This was my first Sojourn into the world of vampires and the undead when the DVD came out, I enjoyed it that much that I just had to have the book and am glad I did. It's funny, when I read the book now I often get the music from the soundtrack to the film stuck in my head. ***** The Book ***** Ann Rice is ... Read the complete review

This is the first novel of Anne Rice's that I have read after having it recommended to me by a friend and after hearing so many wonderful things about this book, I simply had to see for myself what all the fuss was about--I was certainly not disappointed! I have always had a soft spot (one could call it a morbid fascination) for Vampires ... Read the complete review

This was the first Anne Rice book I read although I have always been interested in Vampires and it made sure that I was hooked and I have since read the many more she has written. This could be said to be the book that started the more recent interest that seems to have sprung up. It concentrates around the life of Louis a ... Read the complete review

I finished reading this book for the second time recently and enjoyed it as much as the first time. I don't generally read a lot of vampire fiction but this was recommended to me by a friend so I gave it a go - the novel tells the story of the 'life' of a vampire, Louis, over the span of several centuries. Louis' experiences are ... Read the complete review

I had to get this book after watching the film (which you may have read my review about), but I kept on forgetting to keep a look out for the book, then I was both surprised and happy to notice that a new bookring on this book appears on "BookCrossing" and I just HAD to sign up, other wise I would have forgotten about it....

I actually read this book after reading the rest of the vampire chronicles because a friend of mine told me that the film was pretty much the same as the book. After reading all of the other chronicles I went back and read this book and I was a bit disappointed. I just didn't enjoy it as much as some of the other books. It wasn't ...

I am a walking cliche. I am *one of those* Whenever I have a *favorite book list* to fill in, *interview with the vampire* is always in my top ten. Interview with the vampire was published in 1976, written by Anne Rice. Even though it was written in the 70's this book hasnt lost any relevance. In San ... Read the complete review

About ten years ago or so now there was a film made of this book starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. So even if you've never heard of Anne Rice before, I bet you'll have heard of the film that was based on her book! I think it's very important to note that the film differs quite a lot from the book though so it's best not to have too ... Read the complete review

Interview with the Vampire is a compelling read, although I do think that it is a little depressing and leaves you feeling a bit empty once you finish it. I've actually read this book in one night.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice will without doubt be one of the most memorable pieces of fiction in its genre this century.

"Interview with the vampire" inspired not only an excellent film, but also Sting's song "Moon over Bourbon street" and changed the face of vampire fiction. It is a strange blend of horror, angst and guilt - a very Catholic nightmare, and one that was very personal for the author. "Interview" is the first ... Read the complete review

I haven’t read any books for years, I can’t remember exactly the last time I did, maybe as long as 20 years ago! Shame on me. And I can’t even remember the name of the last book.

What a book this is. It was written just after the death of Ann Rice’s daughter. She locked herself away for a week or two and wouldn’t talk to her husband (published poet Stan Rice). When she came out she gave the manuscript to Stan, he read it and realised that he had just read one of the finest works of horror. ... Read the complete review
