«'Dizzying narrative flights . . . as brilliant as the first; it is funnier, wilder and more disturbing' - New York Times 'A rich and unforgettable tale of dazzling scenes and vivid personalities - Library Journal»

Ah, the taste and feel of blood when all passion and greed is sharpened in that one desire!' Lestat: a vampire - but very much not the conventional undead, for Lestat is the truly alive. Lestat is vivid, ecstatic, stagestruck, and in his extravagant story he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth-century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory; from fin-de-siecle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth-century world of rock superstardom - as, pursued by the living and the dead, he searches across time for the secret of his own dark immortality.

Kundevurdering:
Introducing, Lestat, he who appeared so cruel at first. Now we get the story from his perspective, he also takes us further back, to when he was still human. He leads us step by step thorough both his life up till when he first met Louis, and further on. AR has an amazing ability to present the reader with something or someone and then, without correcting her previous writings, add and add so that in the end, you¿re left with an entirely new impression. The mood of this book is less depressing than the first, the language even more flamboyant. You¿ll soon realize that this is how Anne Rice operates. Her different characters have different ways of communicating. Lestat is daring, excessive, intriguing and sometimes annoying, but always interesting and often humorous. Don¿t forget to buy the second and third book together ¿ you¿ll regret it as you read the last page, chewing your nails and realizing with absolute horror that all the shops and libraries are closed for the day. This is one of my favorite books in this entire series, and introduces the character most fans can¿t live without, who? The amazing Lestat of course!

– Denne boken handler om en vampyr, Louis, som forteller historien om sitt liv til en ung mann som tar opp denne historien på lydkassetter. I begynnelsen er han en ganske vanlig mann som bor på en plantasje i Louisiana, ikke langt fra New Orleans. Først senere blir han vampyr ved at han blir overfalt av en vampyr ved navn Lestat. Lestat blir hans lærer i den nye vampyrtilværelsen. På en måte er Louis en følsom vampyr, ikke bare en drapsmann som lever av andre menneskers blod om nettene. De tar blant annet til seg et foreldreløst barn og viser ekte omsorg for henne. Louis vil reise ut i verden for å finne flere vampyrer i sin stadige søken etter hva en vampyr egentlig er. Dette er en spennende bok som jeg anbefaler! NB! Boken er på engelsk!
