Summary: Love at first bite...
Review: This is quite possibly the best vampire book ever written. I can't even put into words how brilliantly written this novel is. Anne conveys the excitement, the pain and the conflict that the undead of this story feel. Their world is vivid, deep and never ending. One of the best in her series and I have read it 3 times. Pay no attention to the movie, the story is different and much more fullfilling in the written version. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to cut their teeth in the vampire world.

Summary: *stunned* its AWESOME!
Review: First off-this book was great-I was hooked from page one and now I'm at the point of doing anything to "meet" one of them-if that were possible anyway. Anne Rice makes the story come alive and she does a great job in making us think that there could possibly be vampires etc. among us ("woo-hoo!!!") The book is about Louis, who at first is mortal, and he tells his tale to a mortal, who is an interviewer (i forgot his name-ahh-sorry-he is usually referred to as "the boy") and Louis tells the story of his life and how he became a vampire (he was made into a vampire by Lestat) and he tells about his love for Claudia (a doll-like 6-year-old who feels like a daughter to him) she was also made into a vampire. I think that its a great book and I recommend it to everyone (12+ tho-because there are some scenes that I wouldnt think to be appropriate for anyone younger) I even went out and borrowed the movie from a friend after I read it-AN AWESOME BOOK!! GREAT JOB ANNE RICE!!

Summary: The book that started it all!
Review: I love this book! Anne Rice is a terrific writter, and has amazing talent. Her history is wonderful. Louis, a two hundred year old vampire, tells how his un-dead life has fared. She introduces characters who will be in her following books. I absolutly fell in love with Louis, and Lestat, and Anne Rice's writting. Read this book!

Summary: Think Dracula's The only Vampire out There?
Review: Guess again baby. There's a whole other world of vampires that you could only dream out until Anne Rice put pen to paper and Louis came out to all the world spilling secrets of vampire lore in this the first of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicals. This truely was an eye opener for me. I read it at age 18 fresh out of high school looking for something other than plan old romance novels to read. I was initially shocked that someone would write about vampires as people with feelings, emotions coupled with Anne's love of history. I found it to be exciting and romantic. But i must be truthful there is a lull in the middle of the book to watch for but give it a try you will like it. Even if you hate the movie.

Summary: WOW
Review: If you haven't read this book, you're cheating yourself! It's brilliant and poetically beautiful from beginning to end. It takes a truly extraordinary writer to create characters of such strength and evil, and then depict them with such depth and vulnerability that the reader falls in love with them, despite the heinousness of their existance. Anne Rice writes with a grace and elegance that is spell-binding. This story is truly incredible.

Summary: Fantastic Introduction to one of my favorite book series
Review: I've always thought that, just as H.P. Lovecraft deals with the macrocosm (i.e., outside ourselves- cosmology), Anne Rice is his equal when it comes to the nature of a person.
It is ironic that, when we read about these vampires and how they feel, we learn more about human nature, and ourselves.
This book deals with an interview with a vampire (surprise) named Louis, and chronicles his descent into the hidden vampiric world with the one who made him a vampire, Lestat. If you read this and like it you must continue reading the other books.

Summary: I love this one!...
Review: This is the book that started a new wave in literature. Ann Rice spins a very convincing tale of 18th century vampires. Read this book and then start the rest of the books, without it you will be lost. Remmeber to check out the movie too.

Summary: Interview With the Vampire
Review: (note: I give this 3 1/2 stars) An oddly captivating read , "Interview with the Vampire" is probably the best book I've ever read about the 18th century. This said, I really haven't read any books from that time that would be better that 2 stars. Knowing me I probably would not have finished this book, were it not for the fact that I really wanted to read the next books, taking place in the present. I attempted to read "Queen of the Damned" (book III) before I got this, and let me tell you, I've never been so confused! Well, back to the topic at hand. There are many scenes that continue on for far too long, and descriptions that last up to 2 1/2 pages. Furthermore, there are no chapers, exactly, so it's fairly difficult to find a decent stopping point. The best part of the book is the addition of Claudia, a 5-year-old girl who hold a true lust for killing. Basicly, if you want to read The Vampire Chronicals, don't try reading the best first: start here.
