Summary: A major let down
Review: I loved Interview With the Vampire and I really liked Lestats character a lot so I was surprised by how Anne Rice potrays him in this book.He goes from being a complex evil character to a whiney, childesh idiot! Am I the only one that winces when he is called the "brat prince?" She made him cute, cuddley and mischievius in a little boy sort of way, a major difference from the Lestat in Interview. That lestat was more mysterious, although he loved being a vampire and accepted it(unlike Louis) you get the feeling that there is more going on in his mind than Louis can see. His character in The Vampire Lestat on the other hand is silly and can really got on your nerves.There is nothing at all disturbing or dark about him, you know he will never really do anything totally evil, hes too sweet and adorable too. Its not really that this book is so bad(compared to Menoch its a masterpiece)its just that if she wanted to write a book about a charming,charismatic vampire why did she use Lestat?

Summary: Unbelievably exciting;romance and "smart" love at its finest
Review: Can a book be any more entertaining? Anne Rice has blown me away with the second book. The story completely took off and delivered me to another world that is so seemingly real I truly believe Lestat exists. The passion and lust for life and love between the vampires is so tantalizing to read that you understand what vampires feel when they drink. Anne knows how to write "real" romance.

Summary: A page turner, impossible to put down.
Review: The Vampire Lestat is in my opinion, the best of the Vampire Chronicles. This book contains an aspect of mystery, which the others simply do not. This book is interesting from the very beginning, not like other books that don't become exciting until the very end. Definitely worth reading.

Summary: A work of art!
Review: I loved this book more than I can explain. Sensuous, enchanting and at times wonderfully erotic, you don't know wether to fall in love with Lestat or to loathe him. One of my favorites of Rice's works to date.

Summary: well actually
Review: I'm a bit wreary of sequels, this sounds exactly the type heading for disaster. First of all, it all sound too familiar to the 1st tale, to the point where some facts in the 1st was changed. Granted, Louis and Lestat had difference perspectives and would tell the same tale of the time they were together differently. But Lestat as a vampire with human qualities, searching for knowledge about their kind? That sounds a lot like Louis re-hashed. I liked the fact that Lestat was different, that all the characters were vampires with their own characteristics. I would have liked to hear the tale of Lestat, as he was.But, hearing all the rave reviews, I will give this book a try if it's at the library. If not, I can pass just as well.

Summary: A painful read
Review: This book had brief moments of greatness but all in all the book was dull. Anne Rice trudges on endlessly it seemed at times, trying hard to make an exciting novel, but in the end fails miserably. The best part of the book was when it ended. This book has extinguished any desires I had to read the rest of the vampire chronicles.

Summary: words elude me
Review: This world of Vampires has captured my soul. Anne Rices talent exceeds description. I have read the entire Vampire series so far and have found a connection to it. To say it has inspired me is an understatement,(I've even begun to write again, a passion i thought i'd lost). The beauty and LIFE decribed in those pages cannot be found else where. Those who hate it, (this is not an insult)but you must not truly get it. The whole Vampire Chronicles continues to become more real and exciting and you read each novel. Anne thank you for this gift and please keep writing.

Summary: Trickster boy
Review: Lestat rules, plain and simple. He's my trickster vampire boy, a true bishonen. He's definetely my kind of guy, tearing around the modern world on a harley while listening to BACH? What can be cooler than that? The decriptions in this book are remarkable as well as the relationship between Louis and Lestat, lovely. Reading this book makes me want to run to Louisiana, to run off to Paris because the decriptions and characters are that beautiful and awesome.

Summary: WHY ALL THE SADNESS?
Review: I loved and still do the first book "Iterview with the vampire." And my hopes were so high for this one....but I didn't want all the sadness, the tears..we had enough of that with Louis...and the homosexuality amongst the vampires....Why not put at least ONE female into the heart of at least ONE vampire...not a mother, or sister, but a woman he would lust for. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't mind a little passion there between a woman and a vampire.....Sorry Ann, but you've written about men lusting for each other enough for a lifetime.....
