“It's like a dream, American life. It frightens you. You feel you have to make fun of it, no matter how much you secretly love it. I mean, here is everything you want. You have to say it's horrible.”

Anne Rice is a master of writing dialogue. Wow! Especially dialogue that expresses the power games people play. I didn’t know what to expect of Anne Rice, I didn’t expect the dialogue to be this compelling and sharp.

“Like a ghost she looked, actually. Positively eerie. I mean, she suggested somebody who was apart from things around her, somebody who had seen things and done things that others didn't know about.”

First Anne Rice novel, and her writing style really draws me in. I love the the turn of her phrases.

Well written!
