The book, Interview with the Vampire is much better than the movie. I tried watching the movie three times and fell asleep each time, so you can only imagine my apprehension reading this novel.
However all turned out better than expected. The book is far superior to the movie but the over-the-top descriptions did get the best of me. Had it not been for the compelling story line and passages I would have skimmed through many parts of this novel.
I wouldn't' go as far as to say that, this is the "best" vampire story ever but it tells an interesting, emotional and compelling story. Rice is overrated and long winded yet her main character is so well developed and likable that you can't help but want to read the tale he has to tell.
Grade: C
