Description

Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force–a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write.

From the Paperback edition.

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) Written as breaking new ground in the 1970s, this still remains as a pretty damned good vampire tale. By the end, I realized that I was not just reading a clever vampire book, but a commentary on ...

LibraryThing

LibraryThing Review I had such a difficult time finishing this book. It was whiny, and ridiculous. I liked it for the first few chapters, then it just started going down hill. This writing style is different, and took a while to get used to. Having read only this of Anne Rice's novels, I'm not entirely sure that I want to read any more.

LibraryThing

LibraryThing Review I think because I had seen the film multiple times before I picked up the book I'm quite bias when it comes to this. I did enjoy reading it, even though the style of writing isn't really my cup of tea (I tried to read The Vampire Lestat - and got halfway through. I just cannot finish it). I enjoyed reading about the characters and being able to see them in my head (perhaps a downfall of seeing movies first). I'm not sure that I would read it again though.

LibraryThing

LibraryThing Review My first introduction to the world of vampires created by Anne Rice. Fantastic read...

LibraryThing

LibraryThing Review Oh Anne Rice. Whether or not you did it on purpose, all you really accomplished here was adding New Orleans color and pointy teeth to The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Goodreads

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) A really good book. After I finished this book I instantly started thinking about the movie and how true they stayed to the source material. From what I can remember of the movie (I can totally be ...

Review: Interview With The Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) Okay Twilight fans, and fans of all other modern vampire novels, THIS IS WHAT VAMPIRES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE! They are not supposed to sparkle, they are not supposed to be teenagers, they are not ...

LibraryThing

LibraryThing Review I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected to. It was a book club pick, not something I would have picked up on my own. I enjoyed the narrative style, the drawing out of each of the characters, and the sweep through history. I can't quite decide if there's supposed to be a moral to the story or not, and perhaps continuing into sequels will make that more clear. Again, I didn't expect I'd be inclined to read any sequels, but, not I'm not so sure. Might have to find out what becomes of our wayward interviewer.

Goodreads

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) One of my all-time favourites. I regretted reading the sequels though. As a standalone book, it's lovely and sad and horrific all at the same time. The horror is not gore; but rather, if you take the ...

Goodreads

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) So good! I love how the story unfolded before me and I throughly enjoyed the change of narrative form, that it's actually Louis soaking himself and telling you the story straight from his lips. Good ...

Review: Interview With The Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) So, I read some of the Vampire Chronicles about 15 years ago, but I don't remember if I got through book 2 or book 3. Either way, I know I read this one and the next, but have since been exposed to ...

Review: Interview With The Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) Totally gothic - the transformation and the coffins, I didn't expect to see Dracula again. This is my second time to revisit the classics recently but this one is quite different. Anne Rice introduced ...

Goodreads

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) To be honest I can't say I truly liked this book. Louis is a drag and Claudia is one hell of a brat. I wished Lestat would have put a extremely brutal end to them but I know how Rice based the character Claudia on her late young daughter so I'm not surprised.
