At times, yes. However her writing is so rich and textured, that you can almost smell the blood...
I really care very little about knowing the most intimate details about every characters wardrobe.
<lol> That's pretty funny. But it comes back to taste I suppose. Something you may have already touched upon with me...<lol>
Her books have so much detail that it seems almost to be filler to get the word count up.
Filler? Filler you say!!!!. Blasphemy...well ok it not blasphemous, it's just that I love Anne Rice.
BTW, I thought Blackwood Farm was excellent.

I enjoyed it, but was dourly disappointed. If you don't mind, could you elaborate a little as to your feelings towards the book?
