Anne Rice fans...?

I have to say I was previously that snobby English major who refused to read Anne Rice--and then my favourite professor offered a course on pop culture that featured Interview with a Vampire as part of the reading list. I was hooked. It really is a truely fascenating novel, and what's more unlike a lot of pulp fiction, she really has a lot of depth and different ways of approaching the text. I wrote a paper on Claudia, so I must say she is my favourite character. Considering that Vampires experience sex through the act of sucking blood, what does that say about the fact that Claudia was victimized at the age of 5? What about the fact that after she becomes a vampire, she herself victimizes. Is Rice possible addressing the problem of child abuse?

Questions like there are what really won me over! A truely great novel in its own right.

It's been such a long time since I have read the Vampire books....but I have to say I loved Lastat & Pandora...and the Roman. The Queen and her successor were fascinating as well. All of Anne Rice's books are so full of richness of scenery & character it is hard to choose just one...

i'm sorry, yet i attempted interpreting Interview with the Vampire a minimum of one/2 a dozen circumstances. and that i advise i fairly positioned extremely some attempt into attempting to ascertain it. I purely ought to no longer get previous the first financial disaster. I actual have examine thousands of books so a lengthy way in my existence, and that i purely can no longer locate myself taking section in the before Anne Rice books. and then I picked up Blackwood Farm. I very virtually positioned it down lower back, because it become nonetheless component of the Interview with the Vampire sequence, yet I added it homestead from the library in spite of each and every thing, because there wasn't a lot of a range that I hadn't already examine. nicely, i become hooked. The writing in Blackwood Farm is nowhere close to as tortuous as in Ms. Rice's before books. in reality, i found it very not uncomplicated to positioned that e book down. So i guidance that you examine Blackwood Farm. yet i also ought to alert you, that it receives you hooked into the characters, and also you'll finally end up interpreting the subsequent books in the sequence purely to work out what occurred to the characters added on.

Armand. Louis and Lestat were both good, but Louis was a bit too melancholy and whiny for my taste, and Lestat a bit too psychotic. Armand is refined, educated, morose, and brooding....without being a whiny weirdo.

Lestat, without question. His feelings are that of a human, and yet no one would understand him. Human nor vampire share his views on life.

it is between Louis and Armand, but my fave book is Armand. It was such a sensual book and true in some ways to history

Probably Pandora. She seems most sympathetic and "human" to me - kind of playful, lively, witty, etc., but also thoughtful and wise. Very close is Marius, though - he has a lot of soul.

Armand, because he was corrupted at an early age and I feel an affinity with him.
