The way Anne Rice has such a command of her prose is truly awe inspiring and the level at which relationships and the drama therein is what drives the plot is absolutely what I desire to do with my writing and I now see it can be done successfully for this style of story.

I enjoyed reading this book but it was far from good. There’s a horribly written incest/pedophelia plot which seems more romanticized than condemned in any way. It feels very sloppily written as well. If you’re looking for a book to read based purely on vibes, then this book is okay, but try not to think too hard while reading it.seanml's review against another edition

I could not remember the ending from prior reading or the movie, so I was able to read it as if it were the first time and find myself pleasantly disturbed by the possibilities of how the story could unfold.
Despite the creativity with what vampirism means in th Anne Rice's world, I would definitely call this book classic horror, with the twist being that these vampires are not mindless monsters. They may be monsters, but the nuance of what makes each of them a monster is what makes them compelling.
