Summary: WOW! AMAZING! WONDERFUL! FANTASTIC!
Review: I cannot praise this book enough! I love this book! This was the first Anne Rice book I read and it instantly made me a fan. I have read her other novels but TVL will always be my favorite. I also love the character of Lestat. Lestat will always be my favorite character. He's so human and so supernatural at the same time. I absolutely could not stop reading this book! This book takes you to another dimension. If I had a choice, I would rate this an infinite number of stars. It's that amazing! Please read this book!

Summary: Stop with Interview with the Vampire
Review: While this second book in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles has a promising start, it soon falls apart and becomes a monotonous mess.Stop reading the Vampire Chronicles after you have read Interview with the Vampire.

Summary: Wonderfully detailed
Review: I am 15 and I read The Vampire Lestat about a year ago and I thought it was great. Anne Rice has a way of pulling her readers into the story giving you the feeling like you have lived it along with her characters. I got hooked on her books when I saw the movie Interview With A Vampire, which I have seen at least ten times, and I read the book and becomae immediatly hooked! I have read all of her vampire chronicles now and am now reading the new tales.

Summary: Everyone should read these books!!
Review: I am 14 and this book was the best book I have ever read. I came to read the vampire chronicles when I watched the film. I decided to read the book and I loved it, so I decided I would read all the vampire chronicles. I am currently half way through reading the fifth chronicle, Memnock the Devil which I am thoroughly enjoying.

Summary: 5 stars is not even enough
Review: I loved this book. It was so good. Lestat is my favorit character and this book really told everything about him that interview left out, and not only didnt this book talk aobut lestat it also told a little history about Armand and Marius and things like that. I really enjoyed this book and I hope more peopel would write books as good as Anne Rice's.

Summary: The Vampire Bible
Review: This book, to say the least, is the best work of fiction I have ever read. I'm not the most avid reader in the world, but Anne Rice's imagination is absolutely brilliant. So brilliant, she makes you want to be a vampire. A friend of mine actually introduced me to the Vampire Chronicles through the movie, "Interview with a Vampire". After the movie I jumped right into this book, immediately followed by the rest of the Chronicles. They're all very good, but none meet the standard set by "The Vampire Lestat". This book is truly a bible or chronicled history of vampires straight from the mind of Anne Rice. A totally awesome, gripping, mesmerizing page turner.

Summary: Great plot,although it could have been better......
Review: After reading Rice's THE WITCHING HOUR, I have become one of her many fans. Honestly speaking, THE VAMPIRE LESTAT is a lot more interesting than her first novel. I really like the plot twists and the suspense parts. Rice usually gets carried away with her imageries, so for those who hate long, narrative imageries, then this is not the book for you. The author tends to describe every detail possible to help her readers understand the situation, however, sometimes she overdoes it. Overall, TVL is an interesting, work of art.

Summary: TOO MUCH LUSH EXTRAVAGANCE
Review: What is it with horror writers they gotta describe every object, every emotion, every physical movement down to it's grainiest detail? Dramatizing each step or raised eyebrow to the point where I had to look at myself in the mirror. How can I make my face become thoughtful and smooth and childlike all at once? Can I exude an evil and yet sensuous aura if I do this with my lips and then hold out my hand as if recieving a diamond pineapple? Is Rice trying to frighten me or drive me nuts alltogether? I don't know...I find it all very silly. As for the story itself it does bear a certain romantic gravity. And she does draw some fantastic images and pose some interesting philosophy. At times it is entertaining but the grandiloquence overwhelms. Somehow I made it through the whole thing...whatever that tells you.
