In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand—eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. We go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion—and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius.

Believe what you read about the narrator
Revisado: 11-11-24
The story itself was neat enough. Up until this point it was hard to sympathize with Armand’s awful behavior but allowing him to share his story definitely provides a lot of insight and context into why he is the way he is.
However, this is the dullest, most monotone narrator I have EVER heard and he takes so much away from the story it’s almost infuriating. Scenes of violence, of betrayal, and of intimacy are all robbed of their weight and impact because of his simply reading words on the page like a book report. If you can find a different recording or find time to read the book yourself, I would highly recommend that over wasting money or a credit on this. It’s a slog to hear for the hours that it takes.

The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

There’s a lot to learn. The man is such an inspiration and having him read it himself brings a whole extra level of connection to it than his Total Recall autobiography.

While the book is guided mostly towards educators of young people, there is a lot of information that can be useful to anyone interested in suicide prevention efforts and how to maybe establish some official efforts within your own organization. It lists an incredible amount of trainings you can take and where to find them, it gives critical pointers in how to set up a Storytellers/sharing program, and quotes some key players in the field.
My biggest Hangup was the melodramatic way in which the reader would read notes from young people struggling with thoughts of suicide. I would imagine she thought it’d be giving them more of a voice but, with as often as testimonials are included, it becomes incredibly grating and condescending in a way that she gives every teen the same tone and timbre of desperation. This is just me, but I feel it would have been more respectful (and digestible) to read those things in an even tone rather than attempting to assume what the struggling child may have sounded like.
