I have just finished the first three in the Vampire Chronicles series. This is by far the best. A little gory but what do you expect. The story of the red twins is enough by itself. Imaginative explanation of what happened to create vampires. Nice break from Vlad - no mention of him. I am going to wait before reading The Tale of the Body Thief which is next.

The Movie Sucked!

It is nothing like the movie. The movie ruined the plot and characters of the book. If you have seen the movie you probably won't like the book.
