Summary: Sinister and Intriguing
Review: Anne Rice is a compelling writer. Interview with the Vampire is sinister, compelling and intriguing. The only thing was toward the end I found my concentration waivering a bit. I have read this book twice and it has been the same each time. I think some areas ramble a little too long. Still it is a great read and I recommend it highly.

Summary: It was great.
Review: I have only recently gotten into anne rice's books, and I find them both spellbinding and enthralling. I don't know any author quite like her for gothic atmosphere, and her carectars are generally interesting and believable (with the execptions of certain mayfair witches.).
I really liked interview with a vampire for a wide variety of reasons. Firstly, it had a good gimmick; it was able to take the old, overused vampire genre, and not only make it seem fresh and new, but actually add elements to it. I thought that the charectars were undeniably interesting. And lastly, I loved the gloomy atmosphere. It made me want to go to New Orléans.
Over all, it was a goods read.

Summary: Almost perfect
Review: Interview with The Vampire is told from the view of Louis,the brooding immortal with plenty to say.Considering 98% of the book is in quotation marks.So why only 4 stars you ask?It's a bit confusing and most of it isn't cleared up until the second book, The Vampire Lestat.Personally,I couldn't finish it at first.I read about half of it and then skipped to the very ending,and I'm usually a very patient person.However,once I read The Vampire Lestat and re-read Interview with The Vampire I fell in love with it.Such emotion in both extremes,love and hate,can only be put down on paper through Anne Rice's pen.Or typewritter,or whatever,you get the point.Louis is a lovely creature who loves the clever Claudia,trapped in the body of a child,but not without a womans rage and Lestat is a devious little devil with his own plans in store for his 'innocent' fledglings.
Or perhaps they'll get the better of him.An absolute MUST read.

Summary: A Gothic Wonderland of Mystery and Gore
Review: I thought that this book was vivid with rich detail and figurative language. However, I thought that the "resurection" of Lestat could have been explained a little beter. But the author's beautiful descriptions of the areas that Louis and Claudia visit throughout Europe and of the vampire nightclub made up for this slight flaw. This book is a definite must- read for horror lovers like myself. And once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! The Interview with the Vampire was most certainly worth my money, and I was well satisfied.

Summary: Interview With the Vampire
Review: This is a masterpiece that stands alone in the book world. I'm sure anyone who picks this book will agree. I couldn't find the time to put it down. Anne Rice paints a perfect picture for the reader through her percise detail and literary perfection. You can almost feel the hot damp breath dancing down your neck as you read along the story. I enjoyed how Anne Rice used the perfect characters to bring life to a twisting story. Interview With the Vampire sets the standard for modern day gothic literature. If your looking for an enchanting story that will leave you terrified don't hesistate, pick this book up. Anne Rice defines perfection with this one.

Summary: Short and Sweet: Interview with the Vampire
Review: Alright I'm not going to give you florid details about this book or any other thing I review. I'm just going to give you the lowdown. This book is what started my Anne Rice obsession. I picked it up at the library and read it start to finish in three nights. It's such a literary masterpiece that you can not put it down. Rice's writing is superb and her attention of detail is what makes this one and all her others in the Vampire Chronicles so fantastic. If you have not read an Anne Rice book, this is definitely where you should start. It is the beginning of her work. If you're thinking about picking this one up, do not hesitate. Buy it. It's awesome. That's the lowdown, short and sweet.

Summary: Read this just to get a feel for the books.
Review: While I find Anne Rice to be one of the least talented authors I know of, when she begins a series of books I have found she does so with the best of intentions. "Interview" was at best an introduction into the series, and something I recomend to people only because it opens the door to "The Vampire Lestat". The next book in the series is really the crowning jewel of the vampire books and is where Rice originally intended to stop. "Interview" begins in lyric prose, but soon falls victim to poorly thought out character concepts and angsty mellodrama. There is a great deal of sighing over lost humanity and an enormous amount of uninteresting soul searching on the part of the main character. Fortunately I found it a quick read and I was able to move on rather quickly. Read it, but don't expect too much.

Summary: not for weak stomachs
Review: two and a half stars... first of all, i'm not bashing the book for its subject matter. i'm not a bible-thumping blowhard. as a writer/reader, i keep an open mind to all types of literature, so my review is about the story, not the subject. i admit i don't care much for vampire/goth literature, i rarely watch horror movies, because most horror films are so badly made; same with horror novels. rice is an ok writer, but i never really felt like i was connecting with the story. lestat was actually a fascinating character, in spite of his arrogance.
there were actually a few times i wanted to retch, but i finished the book. it just didn't move me. i did love the way rice wrote about louisiana, especially new orleans. i would much rather read " feast of all saints.
