Audio Book The Vampire Armand (Part 1)

Audio Book The Vampire Armand Abridged, Read by Alfred Molina. In this 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 travel 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, who masquerades among humankind as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood.

As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship, to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.

This totally skipped some of the dialogue in the first chapter. They didnt do my favorite scene when Armand sneers at David about everyone want young boys. That is a disappointment and i to am not wild about the readers voice.

There's an abridged version of this book?

Yes!

Don't get me wrong, I love the full-length one, but an abridged version is nice.

@vjmartinez88 Why is the book abridged? To make it more main stream friendly?

At least as I see Armand, he is a little child. He is naive but at the same he knows what he's doing. He's as innocent as a kid that, as Talbot said, pulls the wings off a fly: he knows what he's doing, yet he sees nothing wrong with it, more so if it's... a dead fly. ^^ He's as practical yet as innocent and passionate as a child.

I dont like the way the reader voices Armand. He makes him sound naive...wrong inflections.
