In Interview with the Vampire, the book was told from Louis’s point of view, this one is told from Lestat’s. This novel is the second book in the chronicles of the vampires by Anne Rice, and it would be strongly advised for fans of her work to read the first novel in the series, Interview with the Vampire first before the second book since it will have more meaning to it. Lestat is vivid, ecstatic, stage-struck, and in his extravagant story he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth - century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory from fin-de-siecle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth - century world of rock superstardom - as, pursued by the living and the dead, he searches across time for the secret of his own dark immortality. Lestat: a vampire - but very much not the conventional undead, for Lestat is the truly alive. Reviewed by Sandra Summary (from the book jacket)
