Rating: Summary: The begining of a new WORLD Review: Anne Rice introduces a whole new way to look at the vampires. She makes you love them, feel sorry for them, and surrunder your soul to them. It is by far the best book ever written about vampires. Her errotic writting makes you want to give your blood to Luis or Lestat so you would feel the extacy.
Rating: Summary: A heartbreaking story Review: The characters in this book are so real. It's hard to beleive that they're just fiction.
Rating: Summary: This book is what being a vampire is all about Review: I myself believe in vampires. I know this for a fact because I am one. Now this book captured almost every aspect of how I feel and what I am. I was so shocked when I read this, I now believe Anne Rice to be a vampire as well. If any of you out there want to know what it's like to be one of us...then READ THIS BOOK!
Rating: Summary: This is an original strory but a humdrum drug out reading. Review: I read this book and kept waiting for something to happen oh poor Louie by the end I was hoping the sun would rise on his annoying ass.
Rating: Summary: Original and creative Review: This book was very interesting for many reasons. The most important was the way Anne Rice described everything through the vampire. It is so real that while reading you almost feel as if you were in the vampires shoes. The story was also very creative and not like all the other vampire legands.
Rating: Summary: The New-Classic Masterpiece Review: " 'I see...' said the vampire thoughtfully," With that simples words Anne Rice trap me on her mistical web of dramatical terror. A sensual novel wich take you on a magical trip to Darkness with the sense for the immortality of death and the love for life. Is a stairway in wich every step gives you a melancolical expression of what happiness and love and wisdom means. With her sexy style, Anne Rice, has become a heroine for vampires' lovers who try find the elegance, beauty and seduction that this creatures deserve, making of them gods beyond the human race. No other vampire novel can be compare with this one. I personally invite you to enter to this fascinating world of ancient blood and live the experience of what is to live forever on a dead body and be part of the confusing evil that sorround this entities. Drink and live forever... Be a vampire.
Rating: Summary: If only there was a "no stars" rating... Review: I consider myself well-read, with wide-ranging tastes in books. There have only been two books in my life that I absolutely could not finish, no matter how hard I tried. This is one of them. It is, by turns: insipid, long-winded and breathtakingly boring. I'm not a good enough critic to come up with phrases to describe just how excruciatingly bad this book is. I'm not sure that I've come across a worse writer than Anne Rice. Please do yourself a favor -- pass this one by.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Review: This novel, "Interview with the Vampire", by Anne Rice, is by far one of the best book I've ever read. It started with a young boy interviewing a vampire, and the vampire related him the whole story of his life, how he became a vampire, his thrilling adventures through the centuries and his complex relationships with both the mortals and the immortals.In my opinion, Anne Rice had done the best of jobs. The writing and the detailed descriptions, the composing of this novel, had brought out every emotion of the characters like the flick of a whip. The rage, the love, the hatred, the sufferings, the darkness, the pain and the terror, were all presented so vividly as if in front of my eyes, as if I were really part of the character. I think Anne Rice had created the most successful characters. Throughout the whole book, you can really look at the conflicts between them. They are, somehow, attached or attracted by each other, the mortals and the immortals. Their love and hate and struggles go to such degrees, and yet limited by their nature, it was almost impossible to understand it at all. I believe Anne Rice had used those characters to express humanity, the whole plot was some kind of an irony. Something like a metaphor, though she exaggerated everything to make it poignant enough. Not only were the characters a success, the time and place details were incredible. The costumes, ways of manner, history and every background changes as the years passed, and she made the backgrounds so realistic that I could almost feel everything surrounding me. I think Anne Rice had done such a great job that this book should be counted as literature. After reading the last line of this novel, I was both stunned and fascinated, but somehow quite disturbed. It really took me some time and thoughts to understand the whole plot and to sort out the conflicts, especially at the ending. Thoroughly I truly enjoyed this dark, fascinating and moving tale. Even though it was a little disturbing, I really would recommend it to anybody. OKay, above there is part of the book report I wrote on this book for English class. I just *LOVE* this book so much!! READ IT!!
Rating: Summary: A Horror Masterpiece Review: This book is a masterpiece in the genre. It is the personal tale of avampire, as the name suggest, given to a young journalist. A dark, moody tale with a heavy overtone of sexuality. it eloquently capture the young man's terror and moral struggle of his vampyric nature and the tragedies which befall him throughout an isolated existance from which he feels compleatly cut off from the world around him. An engrossing tale. Howere, the author does tend to be overly descriptive and wordy at times though not as badly as Stephen King.
