The writing style annoyed me so much with the constant use of the word “preternatural” and it’s kinda silly but I didn’t like how every paragraph started with a quotation mark

Let it be known I did not read all 1200 pages! I only read Interview with the Vampire and the beginning of The Vampire Lestat.
Honestly, I really liked it! I've never read the book before, but I've seen the movie numerous times. I personally love the film, as do many others tbh. I had a feeling the book would be different. I'm honestly surprised the movie was close to the book, but there were obviously some differences. I do really enjoy the book, and I'm actually glad that I finally got around to it. I hope to read the other 2 books soon, but I do recommend reading the first one! It's iconic!

To be honest, I almost DNF'd this book. It started out slow and felt like it was trying too hard to be like Frankenstein.
But I'm glad I stuck it through because I ended up loving it! I really love Louis and Claudia. I felt for them both in their heartaches in dealing with immortality as they are. Now to finally see the movie lol.

Yep, still didn't like it and couldn't get into the prose or find commonality or understanding for the characters.

Classic and the best vampire novels of all time! Anna rice is such a good writer that makes you fall in love with the characters. I don’t know how else to describe these novel other than this is what started the vampire trend and in my opinion on the top list of best every novels written, so much I’ve read them more than once!

Louis is a little whiney and it's not gripping me. It's kind of bland. Next try I'm giving it until page 150 if by then I'm not invested it's never happening

Interview with the Vampire⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Vampire Lestat⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Queen of the Damned⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Vampire Chronicles Collection by Anne Rice includes the first three novels in the series.
Interview with the Vampire, Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned .
The trilogy of novels are beautifully written and explicitly queer. Sensual and intensely erotic, this series reads like a study on the senses. If you love Vampire and lgbtqaa+ fiction these novels would be perfect for you.
The Interview with the Vampire is a beautifully written novel that dives into the realm of the senses. Interview With the Vampire is
Sensual, erotic, thought-provoking, and mesmerizing. It makes sense why this novel, as well as its two sequels in this collection, is considered a classic. The novel is explicitly queer and filled with diversity.
The Vampire Lestat is a incredible
sequel/prequel he artfully displays Ann Rices writing capabilities and incredible world building. The Vampire Lestat details the origin of the queer icon himself from list French revolution to 1980's US.
The Queen of the Damned is a epic conclusion to the original Vampire Chronicles trilogy Detailing the original of Akasha, The Queen of the Damned, and her rise to Godhood in the 1980s, this novel is a thought-provoking joyride from start to finish
It makes since why Anne Rice was a hero for so many, she was fearlessness to be herself and have minorities represented in all their awsomeness..
