Summary: A fantastic, crazy and great journey.
Review: Lestat is crzy but always willing to try everthing. What admirable is he loves living. He needs love and he never concealed that. He is a warrior. Challenging things others don't have courage to do. It seems that iust following him, we will got surprising forever.

Summary: Lestat's book; It catches his character completely
Review: After reading Interveiw with the Vampire I was thrilled to learn that there were about 5 sequels to it. The Vampire Lestat is totally believable and is written with Lestat's humor and not Louis's depression. (don't get me wrong, I loved Interveiw with the Vampire, but you have to admit, it was rather depressing!) There is no part that drags and it is action all the way through. The ending is a cliffhanger and you don't want to read it without Queen of the Damned on hand. (It's torture to wait for the library to order it specially!) Even if you aren't into vampires and 'goth' stuff, you really ought to read this book. I have read every book in the series and I can tell you it is one of the best books I've read- and I read a LOT so that really means something. PS- Armand is my favorite and I can't wait for the new book on him!

Summary: This is the best book I have ever read.
Review: I first saw the movie Interview with the Vampire and I loved it so I went in search of the book well I read it and loved it. But then I read The vampire Lestat. I did not like Lestat to much when I Interview with the vampire. But when I read the Vampire Lestat I fell in love with him. He gives you a whole new veiw of him. You grow to care for him. The book takes you through his life from when he was mortal to when he becomes a immortal and through some of his adventures. You began to understand why he is the way that he is. Now I can not wait to read the Queen Of The Damned. I would say that Anne Rice is the QUEEN of fiction

Summary: You gotta read it!
Review: The Vampire Lestat is the best book I have ever read, and I have read a lot of books. It is so enthralling that putting it down is impossible! When I was reading it, I was completely seeing through the eyes of Lestat, feeling the pain and happiness, almost tasting the blood of mortals. I could perfectly picture being onstage, having all those eyes on me. It was almost as if I was there.....While I was taking a break, I found myself assuming the attitude of whatever character I was thinking of. When it was over, I was thrilled to find out that there was another book.....Queen of The Damned. You should read The Vampire Lestat, if you don't you are missing a lot.

Summary: To Read in one day !
Review: When I saw the movie, "Interview with the vampire", I expected an idiot history, like Bran Stocker's Dracula. When it finishes, I was astonished. I never saw a film that I loved so much like this. So I discovered Lestat and The Vampire's Chronicles. I looked for the books of it. And I bought "The Vampire Lestat". What I think of ? Well, I finished the book almost in one day... I could say that the book is simply the best that I ever read; that it's fabulous; unsociable; I could fill pages and pages about it, about all the incomparable saga that Anne Rice created, different of all that I saw. But is unseless. It's necessary to read the book to understand the magic that it means. I bought the other books. But it'll be hard Anne to surpass herself the deep atmosphere and intensity of "Interview with the vampire" and "The Vampire Lestat". These two books are singular and rare pleasures that we still have on life. If you don't read, do it now, and you'll understand what about I talked. In one word? amazing. (PS: don't repair in the errors... my english isn't still wonderfull; I'm learning it!)

Summary: Yea!! I actually finished it!!!!
Review: I cannot believe how many people love this book. The first paragraph was excellent! The last 20 pages were awesome!!! The rest of the book was so tedious to get through. I am actually celebrating that I survived it!!! OK, this is a little sarcastic, sorry Anne. When she does dialog between people, her writing is fantastic. When she goes into telling background situations, I've never read anything more borring. It's like writing about some guy walking over to a tree and taking five pages to describe every detail and every thought that went through his mind. Geeze, I'm really bummed. I thought I'd love this series. Interview With the Vampire was fabulous. I love Lestat. He is a great character. I just wish The Vampire Lestat, was more about Lestat. For some reason the way she wrote the other characters, I could not have cared less about them. Sorry, I have to disagree with the majority on this one.

Summary: LESTAT!!!!!!!
Review: Lestat. Lestat...Lestat! If you read Interview with the Vampire and dismissed Lestat as nothing but a cruel killer, as I did, then you HAVE to read this book. In it, Lestat tells his version of what Louis told the interviewer, and the reader discovers that Louis did not always interpret things correctly. You're bound to fall in love with the Brat Prince, in love with his optimism and selfishness and vanity and curiosity about the world. He describes himself so vividly that you can see him clearly in your mind; his luxurious long blond curls, gray-blue eyes, and slender elegant body. He describes everything else vividly as well; after reading some scenes, you find yourself longing for blood! Not only that, but you come to understand Armand better as well. Lestat also introduces you to fascinating new characters: his friend Nicholas, his mother Gabrielle, and the ancient vampires Marius, Akasha and Enkil. His style of writing is beautiful, lush, evocative, and he captures your interest right from the very beginning. He'll leave you longing for him to appear and give you the Dark Gift, ushering you into his darkly beautiful world. You'll be so fascinated by him that you won't rest until you've read his three other books, too. Anyone who likes vampires absolutely must read this wonderful book.

Summary: Captures you and holds you...
Review: The story just kept getting deeper and deeper the more you get into the book. The way Rice unraveled the ancient tales of the vampires to the reader a little at a time throughout the chronicles definately makes for a page turner. I can't wait to start Queen of the Damned!

Summary: It sucked the life out of me, and enticed me to keep reading
Review: Anne Rice has really out done herself in all her vampire novels. She brings life and beauty to blend and balance with her characters making them charming and realistic. In The Vampire Lestat we have a deep insight of our favorite fiend and how he came to become the blood-draining vampire he is. The book is marvelously detailed as all her other novels and very enchanting. It is a long book, but because I myself love vampires, and had just started to go deep into my passion for the demonic and fiendish creatures this was a complete treat for me. The book and story itself made me long to finish it and go onto another story. I read through the book as if nothing could tire me and I ended up reading from 8 am till the next morning without even getting tired. I finished the book that afternoon, and went right to the nearest bookstore to buy her other vampire novels. I also read the book again about three more times after that and have recently read it again, and decided to write this review. Anne Rice has made me long to read more, and her stories and tales fascinate me...the books are amazing and no review or movie could explain the stories the way the books do.
