monovev 's review for:

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
3.75

Wanted to like it more than I did. Unfortunately something just wasn't clicking.

On the other hand, Lestat is a pretty fun character to follow and I was a bit more invested in what he was doing in his immortal life, Gabrielle (leaving out the weirdness of her relationship with Lestat) was definitely my favorite character from the 2 books I read. Really wanted to see more of her in particular.

And again, some passages had such a fever dream quality to them same as the first book. I'm unclear on how I feel about it yet (a bit positive maybe).
