It would be five stars.
It was so, so, so close to being five stars.
That ending... okay.

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

It’s too slow and condescending.

i've always been obsessed with this story since i watched the movie as a kid. now, i am a fan of the new tv series by amc so i decided to FINALLY read the original.

someone said this was "gay but not gay enough" and i can't agree enough.
slow-paced

At times this book read really well and I enjoyed it and then at other times I wasn't enjoying the pace and plot. Overall it was okay, I may try Anne Rice books she wrote on witches someday.
