| If you like vampire stories, this is the vampire story of the stories! I love Anne Rice's writing and would sugest all her books in a heart beat! |
| Interview With the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles) by Ballantine Books Blood driven |
The "Interview with the Vampire", is a title that literally goes with this epic life story of a vampire named Louis. Anne Rice re-writes her own version of vampire tale. Filled with love, betrayal, loneliness, and a never before felt hunger, a young plantation owner named Louis is turned into a vampire who is distraught after losing his brother and giving up on life himself. The vampire Lestat who gives him the choice to die being nearly drained of all his blood or as he states "drink from me and live forever", takes Louis under his wing, teaching him of what he knows when Louis makes the choice to drink.
This whole book is about one man interviewing Louis as he has grown to be a vampire that is 200 years old. Louis tells of all that was changed when his rebirth took place and how his new broadened senses brought him to see the world as he had never seen or experienced it before. As Louis is taught by Lestat, he is to feed off of living creatures and their blood in order to have strength and survive. Louis chooses to stick with feeding off animals for a while, and is later bended by Lestat to accepting his "Killer" nature and begins to get used to feeding off humans.
Louis later in the story makes the mistake of feeding of a young child and then Lestat turns her into their vampire "daughter". Her real name is never revealed but Lestat decides to name her Claudia. Louis at first does not agree with this act, but begins to love and care for her as if they were family. Claudia becomes a fast expert at her new life and is just the cute and innocent looking little girl for the job. This is a great book to take a bite out of, and I myself did not want to put it down and the ending was definitely worth the wait.

| Interview With the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles) by Ballantine Books Honestly.... |
| I'm not sure if this book was any good or not. I haven't finished it. I couldn't. I never thought there would be a book that I couldn't finish, no matter how bad. I could never leave a book unfinished...until I read this. It bored the pants off me. It's still sitting on my bookshelf right now. Vampires are a very interesting subject...when Anne Rice isn't writing about them. Probably not worth the $0.29 my friend paid for it at Half-Price Books. |
| Interview With the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles) by Ballantine Books Quick! Somebody call a WAHHHmbulance! |
People are going to hate me for this review, I know it. This book started the WAHHHmpire genre. Thank you, for not writing about vampires anymore, Anne!
So, it's a vampire's life story. A very whiny life story. I don't know why everyone is so gaga over this book, because it actually....SUCKS!
Horrible pun intended.
The pace will quicken and you'll be flipping pages only to have it return to a sloth's crawl.
The characters blend into each other and muse pointlessly about existence.
Also, where's the eroticism I keep hearing about? J have read this series many times hoping to deepen my appreciation fot the VC. Hasn't worked yet. |

| Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force–a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write. |

| This is the book that started it all. We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. |
