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.

I have no idea how to describe the things this book made me feel, but let’s just say I needed a moment when I finished it.

Louis was a poor meow meow before the term was ever invented and I think that's beautiful.

I don't know how Anne Rice made such a pathetic, wet noodle of  man deliver some of theee most floor shaterring observations ever known to man, but she fucking did it!!! Every time Louis starts to talk about evil I sit my ass down and listen to him.

But also Louis is so so lame. The first man to ever be baby trapped by another man, and he just keeps failing upwards. C'mon Louis! Eat some people! Fuck the blonde bitch! Adopt some more demonic children! I'm sure it'll all work out in the end.

This book is a beautiful classic and everyone who's a fan of horror should read it because Louis' capture (and the entire Paris arc) in the end gave me anxiety. Also Anne Rice's vampires are super cool and evil when they aren't crying about how catholic they are. Were.

I found the narrative went through plot points too quickly and focused too heavily at times on emotional reflection.

DID NOT FINISH: 64%

There's only so much casual pedophilia I can take. I tried to finish just to finish. I can briefly tolerate  that Louie is an unreliable narrator and begrudgingly read through it even though he doesn't seem to show any character growth in the hundreds of years since he was a bored, unthinking plantation owner who cared more about capitalism than the humanity of the people who worked his land. I just couldnt do it for nearly 300 pages.
