The Mummy by Anne Rice
3.0
Typical Anne Rice.
A couple gripes with this one.
I wish Rice had written this with less fluff and romance- this could have been real great.
It was interesting in the beginning but I found it was annoying how quickly the people 'fell in love' or how much people 'loved each other' all the time and suddenly couldn't live without each other.
3 main male characters at one point had had an affair with each other- it just wasn't realistic. I understand her need to write in a gay couple, that's fine, but why does a third party get involved when the man in question is a womanizer? Didn't make any sense to me and that's when I started losing interest.
Julie Stratford- doesn't seem to care that much that her father is dead because Ramses is now the love of her life that she met 5 minutes ago and is the center of there world.
Cleopatra was quite interesting as a monster- she loved to kill and it was fun reading about her healing process as she became whole again. I loved the parts describing of her gaping wounds that wouldn't heal until she had the elixir.
I liked the fact that her and Ramses were real people in Egypt and the imagined story of their immortality.
Overall a pretty ok book- I just wanted to be finished so I can say I read The Mummy and move on to better things... I think I might be finally done with Anne Rice novels.
