Rating: Summary: Modern gothic literature at its finest! Review: This was the vampire book which launched Anne Rice's status as a great contemporary author. The imagery is rich and the characters are fascinating. The style is also original and refreshing; told through the words of Louis, a vampire tormented by what he became as a young man. If you enjoy this book you'll probably want to follow-up with the rest of the series.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read!! Review: I finished this book within 3 days!! I've read many books, but never one as descriptive and intruiging as this one!! I cried along with the characters, and could actually feel as if i was there with Luis and Lestat. I'm buying the rest of the series ASAP!! By the way, I'm a young teenager, and for me to finish a book in such short time is quite an accomplishment for the author!!
Rating: Summary: This is one of the greatest books I have ever read. Review: Interview with the vampire is a wonderful book. It made me feel what Louis the vampire was feeling. It is a well written book I would suggest that you read it. It will suck you right in and before you know it you will be done with the book and wanting to read the next book in the chronicles.
Rating: Summary: It looks at the vampire in a new light Review: This novel, was brilliant in the fact that Anne could take vampires, and make their pain and suffering seem appealing. After reading her cronicles, I highly doubt most people would resist the chance of vampiric immortality.
Rating: Summary: Once Upon A Time... A Beautiful Gothic Tale Review: I've always thought reading was an interminable drudgery...until I picked up this book. Interview with the Vampire is a beatiful gothic tale. Rice pull you into this imagionary realm, leaving reality and everything behind. The story and the characters are so realitic that you can actually sense the atmosphere of where the story take place and feel the same intensity as the characters. This book is erotic, sensual, and the perfect object to indulge in. As you travel through time and space with Louis, you start to fall in love with their magical kingdom of New Orlean and Paris. The way Rice narrated the whole scenary gives you this elegant sense of atmosphere. As you read on, you will also discover your love for the characters. You can feel the love and hate that exists between them and seem to become the vampires yourself. This book is a giant step to an amazing journey. I should say it has changed my life. It's not some phony vampire book, it's something real and beautiful that you'd never want to let go. P.S.Rice is a lot better than Steven King.
Rating: Summary: BEYOND DESCRIPTION Review: Anne Rice is at her best in this novel. The sensory images she uses are beautiful, and the images jump off of the pages. Though, at times it is a little wordy, but soon you fall in love with the beautiful Louis, and the demonic Lestat, and the young Claudia. After reading this novel, you will want to visit all the places in New Orleans. The whole novel is beyond description. For those people who do not beleive in Vampires, you will after reading this book. No words can really describe this classic. If you want chills, thrills, and excitement, read EVERY book in the Chronicals. But, I think You wil agree, Interview is the best. Anne Rice, I hope you add more books to the series after Armad.
Rating: Summary: The Power of a Little Girl Review: To me, the most significant character in this book is not Louis but Claudia. She represents (to me) innocent beings snatched into a violent environment and forced to make the best of the situation. She really is the child of Lestat: rather than having his eyes or his hair, she has his ambition and a few of his emotions. I've read many books and watched many movies in the past eighteen years of my life, but the only character that comes close to Claudia is Lolita (from Vladimir Nabokov's book). I've heard that Belinda is almost a mirror image of Lolita so I must read that book some day soon. This book is the first of Anne Rice's collection to captivate me, and it was definitely the first moment I really thought about who I am. Thank you, Anne, and I love you for this.
Rating: Summary: Awesome film, Noteable Book! Review: The movie made from this book, was outstanding!!! When I came to read the book, I was amazed at the changes that were made for the screenplay. The book was memorable but the narrative was too long, and there wasn't enough dialouge in the story, even though he is always talking.Overall it's was excellent, and a great read!!! If you haven't seen the movie get it and watch it and love it!!!
Rating: Summary: Goes on and on and on........ Review: I can only think of one word to describe this book : WORDY. I kinda liked the story; the suffering of Louis, Lestat's evilness, but the way the story just drags on in places totally ruined it all. If you are really thinking of reading this book i suggest you dont tire yourself and just watch the movie instead .
Rating: Summary: Very Interesting Review: This book was very well written. I really enjoyed it and wished that I would have read it before I saw the movie. I did not like The Vampire Lestat compared to this book at all. I wish it would have been more like this book.
