I am not particularly religious, but I do believe in God, so this book intrigued me. I love Anne Rice and had always wondered why she changed the type of books that she wrote. It was a huge mystery to me. I had always thought it came about due to her near death experience in a diabetic coma and the death of her husband Stan. Those things added to it, but this book describes in detail how she went from an atheist to a Roman Catholic again after 38 years away from the church. It was fascinating. I had to skip over a few overly religious bible stories, but other than that I loved it. I think you have to be a big Anne Rice fan to read this or else wanting to know about New Orleans in the 40's and 50's.
Now that I finished this book it has given me insight in to the stories inside some of her books. i just had to rush out to Barnes and Noble this morning and purchase the following Anne Rice books:
1. Belinda
2. Christ the Lord
3. Violin
As the when I actually get around to reading them? Heaven only knows.
