A vary good read, the book is so much better than the movie. In the movie they cutout so many key components. Also some of the characters roles and relationships where completely changed. I'm not sure why they felt the need to do this in the movie. But the book is vary good, like all of Anne Rice's work. If i had to pick I think Anne Rice's interpretation on the classic vampire is my favorite. I love how rich the characters are and there relationships. In all her books there vary deep and well thought out. Her story's are almost more of strange love story's between many characters even if there not romantically involved, as well as vary theatrical. It's a shame that all the movies based off her books are so butchered (my opinion).
This post has kind of turned into a post more about her vampire books as a whole, so to get back on track. The characters in interview with a vampire are all great and iconic type characters. The idea of interviewing a "monster" or "vampire" is also a great one. getting to hear the story of there life, who wouldn't want to know/hear about that. I also enjoyed how descriptive she was with things in the story like Lestat dancing with the corpse of Claudia's mother. This story is much like Frankenstein, its more about the struggle of being a "monster," the struggle to want to be normal, in a world where everyone strives to be different.
