Summary: An Interview to Remember...
Review: Magnificent! This story takes you aflight on wings of incredible imagination so like a god or goddess you can cast your eyes upon an enchanted world of vampires...The tale memorizes, and its characters speak to the most intimate heart. This is a glimpse into the existence of a vampire named Louis, of his search for unattainable salvation in an eternality of damnation. His endless night is the soul of this book, and such a journey engulfs yet two other vampires in its curse, the vampire Claudia doomed in the body of a child and the vampire Lestat shackled in chains of unbreakable loneliness. Together they roam the world in a haze of sorrow, and each time the vampires take life for sustainment, it is not blood that fills them, but the hellish acknowledgement that they are forever children of the darkness. The gauntlet of each vampire to obtain what cannot be obtained gives them the quality of being human, and in their struggle for resurrection they themselves are unknowingly made beautiful...
I highly recommend this book for readers who love to suck all the marrow out of a story's life, because Interview with the Vampire will stir both the romantic and the philosopher in each of us and open our long-shut eyes...

Summary: A masterpiece!
Review: This type of fare is usually not quite my cup of tea. And yet, when I began reading it, I just couldn't put it down. It is honestly, quite different from anything I had expected, with engaging, complex characters and lush description. I would recommend this particularly to those who enjoy fantasy, rather than those who like straight, undiluted horror. [website]

Summary: BEST BOOK EVA
Review: This was the work of a genius. Anne Rice was near the tope of her game with this (non-fiction) work. (I like to think that vampires exsist, so leave me alone.) Rice's in depth with character and the mystery of it all will of course lead to Louis appearence again. Of course I am speaking (or rather typing) of Rice's other novel Merrick, which lets Louis do some things I will not type here. Just remember to READ THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES IN ORDER! It hurts if you don't. Overall, this book was fantastic, and I can't wait till Louis writes again!

Summary: The First One
Review: This is the first of the vampire chronicles that started it all. I found Louis, a dark, brooding and reluctant vampire. Always giving excuses and remorseful, but he continued killing nevertheless. Lestat through Louis' eyes was a sychophant who depended on Louis for wealth management and later companionship. A weakling and inferior character to Louis. This is a good introduction to Vampire Chronicles. However, it was so much out of jive with the subsequent titles of the chronicles. Looks to me that Anne didn't plan the Interview to have a sequel. When she did have a sequel, she played down the inconsistencies as lies coming from Louis. Refreshing on its own.

Summary: Andy's Review
Review: Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice for me was a great book. I always wanted to read carefully to learn more and more about a vampire's life; how it became something like the living dead, surviving off animals and people, living an eternal life when never ageing or changing while the whole world around you changes, and having different kinds of powers than other vampires like moving at the blink of an eye. It was maily about the day in the immortal life of a vampire suffering. This book is simply genius and thats why i give it a perfect 5 stars.

Summary: the only chronicle you really need
Review: This is where it all started; everything after is an action/adventure/thriller variation of the same idea. Lestat is firmly established here(but better explained in The Vampire Lestat.) This is Louis' account, so you'll find everything you need to know about the most human and sympathetic vampire in history. Claudia makes this book the most interesting out of the rest of the Chronicles; she's a procelin doll of a vampire; she a powerful woman trapped in a doll's body. This is where you should start. If you want to understand why Lestat is Lestat get TVL.

Summary: An immortal classic
Review: Now while I can't say that this is my favorite book in the whole vampire chronicles series, I will have to give credit where its due. This book definitely is the mother of all fictional vampire books. I have reqd quite a few and none of them were as good as Anne Rice's popular vampire chronicles series. I also confess that the first book I read in the series was "Queen of the Damned". I loved the title of the book. What sets apart Anne's books from other fictional vampire books is the amount of effort she puts in (like researching about the legend of Osiris and Isis for "Queen of the Damned"). Plus her style of writing isn't dumbed down like a lot of books that I have read. The other vampire books that I have read should have been written in comic book format, not in a novel format. They were horribly cheesy IMO. Although not my favorite book in the series, "Interview With the Vampire" is still a classic. I will agree to a certain extent with a reviewer that Louis is a bit of a whiner but the same can be said about Lestat. The film version of the book was exceptional. The cinematography was just excellent but it had its flaws like the miscasting of Armand and that the events in the beginning and end of the book did not happen. At least the film version of "Interview With the Vampire" is more entertaining and stays true to form than that wretched "Queen of the Damned" (a horrid idea to combine the 2nd and 3rd books in the series into one novel). Back to the book, I loved Anne's tribute to her dearly departed daughter and writing her as the child vampire Claudia. What a fitting yet haunting tribute. As I have said before, "Interview With the Vampire" may not be my very favorite book in the vampire chronicles series but had it not existed there would not be Lestat, Armand, Louis, Marius, and the other familiar vampire characters. "Interview With the Vampire" will go down in vampire lore as one of the most beloved books ever written, alongside Bram Stoker's "Dracula".

Summary: a very interesting view of the fasnating world of vampries
Review: while I have not read this book by hand (yet) I got the audio tape of it from my local librarey. and found the story intreuging and quite modern yet not as modern as our own time period. I have always been fasnated by the myths and stories of vampiers. and found that this book hit very firmly on the life of the importal un-dead. the story is a very good one and althoug it does take a bit of pactience eventully you find your self wanting to know more about the charcter Lue and his teacher Lastat and other charcters that fall into place with this time less classic. I enjoyed this story very much and look forward to reading The Vampire Lastat the next book in the vampire chorincles. this book is a good classic vampire story to read if you are like me and can't get enough of vampire stories but. if you look for somthing with the modern world view and vampires that exisit in it. I would diffently say that would have to be
The Vampire Lastat but I would highly recommend not skiping the lines and read this book before you leap to the second book. and as you should with all the books in the vampire chroncles seeing is how this book ties into most of the books that come into place afterward. but diffently a good read do pick it up highly recommend to those with a taste for gothic leterture.

Summary: What's eating you?
Review: Interview with the Vampire was a fun book it had me on edge wondering what was going to happen next. I was very foucused on Louis because even though he was supposed to be evil and had evil ability and power he chose not to use it like Lastat. Lastat scared me because he was capable of anything and he acted as if he cared of nothing. Claudia was a very powerful little girl and I never really trusted her because she reminded me alot of Lastat. The plot was was kind of confusing but at the end i understood what was missing and every thing come together in the end. The characters all had their own image they were non the same. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction and want a little suspence.
