Summary: For those who would long to be immortal.
Review: This book covers the life and loves of the vampire
Lestat. Rice has a gift for describing real
love between mother and son, man and woman, and man and man.
She brilliantly weaves the issue of love with that
of darkness and beauty and good vs evil.
These are the things that make us alive, and the book
brings this energy, and meaning to life.

Summary: If you read "Interview" you must read this!!!
Review: Interview with the vampire was told from Louis's limited perspective. Lestat purposely kept him in the dark (no pun intended!) about the history and the meaning of being "undead." This book is written not only from Lestat's point of view, but by Lestat himself! (Ms. Rice would have the reader believe, anyway). It adds amazing depth to the tale started in "Interview", and takes the reader through centuries of richness and beauty (and blood of course) in Paris, Egypt, New Orleans, and London, answering "unanswered" questions and creating a vivid, complex, dark world of vampires. If you can read this book, and not long for "Queen of the Damned" (next book in series), you and I are as different as night and day. Being a faithful vampire reader, I'll take night

Summary: A journey with the Vampire Lestat through time.
Review: Here I am once again writing a review for one of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
Although this book can get a little slow at times, it is once again proof that Anne Rice has explored the minds of her readers through message of the Vampire Lestat.
This book is, of course, about Lestat and his adventures through time. All the question you had about any of the characters in the first edition of the Vampire Chronicles are answered within the content of this marvelous piece of literature. There are so many unexpected things that occur in this story that it almost makes you jump when you read it, as if it were a very suspeseful movie. You may cry, you may laugh. But I gurantee you that you will love this book, especially if you are a fan of Ms. Rice.
I recently went to a book-signing in Atlanta of Ms. Anne's. You could tell from the minute she opened her mouth to speak with you (and she DOES speak with everyone who approaches) that she is a truly genuine person.
So...read the book.... ----JCB

Summary: Wild and savage and utterly unnatural....
Review: The reader is entranced and captivated by the story, as it plunges into the lush world of the immortals, with their provocative beauty and eternal guilt and passion. It forces you to examine the world in a new way, to see it through the eyes of an immortal, to ponder their dilemma of murder or life. It examines society in a new light - the dark side of humanity is exposed, one which hungers for the touch of these savage, yet emotional drinkers of blood. The characters are vivid and magnetic, torn between loving and loathing themselves and each other. Full of shadowy beauty..

Summary: Mysterious, Thrill, and Historical
Review: One of good work of Anne Rice. If you really get into vampire stuff, like myself, this is the book you must read. Most mysterious book of three vampire chronicles I read. It has history about Lestat and all vampire kind. Even though Lestat was the most "damned creature" in this book, he had some good side that wasn't shown to others. Two thumbs up. - Felix Lim

Summary: This is the best book!
Review: I loved this book, it was just as good as Interview with the Vampire but I did read them in the wrong order. So when I read interview with the vampire I was very defensive over Lestat because in this book he explains why he couldn't teach Louis everything because his own maker (Magnus)died before he taught Lestat anything about being a vampire so he went looking for answers and finally found a vampire called Marius (the oldest vampire in the world and Armands maker who Armand fought to be dead.) who answered some of Lestats un-answered questions. (just like when Louis and Claudia went looking for anwsers and found Armand.) Also we find out why he hated his father so much and what his father meant in interview with the vampire when he said 'sorry, please forgive me' before he died. The book is writen from Lestats point of view and is kind of like his biography. My favourate part must be the ending when Louis comes back to Lestat after reading Lestats book and understanding Lestat was like he was.

Summary: The Vampire Lestat
Review: Although Interview With The Vampire is more famous than The Vampire Lestat, I think the books are very incomplete individually. I liked that in this book, a lot of things Louis hates about Lestat are explained, and hearing Lestat's perspective was very enlightening and makes his and Louis' stories much more three-dimensional. This is a well-written and engrossing book, one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it.

Summary: the best book from the chonicles
Review: Read "Interview with the vampire" first and than try to change the perspective and see it from Lestat's point of view. First you'll get to know Lestat and than you change your mind if in the first book Louis described him as quite evil, you'll like him. Also you discover some amazing things about Armand, who you get to love even more. I really think that this is the best one. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
