Title: The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
Review: The Vampire Lestat is a likable villian to many. After reading this book, Anne Rice conveys his hardship and pain so well I think that he is more like an "homme fatale" (newly coined term, huh?). Rice's ability to leap back and forth in time to tell the story as if it is a movie is very obvious. And the story is very engaging, and Lestat is very human. His life in France before becoming a vampire is interesting indeed. And his reasons for coming to America are too. He seems, from the author's description, to be a natural born actor. I certainly hope that any band he now created makes it. I hope it's not Satanic to Anne Rice any more. Just "fatale". This book makes me wonder how many fictional vampires are real. So Anne Rice has snagged my imagination. The book is entertaining and provocative.
