One of her best
I have read everybook Anne Rice has ever written and I can honestly say that this is one of her best. Although technically the book is about a genie, it turns into a historic story of one mans immortality thru magic and despair. He suffers thru time in a near daze,obeying or destroying the masters who call on him til something happens to return him to solid form ,dragging him from a self-imposed coma. The mystery to his awakening unfurls slowly,dragging you into the life and mind of a self-professed prophet bent on controlling destiny. Once you pick up this book it becomes damn near impossible to put it down. This is a wonderful story that will take you away to times past and entertain your mind for hours.

Wow!
I can't get over no one has done a review on this gem. I wasn't too keen on the whole geenie storyline. The only reason i bought the book in the first place was because Anne Rice came to an area Media Play and was signing. Since this was the newest one at the time i bout it and boy was i surprised on how good it is. The geenie is a tragic hero who met his end by becoming a living statue. The book is simply beautifully written and though it lacks action it still gives the reader a wide range of character. This is probably Anne Rice's best work.
