Really great narrator (Audible version)! I liked this book even better than the first in the series, mainly because of all the backstory and Vampire history. I'm already digging into the third book now.

I mean, I liked it, but it is perfectly batty, isn't it?

I love rockstar Lestat!

So this would have been my second time reading this - the first time would have been 13 years ago. It didn't feel like a reread though, it felt like, wow I actually grasp all of this for the first time. I loved it, I love Lestat. I have a bigger appreciation for Anne Rice and her writing as an adult vs. being a teenager.
