This is just too deliciously funny to let it pass unremarked.... So apparently Anne Rice's latest novel isn't her most brilliant achievement to date. (I wouldn't know, I don't buy her books any longer. But if it's actually worse than The Vampire Armand I don't want to know...) People (self-confessed fans, too) say as much in their amazon reviews.
Rice, instead of just maybe considering that there might be a grain of truth in so many bad reviews, something her ego obviously doesn't permit her to do, posts a review herself, ranting at long lengths about her 'utter contempt' for those ungrateful, stupid people who can't appreciate the 'virtuoso performance' and 'great art' that is her writing, where 'every word is in perfect place'. I shit you not.
*shakes head*
