Summary: boring at times but it's still a good book
Review: This book is really good. But at times it seems to be boring. I did enjoy it most times though. Most of the time you don't want to put it down.

Summary: One of the best books I've read
Review: This book is a great account told by Louis, the vampire. It's sad but fascinating at the same time. It's hard to put down, and the other Vampire Chronicles are good to read after this book.

Summary: A genre defining work of genius.
Review: Interview without a doubt re-defined the vampire genre. Before 1976, all other vamp novels had basically been very similar to Bram Stokers 1897 classic. But all of that changed with the publication of Interview. Since then many vampire writers have followed in Rice's footsteps, with sexual overtones more prevalent than before, etc.. I would certainly recommend my favorite book to anybody who is looking for a romantic/tragic/sexy story.

Summary: EXCELENT
Review: This book takes you to the French Quarter of New Orleans and back! Lestat the devilish Vampire tires to come to terms that he is a creature of the night, while at the same time, tormenting the frail life of his companion Louis, who detests what he has become, but is afraid to end it thinking that the hell he will enter will be more worse thant the one he is in right now. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT I PROMISE

Summary: All mood, no substance
Review: A great many people are as loyal to 'Interview With The Vampire' as a man is loyal to the memory of his first love. And, like love, to criticize this book, no matter how well thought out, no matter how well intended, will not sway. Therefore I may be wasting my time in writing this short review, but I insist that 'Interview With the Vampire,' though it evokes the mood, has nothing to say. I mean nothing. For hundreds of pages the hero murders people, is in anguish about it, and continues to murder people. He does not murder people for any reason, other than to continue his miserable existence, so that he can murder more people. And yet, Ms. Rice asks us to believe that he is not a monster, not even a villain, but simply an everyman in a non-judgmental universe. But surely we find conviction, and the strength of our conviction from within. We expect this from ourselves and from others; and no one has any sympathy for a monster who fails to live up to that standard. And yet, this book is praised to the skies, has sold in the millions, and was made into an expensive - albeit a mediocre - movie. Go figure.

Summary: One of my most loved books
Review: I'm 18ys old and I've read a lot of books. But just few that often. I would recommend all vampire chronicles, for I simply love them. You can feel the emotions, see the scenery in your inner eye and every time you read it, it will look different to you. I love it in english and german, as book and as film (some scenes I like more in the film, but most times the book is better).

Summary: Excellent book and well read by F. Murray Abraham
Review: The book is a delight to listen to. The tale is touching and gratifying. I would say this is one of the better books I've listened for quite some time. The book is well written, and brings you into the characters. It enthralled me until the end. I would highly recommend this book. F. Murray Abraham does an excellent job narrating, his accent and voice, superb. I can't wait to read The Vampire Lestat next!

Summary: Better than the movie!
Review: I am am 12 years old and an advanced reader. I first rented the movie from Hastings and loved it. After that I read the book. It was wonderful! It explained things much more than the movie ever could, because it told what he was thinking, and it was from his point of view. I love Louis, but pity Claudia. I suggest you read the book then watch the movie. Anne Rice, you are my new favorite author, and I hope the other books in the chronicle are just as good.
