Summary: Best Vampire Novel I've Ever Read
Review: This has to be the best vampire novel I have ever read (as well as the only, but I am starting The Vampire Lestat soon). The technical and emotional details of becoming a vampire and the death of the body were wonderful!

Summary: In a stew with the vampires?
Review: Obnoxiously overrated, king of an empire that's grown ever more insufferable and unreadable as time limps by, Anne Rice's Magnum Opus is more like a Magnum Oafus. Tinsel-pretty, vapid descriptions abound in a story that has no real point, no genuine understandings of life or death, and not even much redeeming humor or irony. People who rave about how "dark" this book is should read Peter Sotos's "TOTAL ABUSE" (not available through Amazon.com, predictably); if they can still speak, then we'll talk about "dark". In the meantime, this book'll serve as a good example of just how easily led people can be.

Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: Once I started reading this book, I could hardly put it down. I became transfixed with the amazing story of Louis, Lestat, and the vampire-child Claudia. When I finished the book, I was in awe. Such a romantically sad story.... It completely amazes me (for I cannot think of a better word) that Rice can write a story, that ANYONE can write a story, that actually has an emotional affect on the reader. You would not think a story of a vampire would feel so...reaslistic. All in all, this book was so well-written that I have a new favorite author: Anne Rice.

Summary: Impossible to ignore, fabulous!
Review: Great history, interesting from the beginning to the end. The characters are mysterious and sensual. Wonderful!

Summary: A really cool book for followers of vampires
Review: I have read this book around four times in the past year. That's good for a high school student. I love to read about vampires, wether true or not. This story is about a love for life,an almost hate for a leader, and has a weird feeling about it when you read it. I love it , and it only gets better the second time around. Or the third of fourth.

Summary: I want some more
Review: This book is the first of a masterfull series. Rice shows true promise into the development of further titles. As a reader of the rest of the series, I am perhaps at an advantage to say that the book is one of the best reads this century, and that yes, there is more of it out there. She leaves her readers demanding more and more of the same quality which is given plentifully in the rest of the books. This is not to be missed by any vampire fanatic or just a curious reader of the sensuous, the poetic and reality found in so little other authors!

Summary: DAMN!!!!
Review: This book was pure artwork. One of the few vampire storylines I've been able to find in a long time. Beautifully written. The whole reason I got into Anne Rice's novels. Much better than the movie. Beautiful.

Rating:
Summary: Dissapointing, Really
Review: I did not come very far with this book, and though I rarely do this, I gave up reading it. PERHAPS it gets better later, but the first third is rather slow and boring. This seems one of the rare cases were the film is better than the book.

Summary: Sexy, violent and romantic! I couldn't put it down.
Review: Always in search of a good read, I picked up this book for a second time. While there is nothing like the magic of reading this book for the first time, it still held me spellbound.
Revisiting lovely, emotional Louis (stuck in his own eternal hell), beautiful, selfish Lestat and tragic Claudia was like coming home.
The struggle with their brutal existance and their need to survive is just as enthralling as the first time! I could taste the spice in the air of the French Quarter as well as the blood of their victims!
Thank you Anne Rice!!!
