  • This series started off wonderfully, but as it dragged on it got to be more about sex and politics than about being a vampire and it got less interesting.

  • Reading with G ❤

  • My best friend G is a huge fan of IWTV and we're currently reading this together, so far I'm loving it. It's much different than let's say Twilight or the Sookie Stackhouse series but that's all I have to compare it to so far because these are my first vampire novels.

    Anne Rice modernized the erotic vampire tale when she published Interview with the Vampire. I read this in college and decided with all the new vampire hype to read it again. At first, I was disappointed because I remember it being mesmerizing. Halfway through, I remembered why I loved it so much. Louis and Lestat's relationship created much of the storyline but the addition of Armand at the end brings the story to a closing point. Claudia is the epitome of a spoiled brat but you cannot help but empathize with her position. I am on to the next one.

    This is a very unique Vampire story that put the Vampires with flesh and blood that they cannot escape. Their sufferings are aggravated through ages and compounded from their immortality.

    Rice has redefined the Vampire's characters mixed with love and hate. Each one of them has inherited his/her own pre-vampire life as a baggage and been struggling to adjust the status quo.

    Just my opinion, but I really think that this is the book that started the whole paranormal fiction craze. When I picked it up, I really had know idea what to expect, but I had read Bram Stoker's Dracula a few years before and really enjoyed it. This was such a "fun" take on vampires, at least at the time. I think I was pretty much hooked from the get-go.

  • I'm always fancy about "immortal life". Cool, isn't it?

    However, it's definitely not I'm looking for, as life will be too sad!
