Oh, how I love Anne Rice.I actually started reading these books after I read Twilight. Yes, surprisingly, I went back to vampire fiction after that. Meyer is a good writer, but once you've met Anne's Vampires, you're never going back. Anyhow, this book was great. It still has the good kind of vampires: the ones that sleep in coffins, drink human blood and burn in the sunlight. This second book in the series wasn't disappointing, although I feared it might be, after reading the amazing 'InterviewThis is the sequel to Interview with the Vampire, in which Lestat de Lioncourt awakens in the 1980s, reads Louis' account of the events in Interview with the Vampire, and decides to set the record straight. Lestat takes us back to his upbringing as the son of a Marquis in France, where even as a mortal, he was in the thoes of an existential crisis, filled with the need to escape his family home. He runs away with his lover to Paris, where they join the theatre. It is here that Lestat is turned,

3.5 stars !The vampire lestat is like lavender candy floss.addictive and a tad too sugarytoo little....you want to grab another sticky handfultoo much....a belly ache and tooth decaybeautiful to look at but melts to something hard when saliva is addedvery enjoyable but need time away or it may lead to self-combustionnext year will start volume 3
After reading Interview with the Vampire, Lestat decides that he wants to tell his own story in the form of a book, The Vampire Lestat. He starts his narrative with pre-vampire life, discusses his transformation, and then the bulk of the story describes everything that happened to Lestat pre-Louis.I loved Interview with the Vampire. If I had read The Vampire Lestat first, I probably would have loved it just as much. Anne Rice's vampires are what vampires should be: dangerous creatures of the
