Rating: Summary: Entertaining and mesmerizing Review: I just finished reading Interview, and let me say that it was by far one of the best book I've ever read. Rice has a way of taking over your thoughts and sucking you into the characters. I first read Tale of the Body Thief and became so in thrawlled by her writing that I've set out to read all of her works. The next to fall will have to be number two of the chronicles The Vampire Lestat. I reccomend Rice's books to anybody who enjoys reading. I also reccomend her works for those of us that usually don't have the attention span to finish a novel.
Rating: Summary: A fascinating insight into the lives of vampires Review: In reading Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice I felt completely drawn to her profound sense of writing and her knowledge of the vampiric psyche, Her passion for our lifestyle and her in depth reaserch into our mannerisims was daunting for one who is still Mortal Her book gave me a sense of pity for Armand and Louis, two lost souls who still have not found what they were looking for, As for my Claudia (who I named my daughter after the doll like child)She is as the same as me,doomed because we broke the rules.This book is a worthwhile cause because you can learn to appriciate alternitaves to living and you can enjoy the fun filled ride and have twisted warped dreams until you can no longer resist becoming a Vampire!
Rating: Summary: SHUTUP, Louie! Review: Louie whines too much. Accept it, deal with it! Although Anne Rice is saying something about our moral ethics and all that... Louie just got on my nerves. It's Survival of the Fittest, guy, so either suck the blood or starve to death!Anyways, Claudia... sometimes she pissed me off. If she was really so unhappy about her childish form then she can commit suicide... Lestat... I love Lestat. I love his mischieviousness, his playfulness... I just love his whole character!! That is why I read the series... even Memnoch the Damned (<---steer clear of this one, guys.) And to the comment from the guy who says he's a Vampire... UH.. OOOOOOKAY. Can you tell us how it REALLY is?
Rating: Summary: This book is for people who love to learn about other lives. Review: I love this book, and Anne Rice describes Louis' feelings as if this were a diary. I hated Lestat's character...he's just somebdy you'd love to hate. Another great novel by Anne Rice.
Rating: Summary: Captivating and Stunning imagery of Darkness and Light Review: As a one time resident of the Rue Royale in the French Quarter of New Orleans, I was taken aback at how I felt transported back to a New Orleans that is both timeless and everchanging....just like Lestat. For those who do not truly know what it is to live in the French Quarter can only imagine it is the perfect setting. The characters of today are not much different than those explored in Ms. Rice's book. As I read the book I could smell the quarter ( you must have visited to understand this.) Each event captivated me. I knew that it could actually happen any night in New Orleans...after dark...and if you know where to look... If not, pick up this book and take a trip back in time, and just around the corner.
Rating: Summary: she doesn't have it right Review: Being a Vampyre myself I can assure you that this is nothing at all like it really is. Anne Rice knows nothing of the world of darkness!
Rating: Summary: eh... Review: This book is okay. The thing that redeems it is that Anne Rice thought of a topic that hadn't really been explored as of the writing of this book. The dialogue and banal philosophizing are boring and insipid, but Claudia was entertaining... The book should really be about Claudia.. Let's dump Louie and his constant whining.
Rating: Summary: This book is wonderfully engaging Review: Interview with the Vampire is an modern classic. It incorporates the vital elements for a well written fiction novel: suspense, action, unusual love triangles, and most importantly, a wonderfully thought out and written plot. Anne Rice makes even the immortal seem lovable and the reader develops a bond with the characters, from the mortal loving Louis, his ill-fated "blood" daughter Claudia, to the unpredictable character of Lestalt. This book leads the reader through a page turning tale that leaves them wanting more. The setting, the highly mysterious, passionate, and voodoo infested 1700 New Orleans, wets the readers hungery appitite for the story of Louis, his mortal death and early ecounters with his "blood" relatives of the undead.
Rating: Summary: Spctacular Review: I am not a vampire nor do I claim to be one. This book makes you feel like louis is your friend. You feel drawn toward Claudia as louis was. When you put the book down you can't help but think about your friends and their great dilemas. This is a book for anyone who has ever wished to feel trully alive.
Rating: Summary: Immortality as poetry! Review: This book forces one to realize the profundity of existence and the awesome power of love -- or some facsimile thereof -- in the face of death -- constant death. In addition to being darkly and beautifully descriptive, Interview is a great read that will challenge some to question vampires' existence along with their own.
