Summary: A Gothic-lover's dreambook!!
Review: Being a Gothic novel reader my entire life, when I accidentally stumbled on this book in a library, I checked it out, and read for 2 STRAIGHT days and nights WITHOUT stopping! When I finished it, I look at the world with new eyes. With each chapter your soul travels with Louis and Claudia,your emotions are strapped to a literary roller-coaster ride!

Summary: Immortality without a life, how bizarre.
Review: This was a great book because you could read through it at a fairly fast pace or you could slow down and absorb every detail. The movie was good but leaves out a few things that you should be aware of if you are going to read any more of the chronicles.

Summary: A great entrance to the understanding of immortality
Review: The journey of a, too human Vampire, Louis to the realms of undead.
Though there are vampires roaming in and out of this book it is not a horror book, it is a intellectual debate of immortalism. The pain of a hunter which is in its essence still a human, a hunted. I think the pain of Louis is something to witness. dont miss this book

Summary: One of those books which will stay with you....
Review: Can someone tell me when "Interview" first became popular with the masses? A number of years ago(how many years..??), I ordered "Interview" from the bargain section of a book club because 1)at that time, I was really into vampires (S King's "Salem's Lot" among others) 2)it sounded like it might be a good read, and 3)it was really cheap! From that humble beginning, I have become a true Ann Rice fan, reading all her books - at least those written under AR. My sister also shared my enthusiasm for "Interview" but we had no idea at the time we had stumbled onto a book which would eventually be read and loved by so many...or that it was to become the first of a series. When did it all take off? We still have the copy ordered so long ago, along with copies of all those which have followed. However, "Interview" will always hold a special place, not only because it truly was/is a good read, but also because we happened upon it...what a pleasant surprise! If there are any AR history buffs out there who can shed light on how long between first edition and public frenzy, please e-mail me. thanks

Summary: Anne Rice's Best Book
Review: I read this book a couple of months ago and it became my favorite. This book is not for everyone, especially if you're looking for a typical "horror" novel. I admit, I was bored when I first strated reading it, but then I really got into it. I have read all the Vampire chronicles and this is the absolute best. Louis is the most realistic character because of his human emotions and feelings. It seems like he is the only vampire who thought it was morally wrong to kill, at least for the first four years. All of the vampires in the rest of the Vampire Chronicles killed right away without a trace of guilt. This novel made me fall in love with Louis, it made me cry, it's amazing. It's sad that Anne Rice chose to focus only on Lestat (aka The Brat Prince) in her other vampire novels. True, this book can be depressing at times, it's not a "Chicken Soup for the Vampire's Soul." If you want a novel that truly develops the characters and makes you think, read this.

Summary: The Vampire Chronicles are the best
Review: Anne Rice has created a characters that everyone has come to know and love. The Body Thief was funny and Lestat was great! If you read Interview with a Vampire and did not like it because of the poetry read The body Thief and you will be hooked.

Review: I LOVE this book!I just turned 11today.I at once fell in love with all the characters.
Lestat,I thought,was not evil,just did not know what to do with no knowlage of himself at all.Claudia,I did not understand why she did not think like Louis. Louis,very human.He took every single sec.in life and tried to make it count.I feltperhaps even more then him at times.Like the horror when he found out Lestat was alive.You MUSt read this book!When Louis learned to show,or rather got rid of all his emotions,I was screaming"No!!!!"I did the same when the boy giving the interveiw wanted to be a vampire.I actully cried when Louis lost all humanity...Whitney,an 11 year old today
Rating:
Summary: A beautiful, thought provoking piece of literary genius!
Review: Upon my fifth reading of this book, I still find it to be one of the most brilliant works ever written. Some readers may be put off by Rice's style, but if you love a deep, philosophical, fast paced book, this is definantly for you. If you're looking for shallow, instant gratification, stick with Harlequins...

Summary: WHAT CAN I SAY BUT KICK ASS.
Review: LOUIS AND HIS INTERVIEW GAVE ME THE MOST HUMANE PERSPECTIVE OF VAMPIRES EVER. In this book I got DAMN DRUNK on Whoop Ass. I may be 13 years old but I know a good book when I see one and this is just All That AND a Super Size Bag of Doritos and Fritos plus Tostitos Salsa. In other words it is THE BEST. What else can i say but kick ass!

Summary: MOVE OVER BRAM STOKER!
Review: What a great book! I related to Louis more than Lestat - probably because he showed the "humanity" of being a vampire. People have called him a whiner, but I think not. He was simply too human. He loved as a man, mourned as a man, and (later in the series) eventually became a vampire! Lestat is at his most heartless and cruel, and is frequently childish and impulsive. Deliciously terrifying.
