Interview with a Vampire - Ann Rice

I have yet to actually read her vampire work. Despite the fact I've been on a vampire binge the past month book wise. Maybe I'm inadvertantly rebelling?

Just kidding, it's mostly because the copies at my library are the hardcovers and I know I'll want to read it at school. It's practically another text book to carry...

I agree completely. It's a bit odd that she'd suddenly get so religious but at the same time, she's probably sick of writing about vampires and wanted a change.

Well, from what I've read/heard about her, she grew up catholic and stayed strong with it until her adult years, and when her daughter died she was very depressed and drank a lot. If I'm correct, her husband also passed away (or perhaps it was only that he had a bad accident? I don't quite remember) a few years ago. Some people say this led her back to her catholic faith, but she says his death did not.

But....don't quote me on any of this XD I have terrible memory.

Anne Rice is my favorite writer ever. She's amazing. I mean, I'm speechless. I don't even know how to say it.

Interview with the Vampire was a great movie. "Evil is a point of view." I love that quote. And I agree with Tom Cruise being great in that. I don't think there could ever be a more perfect actor to play him. It kind of freaked me out when I heard that Brad Pitt was playing Louis, because.......it just freaked me out. He was pretty darn good though. Kirsten Dunst as Claudia=amazing. Also perfectly chosen. And I find it hilarious that Antonio Banderas played Armand. Ha! I call him the Latin vampire.

Speaking of Armand, I am in love with him. I've been reading the books all out of order, so the first book I read with him in it was Queen of the Damned. It's one of my favorites, and he's my favorite character.

As for those who couldn't get into Interview With the Vampire, you should really try reading another one of her books. I think that's, so far, the most boring one. The others are much more interesting.

Also, concerning her religion, she's always mentioned the vampires as believing in God and some considering themselves damned because of what they are. So, I don't think she's making too much of a change.
