Title: Lestat = Cool. Louis = Whiny.
Review: This Lestat bears very little resemblance to the creature we are introduced to in Interview with the Vampire. I wanted to kick that Lestat in the crotch. This Lestat, I want to offer my neck to. While the author does try to explain pieces of his behavior in her last novel as misunderstandings and ignorance on the part of Louis, I don't really buy it. I think it would have been more congruent to character to introduce an entirely different vampire and ascribe these experiences to him.I would have liked to have had more of this book take place in the present, as I feel the conception of his musical group and his reasons for wanting to reveal himself are not really explained. While I enjoyed very much the stories of Lestat's and Marius's pasts, I felt that they went on rather longer than necessary. I read this as an e-book and even in Microsoft Reader, it was 908 pages!I am enthralled with Akasha, however, and am very much looking forward to reading Queen of the Damned.
Is the review positive or negative?
