Pros

  • I picked up _Interview with a Vampire_ when I was probably like 12 or 13?
  • Interview with a vampire is really good.
  • Anne Rice Interview with a Vampire
  • I like the book a lot, but it’s not a horror, thriller, mystery, etc. It’s supernatural fiction.
  • I liked it. It's worth reading just to get to the next two books.

Cons

  • It's definitely not horror or mystery. It's more Gothic... romance? It's my least favorite of the series, honestly. It's a slog every time I read it cause Louis is insufferable.
  • It’s the worst book in the series..skip to the vampire lestat
  • I got 20 pages from the end of that one and decided to DNF. I just didn't care what happened so I moved on to another book that I was excited about.

I’m about 1/3 of the way through the book and I’m just SO bored. I thought the concept sounded interesting and I’ve had so many people recommend it to me, but it’s such a snooze. I love a good horror/mystery novel but this doesn’t feel like one at all.
