Query: A FALL FROM GRACE

After the highly original and well-done Interview With the Vampire, Anne Rice certainly fell from my good graces with this mishmash of the supernatural. Rice has committed the beginner's cardinal sin (she was still a beginner when she wrote this) by peopling her novel with so many extraneous characters just to keep the pot boiling we need a scorecard to keep them straight. Many of them seemed to have nothing at all to do with the story. And where, for goodness sake is the plot? So many readers and reviewers talk about Rice's lush, gorgeous prose but I think purple prose is a more apt description as far as this novel is concerned. Sorry, Anne. You can't cover bad writing with flowery prose and get away with it. Your readers are just too smart!
