The Vampire Lestat
by Anne Rice
6 stars. So, this is the origin story of emo soft boy Lestat in response to the other emo soft boy, Louis telling his story which is the book Interview With the Vampire but I preferred Lestat’s story a hundred percent more. My main gripe with book one is that I just have never found Louis to be an interesting character. Movie version played by Brad Pitt is fine but Lestat was always the more interesting of the two of them so to have a book all about him is amazing.
This was epic. And dense. So damn dense. Rice’s writing style is gorgeous and lush. She has one of the most unique voices in writing but it’s really heavy and dense so I would read it in chunks and then put it down. Even though these are books about vampires they read like literary fiction. Lestat is now my favorite vampire ever. Seriously, he is so well developed and complicated with all of his depth. I just adored him dearly. I will definitely be picking up book three soon since this one ended on a cliffhanger.
I’d highly recommend this because Lestat’s journey from human to vampire is quite the ride and I loved every single moment of it.
