Thoughts on Anne Rice

[Musicman408]

Hey All. I know Ms. Rice's name has come up before when talking about favorite authors. I wanted to get your take on her. She is a very nice lady, and has given me many words of encouragement on writing over the years, but I'm wondering if I'm trying too hard to REALLY enjoy her work.

I started reading the Witching Hour about a year or so ago, and made it around 250 pages in, but had to take a break. I started reading Belinda very recently, and after around 250 pages, am having to put it down for awhile. I'm wondering if I'm just not a fan of the meandering storytelling, and prefer the more blunt direct style of other authors...

Any thoughts on this?
