A human reporter interviewing a vampire about his life that stretches across several lifetimes, an interesting framing of a vampire's story and the journey taken wrestling morality against the reality of oneself.

I read this book for the hpootp florish and blotts reading challenge. I used the 2023 reading challenge prompt read a book that includes vampires. It is also on Listopia's 300 books everyone should read once list. I enjoyed the book, but…

I loved this book. She thought deeply about what it means to be a vampire.

Tightly written, captivating story of vampires in love. Unfortunately, the later books are not tightly written, and I suspect the editor probably threw a lot out of this book. For the next volumes, the author was successful and didn't…

Definitely a worthwhile read. I was pleasantly surprised at the emotional intensity of this novel. It doesn’t seek to horrify in the traditional way and provides a fresh perspective on a popular topic. While at times the plot moved a bit…

Brilliant and full of pathos.

To the person downthread who described Interview With the Vampire as "Lurid rubbish with vampires," please consider that your actions have consequences. I was really looking forward to lurid vampire rubbish. You could have warned me about…

This is a beautiful book, and Ann Rice captivates the dark, and haunting nature of the supernatural. Although at times it felt like I was wading through the mud whilst reading, I did enjoy the allure of her writing. I loved reading…

Mixed feelings because I was caught up in the writing and characters, but at the same time, while there is a plot, it didn't feel like the plot drove the story along. Still, a must read for vampire literature.

This is the novel that made vampires sexy and romantic. I think they'd totally own those "Twilight" vampires. Rice's style is high-pitched and melodramatic and there are many ponderous discussions of life, death, eternity, good and evil,…

I'm not sure how I escaped a broody, gothic adolescence without reading this vampire classic, but I did. Reading it now, I find Louis to be a bit whiny for my taste, but Rice's depiction of the perspective shift in immortality still fairly…

Lurid rubbish with vampires.

If there's a word to attach to this book, it's captivating. Much like Lestat does with his mortal victims, Interview With the Vampire captivates the audience with breathtaking detail that pulls you into its pages. Though she adopts a…

One of my favourite novels Interview With The Vampire explores vampire romance the right way. Even if Vampirism or Romance do not strike you IWTV can be read completely metaphorically and makes some poignant statements on life and what it…

This is my favorite book. It is so pretty and it made me appreciate the little things about life. I have read 13 Anne Rice books now, and they are consistently fantastic. I think it it is good to watch the movie first. That way you like…

It is a slow start to the series, once you get to Queen of the Damned the series picks up the pace and it is worth it.

Not a bad read, pretty good in fact. Howver this authors later work is waaaay better, example the mayfair witches trilogy, servant of bones (mid 90's)....to be fair this is my second read of this one, was more impressed the first time (20…

While the movie was pretty faithful to the book, I felt that the latter best depicted the relationships among vampires and also Louis’ very human struggle to understand his place on this earth. In sum, Anne Rice brings these creatures to…

Great start but I lost interest about 1/2 way through. Second half seemed long and boring.

This is the book that got me into vampires, lo these many years ago. Ms. Rice's books are a very mixed bag--but the first two vampire books, as well as Memnoch the Devil and her non-supernatural novel, Feast of All Saints, are thrilling,…

A true Vampire Novel, no sparkling in the daytime. This is the one that got me into reading chronicle type novels or book 1 of _ novels. The Vampires exude sexiness and allure but are ultimately terrifying, something I find that is lacking…

this is the book that made me a reader! Loved this book, want to read all her books. Vampires that are real and understandable, sexy and filled with desires and longings.

Anne is very wordy and a lot of thought goes into one segment or time period. It could be a place or a minute. But she tends to over do it for me...a lot. But I DO love her stories. Sad she stopped with the Vampire Chronicles. This…

It took a while to get into this book but it was worth the initial struggle. I like this series of vampire novels.
