The Tale of the Body Thief
by Anne Rice
One of the less satisfying installments of the Vampire Chronicles . . .
When I first read The Tale of the Body Thief, I was thoroughly disappointed. After the grand, epic themes of The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned, it seemed such a silly, tawdry little story. Having re-read it many times since then, I have come to appreciate the better aspects of the story, including the deeper thinking about the nature of incarnation (which feeds into the 5th installment, as I recall) . . . but it still is one of the less satisfying Vampire Chronicles . . .
