading 250 pages. The book has a old "mummy movies" feeling and that's great but the plot is incredibly naive,... Lesen Sie weiter...

Skip this one
Just plain poorly written. An absolutely silly opening. Totally ridiculous dialogue. Yap, yap, yap, a lot of talk and little action. Lesen Sie weiter...
