Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice
Interview with the Vampire is a vampire novel by Anne Rice written in 1973 and published in 1976
Seen the movie ,(1994) yes, the storyline was there aswell as the characters, but as always or as in most cases, the book and the movie should not be compared because its just dumb. It cant be compared unless you of course see the movie first.
If you read the book, in this case, you get a completely different story in your head, you get a picture of the characters which the movie will probably only destroy no matter how good the movie in itself is. Therefore, I would suggest that everyone just stop comparing and just try to see the book and the movie as two different stories.
Now I really liked this book, I havent read any of Rice´s other works which I can´t believe myself.
"Interview with the vampire" is a story which sounds "realistic" in a world where vampires exist because the way Louis talks about his life makes you truly understand his sufferingsin a true way and you might aswell be able to make metaphors out of the extraordinary characters and events that occur in his life, and translate them into our own ordinary lives and events that we go through in life.
Out of 5 I would give this book a 3 and a half...probably because I saw the movie first and had a hard time to get away from the annoying famous faces of Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Kirsten Dunst playing Rice´s characters which ruined the experience of the great story for me, unfortunately.
Anyhow, Rice surely knows her vampires, so this is a must read!
