Search - A Density of Souls

This book is proof that great writing is definitely in your genes. Christopher Rice, son of Anne Rice, has delivered a powerful debut novel. "A Density of Souls" is the story of four friends who are separated when they enter high school; two are jocks, one is gay, and the fourth is the girl who links them all.

The book is very straightforward. It stares with an unflinching eye at the bigotry and violence against homosexuals. There are also several graphic sex scenes. However, this should not deter you from reading this interesting, somewhat sad novel.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I think the book would have been more believable if the author had pared down the drama.

The characters are very easy to relate to and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. A great novel!

Written by author Anne Rice's son-- very well written. This is a somewhat sad tale, a story of 4 friends who live in New Orleans. Their lives torn apart by greed, envy,chaos, violence--and murder. Four friends that keep secrets. It is also a sexy story with some graphic sex scenes that you should be forwarned about. This was a good story line and worth the price of the book.

This was a good read. My first book I read of Rice's. Some graphic parts... some drawn out parts but all in all good:)
