Sorry to 'Something About Me Challenge'

I just wanted to post this in case anyone from the 'Something About Me Challenge' comes along to wonder why I haven't posted up any reviews? Since starting work in September I don't read as much as I used to now, and to be honest I've lost the motivation to try and reads loads. I'm still reading but, a not as much as I used to. I still plan to read the books I picked in the Challenge, but only when I'm ready and feel drawn to read them. I know I won't get them read by December. Sorry....

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice.

Author: Anne Rice
ISBN: 0-7088-3153-2
Genre: Fiction/Horror
Pages:599
Format: Paperback
Publisher: Warner Books


"'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."

After reading Interview with the Vampire, I was really looking forward to reading the second in this series. The Vampire Lestat is, Lestat's story, his side of events that took place and how he became a vampire. This book was really fun to read, it was gripping in places and emotional. I've become really fond of Lestat, whereas, in Interview with the vampire, from Louis point of view he's a unkind.

Reading this book I could visualise easily the scenery and events taking place, I loved reading how becoming a vampire affected him, and I really liked reading about his relationship with Gabrielle. I'm really looking forward to the next installment which is The Queen of the Damned.

A really good read!
