Rating: Summary: A BEAUTIFUL FANTASY Review: I never had the desire to read vampire books, but at the urging of a good friend, I ended up spending a evening at home with Louis, Lestat and Claudia. What a beautiful, yet tragic tale of the undead wishing they were dead. The regret Louis delt with night in and night out could very well be felt by humans everyday. We all regret something sooner or later, but fortunately, we dont have to live with it for eternity. And Lestat was what a vampire should be, strong and without regret. But little Claudia....kind of disturbing to think of a little girl drinking blood. But thats the purpose of books like this. I must say though, it was a good evening at home with those three vampires and I do recommend this book.
Rating: Summary: A book of realistic logic Review: This book unlike other vampire books, makes sence. Just think about living forever, wouldn't it simply get boring? Wouldn't you get sick of the killing? This book doesn't tell any great, incredible, story, it's just a realistic story of a vampire and his life, his experiences, his feelings. It's nothing special. But after reading it you understand why the author made it. To tell everyone, that maybe being a vampire isn't so wonderfull and fun after all. Neither is living forever. But you have to wonder, that maybe, if there were vampires today, wouldn't it be easier to live as a vampire today.
Rating: Summary: The finest, most challenging horror fiction Review: This book is truly wonderful. The characterisation is spot on, and the dialogue entirely convincing. And in response to the reviewer who called Steven King "serious", he is an ammateur compared to the author of this book. Not just horror- genius literature
Rating: Summary: More serious literature? Review: The Amazon article entitled "kicking the horror habit" by one Patty Cambell lists this garbage as an introduction to more "serious" literature. How foolish of us to think that Edgar Allan Poe & Bram Stoker & Stephen King were not serious compared to this womans choices, who has not the vaguest about what literature is or what it does, joining the other dieticians, psychologists, and technicians who make up Amazon's "critics".Patty Campbell is the young adult columnist for Horn Book magazine and the editor of Twayne's Young Adult Author Series and Scarecrow's Studies in YA Lit.
Rating: Summary: It is okay Review: The novel was just okay. Nothing spectacular about it but then again nothing horrible about the novel either. It was very original and I gave her extra points for that, overall, give it a try, you might be dissapointed but I believe you will enter a new world of vampires, one that is fun to visit. So give it a try!!
Rating: Summary: read the book before you whatch the movie Review: This is a very good book! I recommend it to anyone who likes horror books. You definitely need to read the book before you whatch the movie.
Rating: Summary: This book rocked Review: Anne Rice is a spellbinding novelist. This book is *magnificent*! :-
Rating: Summary: Well to be honest... Review: To be honest I couldn't finish this book but I didn't think it was extraordinarily bad. I just had other books that I wanted to read and didn't think I should waste time on this one. I am an Anne Rice fan, but this is just not one of her best in my opinion. Long, drawn out scenes such as the one at Theatre de Vampires just weren't written well enough to hold my summer vacation influenced attention.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book!! Review: This book was stunning! It was written so lyrically. Anne Rice makes the life of a vampire seem incredibly interesting. Everyone should read the entire Vampire Chronicles. I've read them twice; they keep getting better! By the end of Interview you'll feel as if you know these vampires personally. Even if you're not a fan of horror this book will mesmerize you!
Rating: Summary: This book is the best book . Review: This is the best book . One of Anne Rices best work. She truly captures the nights of the vampire in this wonderful book Interview with the Vampire. I would recommend this book to any teen or Adult. Not to the little kids because of the graphic content. Lestat the cold hearted vampire. Louis the almost human vampire . And Claudia the little girl vampire that menepulates her vicktoms. They make ineterview with the vampire the most imaginative , realistic , and captivating vampire book ever. You will not be able to put this book down. I can not wait to read book 2 The Vampire Lestat if it is as good as Interview with the Vampire I will not be able to put it down. I give this book 5 great big stars.
