The Vampire Lestat (Vampire Chronicles)

I loved this novel. It's so dark and penetrating, so descriptive, developed and downright demonic. What more could one ask for? I think Anne Rice is a genius and that this is a masterpiece. I'm happy to have finally read it. Lestat and everyone else's backstory is superb, fascinating, enthralling, historically contextual and, most importantly, meaningful. So much thought was put into this book and, in that, not enough praise can be given to Rice. The way everything comes together is so profound and so beautifully romanticized. It should be enjoyable to any lover of the Goth genre. If they're not already fans of this kind of fiction, however, it could very well convert them. Lestat is an absolutely awesome character, with humour, the inexorable exuberance of life, relentless rebellion, love, courage and a ceaseless will to power, I find him to be absolutely riveting—a true Prince of Darkness.

ヴァンパイヤレスタトがヴァンパイヤになる前の話が語られるのは、この本しかない。この本を読み終わると、あなたはレスタトの虜になってしまっている自分を発見するに違いない。この本の中で登場するアーマンやマリウスは、多くを語られていないが、私はこの The Vampire Chronicles の番外編である Blood and Gold を先に読んだので、アーマンやマリウスが出てきた時に非常に親近感を覚えた。やはりヴァンパイヤの魅力や周辺知識を得るために、この本より先に Blood and Gold を読むことをお勧めしたい。楽しさが１０倍増すことは間違いない。 もちろん、この本を読んでから Blood and Gold に進むのも悪くない。そういう楽しみ方ができる人がうらやましいとも思うこの頃。

A história é super bem escrita narrada em primeira pessoa pelo próprio vampiro Lestat por quem é impossível não se apaixonar. Ele tem uma força vital incrível, sempre em busca de novas experiências lidando com os erros que comete ao longo de sua existência. Recomendo para quem gosta do mundo fantástico, em que o magico existe. Leitura leve.

Okurken sayfalari tek tek kopuyor maalesef baski kalitesi inanilmaz kotu. Elinizde kalmadan okumaniz imkansiz. Hava ruzgarliyken kitabi disarida okuyamiyorum cunku sayfalar tek tek kopup ucuyor

A really good book. Very well written. The plot is about Lestat's mortal and immortal life. But also about the vampires he meets along the way. This is his story and their stories. About Lestat's love for and lust to live among humans. About Armand and Maurius' stories which tells the stories of the beginning of Vampires. The book is beautiful and haunting. Can highly recommend.

This is an truly amazing book! Definately better than interview. And you really dont need to read the first to completely enjoy it! If you want to be totally immersed in an origin story then order this now. You will not be dissapointed.
