tracewiley 's review for:

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
3.0
adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The book started slowly, with lestat speaking directly to the reader. It felt like an early YouTube vlog, more than a book about a 300 year old vampire. 

And then the pace picked up. And then it DID feel like a book about a 300 year old vampire. It was good, all around, though most of the characters not from France still heavily resembled white people, which I found a bit odd.
