About this audiobook
Lestat. The vampire hero of Anne Rice’s enthralling novel is a creature of the darkest and richest imagination. Once an aristocrat in the heady days of pre-revolutionary France, now a rock star in the demonic, shimmering 1980s, he rushes through the centuries in search of others like him, seeking answers to the mystery of his eternal, terrifying exsitence. His is a mesmerizing story—passionate, complex, and thrilling.
Praise for The Vampire Lestat
“Frightening, sensual . . . Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature. . . . To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Fiercely ambitious, nothing less than a complete unnatural history of vampires.”—The Village Voice
“Brilliant . . . its undead characters are utterly alive.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Luxuriantly created and richly told.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer

I was looking for a good sci-fi. I don't usually go for book about vampires when they are written by women and this book reminded me why. I'm about 2 hours into the book and it seems more like Brokeback Mountain replacing cowboys with a vampire. I like her style of writing, but I am in agony getting through two young men exploring all their touchy feely stuff. I want vampire stuff, not gay stuff. I also don't usually write reviews before reading the entire book, but this is really annoying me. If the book turns and get more vampirey I may come back and edit this review. But at 25% in, I'm seeing a bromance more than sci-fi.

An amazing story that I had no idea I was going to enjoy so much. I think I enjoy this book more then "Interview with a vampire" I can't wait to start book 3 😁

Lestat's adventures are so epic. My only complaint is the narrator. I feel like he's trying to sound like a stereotypical vampire.
