A British archeologist in early 1900's Egypt uncovers a mummy's sarcophagus covered with all manner of dire warnings about disturbing the occupant. Undeterred, the mummy is removed; but instead of the mummy claiming vengeance on anyone, someone else murders the archeologist. The mummy is sent back to England to the home of the archeologist's wealthy daughter for display in her home, and the story takes off from there. I read this book after reading Interview With the Vampire; this is clearly notI read this about 20 years ago, when I was still a big Anne Rice fan. I liked it a lot.Recently I was approved for the Netgalley ARC of the sequel. Not re-reading this one here at the moment, as I don't have it anymore. Let's see if I still like Anne Rice 20 years later and if I do, I might come back to Ramses for a re-read.
Hmmmm...Ramses the Great (or Ramses the Damned) is discovered in The Valley of the Kings. He has risen from the his immortal sleep to fall in love with Julie. But when people start turning up dead Ramses raises the seductive Cleopatra from her grave.Um... Ok. So I read this in October as a good monster read. Unfortunately I didn't really get that. I have a few problems with this book.First off (and foremost I think) this is not a horror book by any means. I hate to compare this book to her
I really like when Anne Rice takes a supernatural creature and puts her own spin on it. This novel is no exception, as it was written at the height of her talents. There's something glamorous about this book and how it was written. I wish the author still wrote like this, to be honest as her more recent novels have been of much lesser quality. Does anyone else notice how hard it is to find a hardcover of this? It was harder than usual for me to track one down. What's up with that?
sorry couldn't do it couldn't stick with this one. Rice has written some books i love but this wasn't one of them so im letting it go back to library tomorrow unfinished
I tried to like this book... Undead, mummy, what's not to like?I got about half way through before I decided to give up. It's not that it was badly written, it just isn't my cup of tea. Maybe all the good stuff happens at the last half. But there are too many books out there I want to read to spend my time on a 'maybe'.
I give you the book the movie The Mummy was SUPPOSED to be based off of. In the end they butchered the story so much Anne Rice wouldnt put her name on it. Which is a shame, because this book is (if not better) sexier than the movie.A lot of reviews call it vintage Anne Rice and I couldnt agree more. It gets back to the feel of Interview with the Vampire; darkly sexual with the most compelling plot. Shes seriously one of the best storytellers of all time.A mummy rises, he falls in love, and they
