I've never read anything like this before. This book is written in a very "dreamy" and thoughtful way with a unique method of point of view that is somewhere between first and third person. This story is very well written, but it flows just a bit slow.

(I read the audiobook, Simon Vance really helped bring these characters to life!)

the movie is better.


Basically the way it's written is kinda hard to follow. There's no chapters or breaks within the book besides being divided into 4 parts. The focus is much more on the morality behind vampirism, so it's MOSTLY character driven in that way although there is some plot.

Amazing read. First time reading the novel but I’ve seen the movie. Beautiful writing. Gripping story telling. Very imaginative. I found myself swooning when I could almost visualize Louis exploration of New Orleans, the viliages of Europe, and the city of Pairs. I felt his suffering, his longing, his love, his passion, and even his sense of wonder. I must contiune the series.
