It's been quite a few years since I read "The Vampire Lestat." While it definitely expanded on Lestat's life, I remember it feeling sort of cheesy most of the time, especially the whole rock star angle. … more
hands down my favorite vampire book of all eternity! this was the book that brought me into my love of the undead....Anne Rice is the queen of my realm!
once again the onsscreen version didn't quite get me going as much as the written version did but i will say that tom cruise fits the lestat part much better than pattinson does the edward part.....might … more
the movie blew big time but the book was excellent! it is the backstory of how vampires came into existance, well researched and a very interesting read.
the story of Marius, Lestats mentor in The Vampire Lestat, and also the keeper of Akasha and Enkil in both the Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned.

I cannot give higher praise to Interview with the Vampire than to say that I wish I had never read this book so that I could have the pleasure of reading it for the first time once more. I try to return … more
