While torn between his vampire passions and his overwhelming love for Dora, Lestat is confronted by the most dangerous of adversaries he has yet known. Through the whiteness Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic daughter of a drug lord, the woman who arouses Lestat's tenderness as no mortal ever has. He is brought into direct confrontation with both God and the Devil, and into the land of Death. Just embrace the story for what it is and you will find yourself questioning everything you ever believed, thought you didn't believe, or were told to believe.NATIONAL BESTSELLER * In Anne Rice's extraordinary novel, the Vampire Lestat-outsides, canny monster, hero-wanderer-is at last offered the chance to be redeemed. If you are a fan of physchologically introspective, philosophically compelling tales or find the subject of theology fascinating (I'm not Christian/religious at all, but find the origins or religion to be a very compelling subject) you must give this a try. Like I and other reviews have said- if you just want a Vampire Story, skip it. YES! I normally listen to my audiobooks while driving, and found I was just so engulfed with this one that driving became difficult. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? If you want a true Vampire Story, you really won't find much of one here, but what you will find is a haunting, mesmerizing tale that is unlike anything you've ever heard before. Memnoch delves into the fascinating origins of life as we know it and the evolution of religion on a scale that is difficult to encapsulate in a short review. He's the type to roll his eyes over anything involving vampires, so it was a hard sell, but he's just as entrenched in it as I was. I'm already listening to it a second time so my boyfriend can experience it. It is indeed much more philosophical than many readers might be prepared for, but I was sitting there with rapt attention, jaw hanging open, fully absorbed and fascinated by every word Memnoch had to say! Honestly, this might be the best book I've ever experienced. I'd been looking forward to getting to this book in the Vampire Chronicles for a long time, and it did not disappoint. What made the experience of listening to Memnoch the Devil the most enjoyable? You'll question everything you ever believed!
