foxrain reviewed Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
None
3 stars
I started reading this book years ago but didn't get very far. Now I decided to fill this gap in my cultural knowledge. I can see that many books have taken strong influences from this one, especially Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin and the Twilight series.
The writing style is captivating but the story and the characters are mediocre. I liked how the storytelling is an ode to living in the moment, appreciating life and the little things. The format of interview/monologue invites you to just keep on reading until you've read the whole thing.
Some parts, especially, the relationship between Louis and Claudia, weirded me out.
