Nice book, even more so since I read it in English, therefore nothing was lost or changed in the translation. Interesting idea, to show life and society through the ages through the eyes of an immortal. Caused me a few bad dreams, since I had to think about it and imagine the action more than would have been "safe", knowing my reaction to horror stuff, because it simply required much thinking and imagination.
Very good overall, but you simply have to read The Queen of the Damned as soon as possible after it and only rate afterwards.
