Everyone in this book is either angry, having an existential crisis, hungry, or horny. 

Also, Lestat is an asshole who made me feel a LITTLE bad for him a couple of times and Louis needs to see a therapist. 

I read as part of a book buddy read with my friends and that was great because when you read this, you really need to discuss the homoeroticism and the anger one might feel over certain situations.
