_{Favourite book- The Vampire Lestat}

This book was the one that kept me reading. After reading Interview With the Vampire which was good but I didn’t love, I thought I’d read one more to see what my friend saw in the series.

And within the first few pages I understood. Conceptually this book is somewhat ridiculous, Lestat recovers from his vampire depression in the 80’s because he hears rock music and then starts a rock band and releases and concept album and tie-in autobiography, which is the majority of the book. But it was pretty well executed and Lestat was an engaging, charismatic protagonist so it was a lot of fun reading about his bisexual European adventures.

I understood after reading The Vampire Lestat why my friend loved the series, why she loved Lestat so much and this book is the reason I continued and eventually finished the series.
