People who would like this book would be those who have liked the twilight series because of the vampires. Also anyone who likes adventure or mystery would like this book because it is never ending supply of those characteristics. If you didn't like twilight you might still like this because this isn't a "Love" story.

Summary:
It starts out where the vampire is being interviewed by a young man then Louis the vampire goes into the story of how he came to be a vampire. He lived on a plantation with his family. On their plantation Point De Luc they grow cotton. Later on Louis' brother dies and he thinks its his fault so he just wants to die because he can't live with the guilt any longer. One night he wanders into a dark ally where he runs into Lestat who is the vampire who changes him. Lestat teaches him the tricks of the trade and Louis doesn't like killing innocent people. Later on they meet a young girl named Claudia who they change into a vampire, who begins learning from Lestat but she doesn't like him. Claudia decides its time to get rid of lestat so she brings him two people to kill after the first he realizes something is wrong and figures out she has poisoned him. Claudia and Louis back their bags and head off to Europe where they run into some vampires who don't think like them, Claudia senses danger in Paris but they get kidnapped and locked up in a cell. Later on Louis returns to New Orleans and wants revenge on the french vampires!

I liked this book it was very interesting but at times it seamed to drag on. the reason it is so long is because it is an in detail description of Louis' life before and after his transformation. At times you forget that it is meant to be an interview. Ms. Rice is a good writer she tells the story very well making you feel like you are a part of it.

Favorite Passage:
"The vampire was utterly white and smooth, as if he were sculpted from bleached bone, and his face was as seemingly inanimate as a statue, except for two brilliant green eyes that looked down at the boy intently like flames in a skull."
(Page 4)
you can just picture the description. all the adjectives make you feel like your in it.
