Summary: Entrancing....Unforgettable
Review: I have read this book 3 times and each time it is like the first. I can so easily lose myself in this book, feel as if I'm actually there. I think the most interesting charater is Claudia. It's amazing to see how a child might deal with such a twisted situation. I would recommend this book to anyone who allows themselves to get caught up in a story and really believe it, no matter how strange or irrational it may seem. Anne Rice is an incredible author. And you have to be a special kind of person to truly appreciate her work.

Summary: Sensuous, haunting, beautiful, and dark
Review: Not to sound cliche or trite, but from the first beautifully descriptive page to the last, this book left me breathless, this book had me transfixed. I found myself beginning to care about these characters and as the days went by I saw more and more parallels that could be drawn from this work and applied to 'mortal' life. I liked Louis, in that he was so beautiful, but so tormented. All of the characters around him represented other facets of human personality that often clash with the brooding passive nature that Louis represented. Lestat, the cocky arrogant killer, Claudia, with her petulant childish demands, and Armand, with his detached, wise, and cold affecture. Since reading this book, I have been searching for another that equals its tone and morbid dark beauty, but have not found one to equal the feelings this invoked. This one seemed to embody a perfect balance between historical fiction, horror, and aestetics. I am only sorry I waited so long to read it.

Review: Great Book!!! Who is Peter Soto

Summary: A solid four star read.
Review: This book could have been five stars, but I got bored of hearing Louis consistantly wine about his vampire nature once he became one. At the same time, if Louis would have just accepted his vampire nature as that of a killer (which is all that vampires are according to the book), then I don't suppose there would have been much of a story to read. At any rate, Louis was a complete sniveling wimp. I have nothing about a man being poetic and a romantic, but one can take it to far, as Louis did.

Summary: Delicious!
Review: There isn't much more. This book can lead you into deep perusing of the mind and motives, or just a wonderful story.

Summary: ANNE RICE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING
Review: I give credit to Anne Rice for doing such an excellent book.I mean everybody complements her on the graphic parts of her books. But I personally love how she did this book around her own life story. I am an owner and collector of Vampire books an movies. And the way Anne takes on the roles is one excellent way to perceive this lifestyle through her eyes. CONGRADULATIONS ANNE!

Summary: Best Vampire Novel I've Ever Read
Review: This has to be the best vampire novel I have ever read (as well as the only, but I am starting The Vampire Lestat soon). The technical and emotional details of becoming a vampire and the death of the body were wonderful!

Summary: In a stew with the vampires?
Review: Obnoxiously overrated, king of an empire that's grown ever more insufferable and unreadable as time limps by, Anne Rice's Magnum Opus is more like a Magnum Oafus. Tinsel-pretty, vapid descriptions abound in a story that has no real point, no genuine understandings of life or death, and not even much redeeming humor or irony. People who rave about how "dark" this book is should read Peter Sotos's "TOTAL ABUSE" (not available through Amazon.com, predictably); if they can still speak, then we'll talk about "dark". In the meantime, this book'll serve as a good example of just how easily led people can be.
