Summary: The True Confession
Review: This is simply a confession of not just a vampire it seems but how people actually feel. Louis relates his mourning and the end is saddening because he loses all his emotion and becomes a truely depressed vampire. Claudia responds to everyone because of her hatred to the "monsters" that made her. Lestat takes on every offense he has but that isn't much.Over all the book really shows society on it's edge.

Summary: Seductive and Impressively Well-Written
Review: 'Interview' was a book that honestly shocked me. The first time i read it i knew nothing of Rice's work, nor did i know a thing about the book itself; this is probably why i was so taken aback by the characters and the plot, i suppose. Louis is the main character, a suffering man whose humanity was taken by what was to become his long time counterpart, the vampire Lestat. But this book is far more then a book about vampires, trite as that sounds. Very elegant and lyrical, Rice demonstrates her uncanny knack for poetic writing in Interview. No doubt you will read the sequels which follow, for once you read this book, you too will become a shameless Rice junkie.

Summary: Great book
Review: I personally think this is one of the greatest books ever written, much less a great vampire story. This is probably my second favorite of the Vampire Chronicles so far (The Vampire Lestat & Queen Of The Damned tied in first, & Body Thief third), but I haven't read all of the books yet. I love Rice's writing, and I look forward to reading more of her books (I just started reading Memnoch The Devil).

Summary: Highly engrossing opener to the Vampire Chronicles.
Review: IWTV is a few hundred page riverboat ride through the life of Lui, a vampire 'born' in New Orleans about 200 years ago and his interaction with other vampires. It especially deals with his slow descent into hell and inhumanness while he struggles agonizingly to hold on to the last vestiges of his humanity. To get the most out of this, you should read the book and then see the movie, because they're both exceedingly wonderful creations and serve pretty well to compliment each other. The book lacks the mindreeling stylistic overtones and gothic atmosphere of the movie, while the movie lacks the depth of understanding of the characters presented in the book. Outstanding even alone.

Summary: absolutely the best of the best
Review: This book is absolutely wonderful. I can't begin to sing its praises. For those people out there who simply cannot take Louis' whining, I say that his constant belittling about immortality is what I love about him. Seriously, for those of you who thinks that he should just kill himself, you should realize that he doesn't want to kill himself. Don't warn people against Louis' character--he's the only character in Interview that has the little bit of humanity that makes you love him to death.For those of you who disagree with me... just ponder the question, How will YOU live with yourself knowing that you will have to kill someone for every day of your life? I won't blame those who don't believe me. However, Louis is my favorite character of all time. Also... read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card!

Summary: A great book
Review: I had no idea that one book could open my eyes to a whole new world. It, along with the movie, were great.But granted very different from each other. Interveiw , athough not my favourite Chronicle, holds a very special place with me because of all the doors it has opened. Firstly of course it introduced me to the character of Lestat,to the writings of the wonderful Miss Rice and to the entire culture that the Chronicles possess. Interveiw ,I hope, will become a classic in later years because it really is a book of high quality. Its sad to see Anne in the slump shes in now, but Im hoping it wont last much longer.We must remember that this woman gave us Lestat and Armand and Marius and all the other wonders in her books. For that I guess its up to us to stay loyal. Please read my other reveiws on the Chronicles and other books by clicking my name on the reveiw.

Summary: More realistic than Dracula
Review: Does living forever sound like a wonderful thing? Sertainly it does, but if one thinks about it, they would know that it couldn't be. Anne Rice captures more ralistic ideas in this book than one would think poosible for a vampire book, which are all usually thought to be a bit B rated. But Rice pulls this thrilling story off wonderfully!

Summary: I give it 3 stars, however................................
Review: Interview with the Vampire is ok. It is a little too much involved with this love affair between Claudia and Louie. It still makes for a fascinating read. The real reason you want to read this book, however, is because of all the books after this. After you read this book, they just get better and better. The next book, The Vampire Lestat is excellent, as Lestat is the coolest character. After that, The Tale of the Body Thief is even more interesting and I found that it occupied much of my time until it was done. The Queen of the Damned is by far, however, the best book in the entire series. I couldn't put this one down until I was done. Memnoch the Devil is equally spellbounding, but I still prefer Queen of the Damned. That is as far as I have gotten in the series so please give it a try.

Summary: A Classic Bore
Review: I had heard much praise for this novel, so I expected it to be a great, intriguing read. This novel turned out to be one of the worst pieces of literature I have ever read. It was slow, unappealing, and could have been wrtitten far more laconically. This is the first book that I had to force myself to read, just so I could get through it. Although there were some vibrant parts, overall it was extremely bland.

Review: For some this book may seem inappropiate for a 14 year old girl, but I found the book intriging..It captures you in a story of love, horror, and tradgity...I couldn't put it down...I read when ever I had a chance I took every oppertunity I had. This book is amazing! It is the best book I have ever read..I am starting on the 2nd of the cronicles now..If you read Interview with the Vampire, you can't stop with just that one book...And if you still don't beleive me on how tradgicly beautiful this book is, then read it for yourself (there are a few typos in this review, please disregard them)
