Summary: Anne Rice has done it again
Review: If anyone could master the way Anne Rice writes about the world of vampires I'm not likely to believe it. She's got a great sense of it and this book is likely the best of her writings.

Summary: If only Lestat really looked like Tom Cruise...
Review: This is one of my favorite Anne Rice novels. The beginning seemed kinda slow, but overall, the book is good. I liked it. It picks up after Lestat is turned into a Vampire. "THOSE WHO MUST BE KEPT" was truly a wonder. This book completely won me over, and it is the reason why I read the rest of her Vampire Cronicles. Great book, slow beginning, but... still... I liked it.It's worth the buy, guys.

Summary: Anne Rice is amazing
Review: Anne Rice I loved and hated but when all is said and done she wrights the way only a truely great wrighter can. People feel the same about shelly some hate her and some adore her, it is all just one opion. Lestat is not only the best vampire of all times but the cutest too. I adore all of anne rice's wrighting.

Summary: Powerful, provides an interesting perspective on immortality
Review: The bottom line is that this book is entertaining; a real page-turner. It also brings up thought-provoking issues about the "gift" of immortality. It's worth reading especially for Rice's clever description of real vampires. My only fuss is that sometimes Lestat sounds a bit too feminine. All in all though, a grand novel.

Summary: A work of poetry!!
Review: I started out a complete Louis sympathizer, but then I read this book. Lestat takes us on a journey that completly fills the senses; you see the world through his eyes, you taste the night air, you are on his quest with him, all the while taking the world in as you have never before seen it. Few authors can put that kind of feeling into a book, but Anne Rice does it, and then some. It is a true blend of horror and romance, with a bit of the odd and erotic thrown in for good measure. A must read for book lovers of all types.

Summary: SLOW & BORING
Review: I can't believe all the positive reviews! A good book is supposed to make you forget that you are physically reading - this only happens once in this book, and it takes place in the first few pages. I kept wishing that certain characters would die so that the plot could move along. Yeeesh- you die hard Rice fans will accept anything.

Summary: BORING
Review: THE ONLY GOOD POINT ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THE FIRST 20 PAGES AND THE LAST 20 PAGES. ANN RICES DOES IT AGAIN, THAT IS RIGHT TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY A WASTED READ. I FIRST READ INTERVIEW AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID THAT IS THE WORST ONE AND ALL OF THE OTHERS ARE OUTSTANDING BOOKS, BUT AFTER READING THE 2ND NOVEL IN THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES I MUST SAY I WILL NOT READ ANOTHER. ANN RICE IS A VERY BORING WRITTER AND I DON'T SEE WHY SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE HER NOVELS. OBVIOUSLY YOU PEOPLE GIVING HER ALL OF THESE 5 STAR RATINGS HAVE NEVER READ A GOOD NOVEL.

Summary: Wow!
Review: What a fabulous book! This book is definitely worth buying- I've read it over twenty times. It's absolutely fabulous. I didn't truly like "Interview" (although that's probably because I saw the movie first) and it was my very first Anne Rice book, but I read TVL and I foumd it to be my favorite book ever. This book is most definitely one of the best! From his castle to Paris, to Cairo, to the Greek island of Marius, to New Orleans and finally to San Francisco, every adventure of Lestat's and every page in this book is enchanting and fabulously written. Definitely a favorite!

Summary: I fell in love with a vampire...
Review: This book is the most fabulos thing with vampires in it I have ever seen! Anne describes them with more warmth than I thought possible. I cried for Nicholas and Claudia. When our favourite brat got up stage, I roared of happiness. And when he went underground after the Great Trip through the world, and Marius found him... The gentlest of vamires lifted him up and took him under his wing. Marius. The name reminds me of the sea.

Summary: A must-read for vampire-lovers and non-lovers alike!
Review: Admittedly, I didn't like Lestat after the first book, but my misgivings were rapidly dispelled with the pouring forth of sentimnets by the "brat prince". Anne Rice effortlessly brings us into the world, not just of vampires, but of anyone who has wondered on the meaning of life. Afterall, like Lestat has termed the "malady of mortality" can besett us. We inherently believe in the goodness of man, that he seeks to live a full life in the best way he knows how. Only here, the supposedly evil nature of the vampire provides the contrast, and hence, the dilemma which huants the living days (or nights, in this case) of the vampires. A final comment for now, though I'd probably contribute more in future, this isn't just about vampires, but "the human spirit put to the test of time to more fully become the person that you would be given infinite time", to paraphrase Anne Rice.
