Anne Rice's Debut Novel: "The Vampire Lestat"

ayrielle: The media could not be loaded.  Great book! just a little annoyed with the book coming apart so easily. i may have gotten a faulty one, not sure. but as i'm reading the pages are coming out. i haven’t had it long so it shouldn’t be coming apart at all.

stevensteven: Great read, love Anne rice and her writing style, only bad thing is the actual book started falling apart about half way through which made reading a bit more of a challenge.

Ashleigh: I enjoyed this so much more than Interview with the Vampire and found Lestat was so much easier to read from and was a lot more fascinating in terms of his life before Louis. I really liked discovering more about the older vampires and seeing how The Theatre of the Vampires was created. I also really liked the music aspect of this book which really appealed to me and seeing how much it truely meant to Lestat.
The ending left me wanting more and can't wait to see how this continues in Queen of the Damned

MClara A: Bem, eu preferia ter lido o livro em português, para ser franca... Mas já que não havia ebook desse livro em português, decidi me virar com o inglês. Não recomendo que um iniciante comece por esse livro. Apesar de ser um ótimo livro, há muitos termos estranhos a um não nativo, principalmente os termos de roupa usados por Lestat... era raro eu entender a roupa que estavam usando, mas ele falava delas a todo momento. Claramente também não um livro curto, por assim dizer... Ainda esse não seja meu primeiro livro realmente, mas mesmo assim ainda não estou acostumada a ler livros inteiros em inglês e acredito que perdi o ritmo durante o livro, muitas vezes. Principalmente ao final, em que não consigo sequer decifrar se foi realmente rápido demais ou se era por que eu não estava entendendo direito... Mas, enfim, quanto ao livro....

É impressionante como eu esqueci completamente quase tudo que eu não gostava desse livro, passei da metade. Na primeira conexão que o livro faz com os acontecimentos de entrevista com o vampiro, além do próprio Lestat, claro, parece que tudo começa a encaixar rapidamente, tudo começa a ser milhares de vezes mais interessante que...

WriteStuff: When I wrote my review of `Interview with the Vampire', the first of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, earlier this year, I ended hoping that its sequel would be less ambiguous. I am delighted to say it is, although it almost goes to the other, indepth extreme!

`The Vampire Lestat' is a hefty tome which principally follows the life, creation and afterlife of the enigmatic Lestat de Lioncourt, a minor French nobleman who dreams of more than the futile existence dictated by his position as the younger son in a poor but arrogant family. But this book is also about so much more. This second Chronicle is a lot thicker than the first for the simple reason that it not only contains the `life' story and personal development of Lestat himself, but also the histories of two older vampires, the elegant Marius and the lost Armand, as well as legends of the race's origins and the first vampires, Enkil and Akasha. Like the first book, `The Vampire Lestat' continues to ponder life and death, good and evil and where vampires fall in the grand scheme of things, but there is also a lot of action and adventure which give the overall tale much more bite than the first and greatly improve its...
