Vampire Lestat

Rating:
Summary: I wanted to join the charactes.
Review: I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you didn't like Interview with the Vampire. The new characters Anne Rice introduces are fascinating:Nicholas,Gabrielle,Marius. I loved the historical descriptions of Lestat's mortal life and his life as an actor in Paris. Ms. Rice has also further developed Armand from IWTV in this novel. And of course, the Louis/Lestat reunion at the end made me "weep", as Lestat would say.

Review: The Vampire Lestat was a thrilling novel that was considered to be one of the best books in the world. Reading this book has affected me with an undescribable feeling. This book kept me at the edge of my seat. Once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. The readson why I chose this book is becasue I love reading vampire stories. Anne Rice is a great author. No wonder why this book The Vampire Lestat is a #1 bestseller. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Best book in the world
Review: The Vampire Lestat is the best book in the WORLD... There is no other book that has given me the any feeling as the Vampire Lestat has. To all out there that say that the book is not good, because it is boring. Read the whole book and then think about what you read and then and only then make a judgement on the novel. Anne Rice has written other novels to go along with the Vampire Lestat and they by no means have to be read also. To all out there, LONG LIVE LESTAT!!!

Summary: good, but read the book!
Review: The reason I gave this a 6 is not for the content, but for the lack there of. The Vampire Lestat is an excellant book, in fact I would probably say that it is my favorite Anne Rice novel. However, I don't think that the tapes do the book justice. To really appreciate this novel you would have to read the whole book. The tapes lack all the beautiful details of Lestat's trip to find Marius and it skips sections that give you insight into Lestat. To fully understand the other novels you must read this whole novel. DON'T TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. Read the book, because if you don't you will be missing an extraordinary novel.

Summary: Doesn't get MEATY right away...
Review: This was difficult to get into at first. It wasn't as exciting as INTERVIEW from the beginning. Once I actually fell in love with Lestat, it was a fast and furious read! There is a new literary hero...Lestat de Lioncourt!

Summary: !
Review: Well I started reading this book and at first I was dissapointed but then it got into Lestats past and you find out he wasn't the horrible guy Loius thought. It introduces you to the 5 vampire rules (By the end of the series I think Lestat has broken all of them), and to Gabrielle, and Nicholas, and Marius, and most importantly Those Who Must Be Kept. So I strongly suggest reading this book considering it gives you a ton of answers to the questions you've been asking since the first book. -EH

Summary: The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
Review: Only Anne Rice could write a book as great and horrifyingly written as it was. It has a perfect storyline and it always makes perfect sense. The book [story] seems so real that it seems people actually live it! In my personal opinion, I would not mind being one of the characters or to have my life created in her book with the way Anne Rice places beauty and brilliance in her wonderful [almost realistic] characters inside of her book. It is too magical and perfect!

Rating:
Summary: WOW--soaked in blood and wonderfully horrific
Review: I could not put this book down. I loved the first one and would give it my highest rating, but this one was FAR better. After finishing it I could almost see blood dripping from the book. Not just that death was everywhere but all of her descriptions seemed to involve death and blood.

Summary: Best of the Vampire Chronicles
Review: Although I enjoyed Interview with the Vampire, I had to struggle through some parts; not so with The Vampire Lestat. There's never a dull moment when Lestat's around, and the lush narrative of his bizarre past and the equally amazing tales of his fellow undead make this one a page-turner. I did think the rock star stuff was a bit cheesy, but the historical passages (the bulk of the book) more than make up for it.
