It is always hard to rate Anne Rice books, and The Vampire Lestat is no exception. Like Interview, it starts out strong, with action-packed pages and a lovable anti-hero. And, like Interview, it gets to a point where Lestat decides that it's time to tell his story in incredible, intimate detail. And it's not just his story. It's Armand's story. It's Marius' story. It's the story of Those Who Must Be Kept. The middle of the story - from around the time Lestat is turned into a Vampire until he departs for New Orleans - is a bit of a slog. The stories told are amazing and fantastical, but they seem to drag on and on. But if you make it through those pages, the action picks up again, and the book ends in a cliffhanger, setting off the sequel, The Queen of the Damned.
