The Vampire Lestat: 2 (Vampire Chronicles) Mass Market Paperback – 12 Sept. 1986

This book is great, I'm looking forward to reading it very soon. It's good quality paper and bound well. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Thank you

I recently read my first Anne Rice book, Interview With a Vampire (IWAV), and I was engrossed in it. I just had to read this sequel. If I thought IWAV was good, then this one blew me away. It was a fantastic read. Anne Rice has a beautiful and captivating style of writing. I was utterly absorbed by this book. Highly recommend. I look forward to reading book three in the series, Queen of the Damned.

So glad to have this book to add to my collection. Only one thing to watch , it's not a 1985 printing like it says on the description. If you're hunting for first editions , like I was , this isn't one. Still happy with purchase though as its in excellent condition. ( Printed 2022 )

When I wrote my review of `Interview with the Vampire', the first of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, earlier this year, I ended hoping that its sequel would be less ambiguous. I am delighted to say it is, although it almost goes to the other, indepth extreme!`The Vampire Lestat' is a hefty tome which principally follows the life, creation and afterlife of the enigmatic Lestat de Lioncourt, a minor French nobleman who dreams of more than the futile existence dictated by his position as the younger son in a poor but arrogant family. But this book is also about so much more. This second Chronicle is a lot thicker than the first for the simple reason that it not only contains the `life' story and personal development of Lestat himself, but also the histories of two older vampires, the elegant Marius and the lost Armand, as well as legends of the race's origins and the first vampires, Enkil and Akasha. Like the first book, `The Vampire Lestat' continues to ponder life and death, good and evil and where vampires fall in the grand scheme of things, but there is also a lot of action and adventure which give the overall tale much more bite than the first and greatly improve its pace.Although I enjoyed this much more than `Interview...', I believe that both books should be read rather than one or the other. `The Vampire Lestat' casts a great deal of light on the events of `Interview...', placing it in the context of Lestat's existence and explaining much of the what happened between Lestat, Louis, Claudia and Armand. It's almost as if `Interview...' is a taster for `The Vampire Lestat' rather than a novel in its own right.In short, although its length made it hard to keep momentum towards the end and I feel a bit cheated because it's now clear that the second and third Vampire Chronicles are really one book/story rather than two, I feel that my perseverance has been rewarded and I am keen to continue reading. `The Vampire Lestat' is exciting and interesting, just as its predecessor verged on the depressing and perverse, and it really is a great read. Just try not to be put off by the size of it!

Fantastic book . Could not put it down . A good amount of detail in the story . Very well written. Absolutely loved it

Bought this second hand so the perfect wasn’t 100% however, I could still read the book and it was in good condition. Good read and I’m happy with this purchase.

I read this book first when I was fifteen and found it in my oxfam book shop where i worked. I couldn't believe there was a writer who had written a book based on the vampire lestat from the queen of the damned movie which i adored especially at fourteen! and still to this day! (24 NOW)and 24, i have re-read it and it is still one of my favourite novels ever.

The Vampire Lestat is a phenomenal story. In the first book we only get a glimpse of Lestat through the eyes and words of another, but this story lets you really get to know him. It's somewhat of an origin story that introduces you to a fantastic world you can easily get wrapped up in

As a lover of Anne Rice, this was one of many books to read from her Vampire Chronicles stories. I much prefer a physical copy of a book than reading it on a Kindle (my argument is that an electronic "book" will eventually need to be charged while a real book will never). I absolutely love how Anne weaves her tales of Lestat and his struggles and successes but also brings to light some important themes of vulnerability, being mortal/immortal and such

This is an truly amazing book! Definately better than interview. And you really dont need to read the first to completely enjoy it! If you want to be totally immersed in an origin story then order this now. You will not be dissapointed.

Muy buen libro, apenas llegó y ya voy por la mitad.Sin duda alguna Anne Rice es una excelente autora!

È Lestat!!!!❤️😘
