I may get it in paperback. I'll be interested to see how her new Christianness effects her storytelling.

I still haven't gotten my copy from the library yet. Grrr! I'm really looking forward to this read and it sounds like it's great. Here's a link about it with a video of Anne Rice discussing it at Amazon. Just scroll down to the video screen. There's also a synopsis and some editorial reviews.

I'm inclined to believe in parallel worlds filled with dark bound Snow and Odd adventures.

Finished Angel Time and I look forward to the sequel. This is definitely a book that glorifies God and won't be a book for everybody. No dark horror or complex plot twists. I loved the California setting when the story is in the present setting when the main character visits places places I've been. I love missions. This book delved deeply into the character development of the assassin Toby O'dare. It appears that all 3 books will be about his redemption that is offered via a stranger that turns out to be a seraphim angel. My heart went out to Toby when the angel recounted Toby's life that led him to become an assassin. We are taken to the 13th Century where Jews are persecuted and used in a witch hunt manner to create saints by falsely accusing them (by the Christian community) of killing children. Rice deals with a particular couple's interfaith romance in the time travel segment that shows the torment each person endures by their own Christian and Jewish communities and families. Rice said that one of her goals was to write this book in a manner that both the Jewish and Christian people can enjoy. She did just that.

I'll keep an eye out for when it comes to paperback. Sounds interesting, obviously I'm not a Christian but since it is fiction I can take that without it bothering me.
