Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a good book. The book starts off kind of slow, the quiete life then all of the sudden, bam! Louis's life is transformed. The book seems to pick up and drop speed at various times, but the last one hundred pages in the book are excellent! the characters change, and It leaves me hungry for more! it is not the best book I have ever read, but it is pretty high up there. Oh and I am rating this book by itself, I am not some vampire goth waiting down the street, I read all kinds of stuff. Please email me your comments

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think to be a vampire must be exciting

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For those of us who love to look around corners in fear!
Review: Louis adventures into the 20th century amazed me. I've always hungered for vampire books, and this one is the best! This book will satisfy almost anyone with an imagination and a love for being scared ( or at least looking behind corners when you take out the trash. )Louis and Lestat will make almost all women swoon and men to wish for such...shall we say "pull"? If only...but that would mean...oh well, who cares?

This book is the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: This book got me hooked on Anne Rice books. It was written great, the characters were great, and everything was perfect. Anne Rice is a really talented author. If you haven't read this book, you need to. The movie was great, but the book is even better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!
Review: This book is not only interesting and packed with personality it is well written and makes you fall in love from page one. I liked this book so much I HAD to go out and get the next one in the series and all there after. The dark tale was pure magic from begining to end and packd full of cliff-hanging questions and insight into a dark world otherwise left untouched. Ann rice is a master wirter and will be remembered forever for her awsome writing ability! Get it and read it and fall in love with it NOW!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice imagery, but not very stirring.
Review: Upon skimming through this book, I am reminded of a friend's favourite saying: "The people of the night are not just the people of the day dressed up in black and hanging around in graveyards because they think it makes them cool." The story was written beautifully and I enjoyed the imagery immensely. But the content was insipid, the events of the plot repetitive, and the attempts at describing sheer misery laughable. A deeper understanding of depression would have helped Anne Rice to write a truly stirring book. But as it was, she neither created a convincing sense of oppressive sorrow nor maintained the hint of it she managed to achieve. The complaints about the pointlessness of vampiric existence seemed petty, especially in places where more thought-provoking comments could easily have been made.

This is not great literature. The lyrics of any Diary of Dreams song could create a more gothic mood. If you like books of the genre that Interview with the Vampire pretends to be, then by all means pick up Dracula. Better yet, read Shelley's Frankenstein or something by the Bronte sisters. Interview with the Vampire is written more skillfully than most thrillers and will keep you awake if you ever find yourself on night watch. But it is a pale shadow of the Gothic Novel, a few sticks in the mud masquerading as a great cathedral.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mediocre, but influential
Review: Despite the overly dense descriptions and some irritating lead characters, this book is worth reading just to see how much it has influenced vampire stories and movies since it was written.

Of Rice's Vampire Chronicles, this is the only decent book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hooked...
Review: Ann Rice has me hooked. Her characters are so realistic and horrible. I loved every page!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is a really wonderful book! One of the best!
Review: I read IWTV and It blew me away how Rice could explain a life so dramatically and fully. It was really one of the best books I have ever read. I am only 15 and alot of those kinds of books don't catch my attention but this one did. I had to go and buy the others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wanted to read it again as soon as I finished it
Review: This was definitely the best book I've ever read so far. It is captivating, beautiful, addictive; it's not as much like my favorite movie of the same title as I thought it would be, but it goes into much more detail and explains things that you can't get from just watching the movie. A very good/surprise/cliffhanger ending too. The second I finished it I wanted to read it all over again. Anne Rice's imagery is perfectly captivating, pulling you more than willingly into the world she creates, a world you'll never want to leave as soon as you pick up this book and turn the first page.
