Reseñas de la Crítica

"Frightening, sensual.... Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature.... To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away." ( San Francisco Chronicle)

Still whining, Lestat?

I first tried to read this book 15 years ago after loving Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire.” However, this book was a chore due to the extreme dislike I felt for Lestat. It’s all about him and his perception of everything. Back then, I didn’t get more than halfway through his story. Finally, Thanks to Simon Vance’s performance in the audio book, I am now able to say that I have finished this story. I still greatly dislike Lestat, but at least I understand him better. The part that occurs after he leaves France has the most character development and story progression, but that is the second half of the book... So prepare to muddle through his human life and resistance to detaching from it, because that is what makes him insufferable. I can definitely say that Lestat makes a much better vampire than a human. I look forward to listening to Simon Vance’s performance in the rest of the vampire chronicles.

Not too bad

It had its moments of dread and dragbut overall this ended up being a good read.

the performance was incredible and the storey woeful and awestruck. I have the books and I still prefer to hear them read to me.

Great narrator for my favorite vampire

Well worth a listen :) Simon does a great job, and his narration is paired well with the awesome backstory of Lestat

I’m searching the earth for immortals whom i may encounter so I can persuade them with my sexy dance moves to turn me into a immortal also. My dance moves are so hawt, just sayin. can spin super fast and then stop without getting dizzy. I Once convinced my friend I had a sexual relationship with Anne rice also so I’m very good at physiology and would be a gr8 vampire pls k.

when vampires still had fangs

this book was given to me when I was a young pup it was probably the first book I ever read for enjoyment and other than hitchhikers guide it's the book I have read the most times these vampires are beautiful and evil and very "real"

Loved the book, love the audio!

LONG-time lover of the book, so I was a bit wary of who would "play" the larger-than-life character of Lestat. I was most pleasantly surprised; the narrator was not only perfect as Lestat, but he was able, with subtle voice changes & accents, to bring all the richly drawn characters to life. MOST ENJOYABLE!

An absorbing storytelling

Simon Vance helps bring the story to life. I loved the story and the storytelling.

Riveting

Transfixed by this the entire 17+ hours.
Enthralling and engaging, an epic tale masterfully woven.
