Summary: Mesmerizing
Review: It was a few years ago that I first spotted this book. I was babysitting overnight (I was still in high school), when I noticed it laying on an end table. It didn't look like something I would have chosen myself, but being an avid reader, not to mention incredibly bored, I picked it up. I closed it at 5am after reading the last word. This is a very visually stunning book. Yes, I truly mean that you see the action down to the last detail. It plays like a movie in your head. I was totally submerged in the gothic beauty of the story and the characters. I have read the other two books in the series and while all were great books, I'm glad "Interview" is the first. In my humble opinion it is the best. Even if "Interview" does not sound like a book you might enjoy, my advice would be to give it a try. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: Absolutely enthralling reading!
Review: This was the one of the best books Ann Rice has written. Having just finished the book I immediatly bought the rest of the chronicles. One by one you become more involved in the world of Lestat. I am now on the last of series. I can't believe this is the end. It can't be.

Summary: The Best of Anne Rice I've ever read!
Review: Interview With a Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the damned were definately (in my opinion) the best 3 books of Anne Rice's that I've read this far. I wish I knew the girl's name who recommended that book to me one faithful day when I was looking for another Stephen King book! I never thought that a book about vampires could be that intriguing or exciting to read but I was wrong! When I finished Interview, I went right out the door to buy The Vampire Lestat and when I finished reading Lestat, I went right out the door to buy Queen of the Damned. If I were to recommend just one book of Anne's for anybody to read it would be the first 3 of the vampire cronicles. Interview With a Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the damned. Definately! I liked those 3 books so much that I have thus far read them cover to cover through 3 times! I've never done that with any other fiction work before. Absolutely fascinating! More fascinating than I could have possibly imagined! Thanks Anne!

Summary: It's so good they even made it a movie.
Review: From the moment I picked up this book, I could not put it down. Some ways distrubing other ways sad, but still music on paper. It takes you through the vampire life of Louis, from New Orleans where he runs with his vampire child Claudia from their creator Lesat, to Paris where the Vampires see them as outcasts. Fantastic, and worthy of anyones time, it introduces you to Lesat, and after you finish Louis's tale you can start Lesat's in The Vampire Lesat, it's so good they even made it into a movie.

Summary: Fantastic!!
Review: I thought this book was very well written. I takes you to a place in time that we can only dream of. Currently I am reading The Vampire Lestat. It is very good to. I only rated Inteveiw 4 stars because Icould put it down. I only rate books 5 stars if I could not put it down. But I should rate it 4.5. I don't like the new rating system though. I don't have enough stars! I wanted to read this book after I saw the movie. I loved the movie soooo much.After I saw it I begged my mom to take me to the book store. She did and my friend (J.Z.) and I read it at the same time. (Of course she finished before me.) But when you read this book you find yourself in a totally different world. You find your self saying: I don't this were in Virginia anymore, Toto! But you welcome this world just the same as if it wer home. But of course you have to take extra procautions about covering the neck areas but I am willing to do that. Well I will do one for The Vamp Lestat when I finish.- thank you!- BB

Summary: Forget Dracula!
Review: I admit I saw the movie first, and I'm a world class Tom Cruise fan, but now I know why even Tom couldn't have done Lestat justice. (Sorry, Tom!) Rice knows what she is about, and the balance of the historical and the supernatural, the religious and the artistic is often just right in this story. For me now, after reading this book and tearing through all its successors as fast as I could lay my hands on them, the word "vampire" evokes images of Lestat or Armand much sooner than it does Dracula. Really, a masterpiece of a book, and all the friends I have recommended it to say likewise.

Summary: A great book to read - it will enrthrall you!
Review: I can't believe that I waited so long before I finally read this book. I have since bought the rest of the chronicles and now have my summer reading set before me. I also have bought the Mayfair Witches chronicles also. Read this book. It fills in where the movie could not fully go.

Summary: Louis's legend comes alive..or maybe just back from the dead
Review: I finished reading "Interview with the Vampire" a few minutes ago. I loved it. I read the last word, turned the last page, and sat there for a while; then I picked the book up and shook it, whispering, "More! I want more!" Thank God there's a whole series. "Interview" is getting a great deal of hype because of the movie, but it deserves every bit of publicity it receives because it's simply the most gripping page-turner I've ever read. It doesn't really fit into a particular category, which is why many reviewers were disappointed with it. I think I enjoyed it so much because it was the first vampire book I've ever read (soon to be one of many), and when I picked it up, I didn't really know what to expect. "Interview" isn't straight horror, romance, or fantasy... It's all these and much more. Louis is beautiful and often surprising; it's not every day that one discovers a sweet, sensitive vampire. Sometimes his intense emotions reminded me of John Lang from "Islandia" ...but that's another story. Several readers complained about the "needless homoerotic imagery" in this tale. This is the first time I've ever encountered the term, but I'm pretty sure I know what it means. Being a big fan of the homosexual arch-villians Kunzite and Zoisite in "Sailor Moon" (an anime cartoon, in case you're wondering), I don't have a problem with that sort of thing, but I can understand how other readers would find it disturbing. My advice: don't worry about it. Sit back, read, and enjoy the rest of the story. Now you all know why, in art class, I made little clay statues of Claudia, Louis, and Lestat, and why, while hanging around at the Fish Market, I drew "Vampire Comics" on the back of the menu. "Interview with the Vampire" is right up on my shelf with all the other great classics like "Islandia," "Divine Comedy," and "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." Quick... somebody ! find me a copy of "The Vampire Lestat"! Hurry, I'm desperate! ^_^

Summary: An intricate and beautifully haunting piece of literature
Review: Interview With The Vampire is an incredibly fascinating story written from the vampire's point of view. Anne Rice's complexity in her description of the world through the vampire's eyes is complex, sensitve, and tantalizing. The reader is drawn into the dark and vulnerable world of Louis and his struggle with his vampire nature as his human nature creates a push and pull tension on his emotions. Lestat and Claudia, the other characters, are also given a uniqueness all their own as Anne Rice paints the picture of the vampire nature as incredibly complex and sensitive as the human nature is.

Summary: Gothic, Beautful, and sensitive
Review: On the first time I read this book, I allmost dropped my eyes off! How can someone write something so beautiful, interesting, and wonderful like "Interview"? The book is a perfect way of telling about something that doesn't excist, or does it..? You can feel the excitement, hate, and love between the persons just like you would of been there yourself! I could almost see the Vampires, Louis, Claudia, Lestat, and the others in my mind! Louis`s sarcasm does really bite! After reading this book, the way I watched the world just changed totally! It was the first time I really felt like a part of the food chain!!! (I`m sorry about the mistakes in my English grammar...)
