Interview with the Vampire

[TheAbominatrix]

I have yet to read Interview, but I have read its sequel The Vampire Lestat as well as Queen of the Damned and the Vampire Armand and I believe a few others. I have also read all of Twilight.

Rice's books are, for me, often difficult to read (not reading level or anything, but rather difficult to keep interest in and claw my way through said book) especially the entire first half of The Vampire Lestat, which is incredibly whiny and homo erotic. Now I usually like homo eroticism but Lestat's is just boring and tedious (the same idea in the Vampire Armand is much more entertaining) and the 'Brat Prince' is a total bitch.

Queen of the Damned was far better because it showed the history of the vampires and explores the stories of many different characters rather than Lestat, but it's like all of Anne Rice's stories. The best way I can explain them is to look at the Vampire Chronicles goth culture it spawned... that's the feel of those books. Dark, but cheap dark. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

And... that's all I can think of to contribute at the moment.
