I was reading the book Violin by Anne Rice not to long ago, and I couldn't get past page 28. It's not that I don't like Anne Rice, it's just that the way she wrote it is so.... slow, for lack of a better word. I was wondering if all of her other books were like that, because while I could just get them from the library, I want to hear what other people think first. So, what do you guys think?

Having never read that particular book, I cannot attest to any true comparison. But I can tell you this. With the exception of Interview with the Vampire, I never had any trouble getting into an Anne Rice book, and finishing it quick because I just didn't want to tear myself away from it. I've read maybe just under twenty of her books, so that's pretty good, wouldn't you say? Of course, that is my opinion, and it may not be shared.

The first of Anne Rice's books that I tried to read was The Witching Hour through a recommendation of starting with this book from a member of our lovely guild (unfortunately I cannot remember who).
I bought this book and then found myself, like you did with Violin, unable to get past the first 30 pages. It's a great shame because it was literally just the written style that got me.
Interview with the Vampire, although quite difficult to get into as Tommy said, picks up after a while and is a lot easier than some of her other works I think.
