Prince Lestat Anne Rice 8601420971615 Books

What can I say? I read the first vampire offering from Anne Rice as a twenty one year old while lying on my mid century modern sofa in the Castro District of San Francisco- right down the street from the Divisadero address of the book itself. (Well, it was known a second hand couch then!) I was in the grip of that novel until I finished it. I've read all of the other books in the Vampire Chronicles as well as Rice's other offerings. Now here I sit, two weeks until my 60th birthday having just finished Prince Lestat. Shall I just say that Rice's journey, Lestat's journey in that forty year span, and mine have been similar. (I won't bore you with the details of mine other than to say that like Rice I ventured back into and then back out of the Catholic Church and like Rice and Lestat, I've moved into the era of our current technology that couldn't have been imagined when I read that first offering.)

I am still a fan. I loved this book. I borrowed it on eBook from my local library and there was a long line for it. I am now retired in a small town in Southern Oregon with lots of seniors. Ann Rice is my kind of senior. I'd love to hear more about Prince Lestat.

Prince Lestat Anne Rice 8601420971615 Books Reviews

I really enjoyed all the other Anne Rice novels I've read so far and was thrilled to find another! It's been awhile since I read the other Vampire Chronicles but she does a good job of "review" throughout the book. I'm actually only about halfway through it right now but am really enjoying it. She's an author that has such a way with words I find myself rereading a sentence of group of sentences only because of the magical way they sound. I enjoy her phrasing, descriptions and style. She has a way of describing things from a vampire's point of view which is so intriguing and I find myself really relating to these vampire characters and their issues. If you liked the others, you'll like this one, too!
I LOVED all of Rice's other Vampire books & was disappointed when she decided to stop writing them. When a friend told me she had written a new Lestat novel I was excited but worried at the same time. I was worried that since it had been so long since the last book that it might feel and sound different than the others. But Rice delivered maybe my second fav book in the series! it sounds and feels like she wrote the book a week after she had the last and i was very happy. A definite must read for any Anne Rice fan!!!
This is the book I have been waiting for. Before taking a break with the vampires, the books seemed to always be missing something that made them exceptional. Nothing could match the awesomeness of the first three books. I have to say that Prince Lestat finds that missing piece. It felt like the proper follow-up to Queen Of The Damned. While the plot is somewhat predictable, that doesn't make it any less fun to read. It is a great return for Anne and I hope she can keep up the new found momentum.
Obviously beautifully written. I am a huge fan of Ann Rice, however, the first part was really difficult for me to understand. I had to keep re-reading..wait what? Who?
Then she got so in-depth with the bios of the characters that I felt like, 'Ok, I get it. I know him/her. Can we please get to a plot?'
The Voice. Argggg. I understand Lestat's compassion and all for The Voice/Core, whatever, but to just take him in like that? Why? After 200 pages on the lesser characters all of a sudden The Voice becomes a benevolent child..could have used a bit more there.
The climax...finally...was rather anti-climactic for me. And those crazy kids just wanna have Blood fun.
I dunno..just seems like the last 4 chapters are meant as a tease for the next book. And after almost 600 pages I felt a little cheated.
Love you Ann, but I basically just wanted to get through it because I'd invested so much time on two thirds of it.
I have always been a big fan of Anne Rice and the Vampire Chronicles. I'm just now getting around to reading the later novels, but I am glad that I finally did! "Prince Lestat" is a bit confusing at times because it is told from the points of view of many different characters including Lestat himself, Marius, Louis, and many other vampires and spirits (there is a handy appendix in the back of the book that briefly goes over each of the characters). All of the older vampires' minds are being invaded by a creature known only as "The Voice." The Voice haunts their thoughts and tries to trick these vampires into doing horrible things such as killing the fledglings. All of the vampires must unite to determine who or what this creature is, why it does these things, what it really wants, and of course how to defeat it.

As I said before, the different points of view can be confusing. In fact, it is downright chaotic at times. However, I honestly think this is fully intentional on Anne Rice's part. I think she wants you to feel the chaos and confusion that the vampires are all feeling. She wants you to feel their pain, anger, guilt, fear, joy, and every other emotion they are experiencing throughout the novel. Rest assured that it all comes together in the end and everything suddenly makes perfect sense. I literally could not put the book down for the last 100 pages or so! I have ordered the next book in the series and cannot wait until the latest one is released later this fall!
I'm really perplexed at so many bad reviews for this book. It's been years since I've read any of the older books, at least 15. And I'm pretty sure I skipped some of the side stories.

I feel that this book was a perfect way jump back into this "universe". Unlike many of these whining reviewers, I really enjoyed all the characters that were brought into it, and it was really easy to keep track of them with the way the chapters were broken up. I had always wanted to know more about the very ancient vampires, the Talamasca, and about Amel.

Without spoiling too much, some long standing questions were answered, and the climax was great in my opinion, and even some sad points (sad for someone like me who read the main sequence books and loved them decades ago).

I'd say this book was way better than Tale of the Body Thief and Memnoch the Devil. Not as good as Queen of the Damned, and on par with Interview and The Vampire Lestat.
