Once an aristocrat in the heady days of pre-revolutionary France, now Lestat is a rockstar in the demonic, shimmering 1980s. He rushes through the centuries in search of others like him, seeking answers to the mystery of his terrifying exsitence. His story, the second volume in Anne Rice's best-selling Vampire Chronicles, is mesmerizing, passionate, and thrilling.

Amazing performance
I read most of the Anne Rice books in my teens and twenties, now in my forties I am revisiting them through audio book. Bravo this book was a powerful performance by writer, narrator, and Lestat!

Great insights into Lestat’s life
Great narration - yes the voice seems way older than it should be for Lestat, it suits Marius much better, but the narration is excellent nevertheless.
This is a great way into understanding more about Lestat, his views of the world and why he is how he is. Loved it

vampire lestat
anne rices follow up is not as exciting and a little more long winded. while i found interview to be timless; plenty of the references in lestat seem dated, the ideas not as enthralling with my latest re listen.

it was OK
I didn't love the first book but I did love the movie about the first book. I decided to go ahead with this book with a hope that the continued story would spark up the love i had when i first saw the movie. It didn't. It was very similar to the first book, too many overly romantic themes and the agony and suffering of unrequited love and the torment of being a vampire. Again it was just OK. I would not recommend it unless you are a fan of the romance genre. I am not.
