Summary: awesome book but not for everyone
Review: From reading the other reviews I learned one thing and that is you either hate anne rice books or you love them.Do I think the people who gave this book bad reviews are idiots?No,I just think they read it from a different point of view.I love all different types of fiction and read this with an open mind.After reading it I believe it to be a modern day classic.Sometimes the lengthy dialogue can get a tad boring and becomes a chore to read and it could go with out some of the homoerotic scenes which I think take a bit away from the book but once you get into the book you feel as you are right there witnessing Louis's tale.This book can be easily loved or hated but it all depends on the readers interpretation of it

Summary: Immortality Inside
Review: Haven't we all dreamed, this way or the other, about life without an end. Thought we might live forever, we might see things in a different view? Rice searches the answer through ages, through immortals... the answers are in a different form that immortality is supposed to have

Summary: As a poet,there's little I can say about how long death last
Review: My words in review of this book are simply an excerpt from a poem I've witten in dedication to the book and it's author........................................... "All its characters, settings, dynamics, conflicts and plots. All its time frames, time zones, erasable time zones and ceturies; are one within one ego trip. Never leaving this place housed in flesh". -An excerpt from the currently unpublished poem DREAMBOAT ANNE by C. C. Arshagra

Summary: A brazilian point of view
Review: I read a translating version of the book, I don't have a total perception of the criatures of the novel. But, even reading in that conditions, I LOVED, I liked very much all the criatures, especially Louis, my beautiful and melancolic vampire

Summary: Open the book and get sucked in!
Review: This was the first book that I have picked up since College to read for pleasure. Thanks to the writing style of Anne Rice, I am now a book hog. I read all the time. It was such a pleasure to read about relationships of Louis and Claudia, Louis and Lestat, and let's not forget the love and hate of Lestat and Claudia. This book brings to mind the era of true southern hospitality. When times were simple and things could be explained away without question. To bring the vampires to modern day and see the changes we have always taken for granted. This is truely one of the best novels I have ever read. Thanks Anne

Summary: Trash! Stick to King and Matheson.
Review: This is one of the worst pieces of trash I've ever read. Boring, dry, dull, slow, corny, awkward, badly-written, ridiculous, and to top it all off, a let-down. Anne Rice is a worthless hack, her novels should be banned. This is not a horror novel, it glorifies vampires and makes them anti-heroes, and not a word of it inspires fear. I find it hard to believe that Anne Rice has ever read a full-length horror novel in her life. "Salem's Lot", "I Am Legend","Varney the Vampire"=HORROR. "Interview With the Vampire"=a sad, muddled attempt to create something original. Avoid it like the black plague. HP Lovecraft should be Re-Animated so he can yell at her

Summary: Interview with the Vampire: a modern day classic
Review: I first heard about this novel when the movie was being made, and since I will read almost anything, I went out and got the book from the library. Once I opened it, I could not put it down. Ms. Rice has the wonderful talent for transporting you into the very body of her characters. She enchants and seduces her readers with every passage into her mysterious world of the undead. She makes you want to laugh, cry and rage along with Louis, Lestat, and Claudia. This is the type of storytelling power that every aspiring writer should take note of. Also, the fact that she wrote it when in the midst of grieving for her daughter, makes it all the more real to a person, even if we are not a vampire. If you decide to read her other works, you will find that she grows in talent and power with each one. Believe me, you will never be bored or dissapointed with Ann Rice

Summary: Mesmorizing, a great book!!!!!
Review: Anne Rice captivated me from the first sentence of the book.The story is good enough but the way that Rice articulates herself isso poetic it made me want to finish the book in one night. It made me want to know these characters in real life. It made the world of vampires come alive. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: The Book That Starts It All
Review: This excellent book is the begining of an excellentseries. Before you read you must give up all thoughts on what youthink a vampire is. Rice presents a different, refreshing look at vampires. The book starts a little slow but as you read you are caught in its pages until you finish. The thought of a vampire telling his story and then it being published was great. It was great to see the vampire as the hero instead of the villian. Rice wrote an excellent story that leads to an excellent series staring Lestat and friends that is full of mystery and action until the very end. It is a must read book.
