Interview with the Vampire

Rating:
Summary: Talk about over-rated...
Review: It's like a Soap Opera starring Vampires. I hoped for so much more after the rave reviews I've heard. Unless you are interested in television/Hollywood style predictable drama, I would highly recommend you to spend you time on some other literature... yawn.

Summary: Interview With The Vampire
Review: I found the whole scene or ecense of the book captivating.The whole time Louis kept us in track with Claudia(my favorite character) and Lestat. Even on the Theatre of Vampires.The way Rice describes how Louis feels pain makes us feel the same pain.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. It goes far past the archetypal myth of the vampire, and deals with issues of morality and the nature of evil.

Summary: ADDICTIVE & SEDUCTIVE
Review: After refraining from watching the movie for four years, I finally broke down and rented it. And to my pleasant surprise found it to be visually beautiful and tragic. Next, I became extremely curious about the book. I rushed out at midnight to purchase it and found myself totally captivated. The book is Mesmerizing, Passionate, Sensual and Tragic - or in a word - Wonderful. The story unfolds on a profoundly different level than the film. I couldn't put it down. I even read it at work. I must admit that Rice can stray and get winded at times - but she always returns to the souls of the characters - drawing the reader deeper into their experience. Also, the homo-eroticism and child seduction are present but that doesn't take anything away from the story. Instead, it adds more layers and depth to multi-dimensional characters. I will never look at vampires the same again. Next is The Vampire Lestat. I MUST find out how he got that way.

Summary: The new classic vampire novel
Review: Hey. This is my second review for Amazon, and I've decided to review this book. Like many people, I first read this, and the other novels that make up The Vampire Chronicles, back when the movie came out. And like many movies made from books, the book is the superior of the two. Who among us, reading this book, has not thought about what it would be like to become a vampire, living forever and stalking the night? This book does a great job of balancing the power of the vampire with the inate sadness of being cursed never to see the light of day. But you don't need me to tell you this. If you're at all like me, you browse this site to read what other people thought about books, music, or movies that you love. If, however, you're reading these reviews trying to decide what to buy, I hope you'll take my advice. This is a great novel, and you won't be disappointed if you get it. And if you enjoy this one, look for the rest of the series, as they fill in some of the questions you might have after reading this. Later.

Summary: Intoxicating
Review: This was the first Anne Rice novel I had read and I was so impressed with the rich writing. Sure, lots of people think Louis was kind of whiney and self-pitying but geez, can you blame him? I loved this novel. Until my dying day I will never forget the heartbeats of Lestat and Louis as Louis becomes one of the undead. Incidently, even though Tom Cruise was impressive, I still think Sting should have played Lestat in the movie.

Summary: Interview With the Vampire
Review: I have read this book and several other of Anne Rice's, she shows the characters feelings and the depth they will go to attain their goal. Not just victims. Listat is an unusual person not just a vampire with feelings that didn't care about anything but his craving for blood. I first read the Vampire Chronicles and they were fabulous I could not put them down. I may not be an expert or a writer but I am good with books and reading and have a collection of over 10,000 books in mint condition many bought on the auction and many favorite authors. Anne Rice is a very favorite one. I am looking forward to Ms. Rice's comic's coming out so I can collect them all. I have been watching for them. I understand people who don't like a book for one reason or another but when they leave a negative feedback like the first one I saw it really isn't fair to the author or even giving her a chance because many people buy a book based solely on the synopsis. I believe it is unfair to the author and publsher.

Summary: A good prescription for an insomniac
Review: If you need a good nights sleep and are tired of counting sheep, try a few paragraphs of this book. Anne Rice's run on sentences and meaningless fluff will bore you to death if you are not careful. I think she was trying to expand what could easily be a short story into a novel. I forced myself to finish at least half the book which took me well over a week to do because I couldn't stand reading much of the book at one time. Don't waste your good money, go to the library and check it out if you are curious.

Summary: Anne Rice at her best.......
Review: This book was beautifully written from beginning to end. I cried when Claudia and Madeline got burned and felt Louise's longing. Lestat's anger and frustrations, this book had it all, and will forever be a favorite.Thank you Anne, for giving me a world to escape to.....

Summary: soul searching and breath taking
Review: If I knew for sure that vampires like Louis roamed the darknights, I'd gladly welcome the chance to be in his world. He's whatevery mortal man should be. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner.
