Somewhat scary and creepy. If only I didn't have the mental image of Lestat - which Anne Rice did well - as homosexual, this might actually have had a spot in my favorites shelf.
Lestat's experience as a human again cracked me up a bit. He kept whining on and on about how the human body he inhabited sucked.
I've read this book a couple years back and I've read the first few Vampire Chronicles as well. I remember how much I liked the first three books but then when the rest of the books came, I wa...more

Anyone who reads Anne Rice knows very well that her books are either totally awesome! Or totally terrible. There doesn't seem to be an in-between with her. Tale of the Body Theif is one of the good ones. Of all the books in the Vampire Chronicles, this one is the most "fun". It's kind of a "Freaky Friday" story, where we get to see Lestat try to cope with "life" back inside a living human body. I enjoyed it.
Ann Rice is another one of my favorite authors, she is very descriptive in her novels. The Tale of The Body Thief was one of the Vampire chronicles that she wrote. I was intrigued by the way she described how Lastat learned how to achieve OBE out of body experience and how he learned to leave one body for the other and his experiences as a human again. The brat Prince , gotta love him.
I read this years ago and the only thing I remember about it is the smell of cat pee. Everything else was just sort of a genre thriller without the visceral or boundary pushing touches that make a good Rice novel. Whoever compared it to the Love Boat was not far off.
I remember reading this a long time ago, just never marked it "read". I so love Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I think, over time, the characters became real to me, I couldn't wait for the next book!
I remember reading this, I couldn't put it down.

The artwork is only mediocre, but this is a really nice, self-contained Anne Rice vampire story. I am glad I gave it my time.
This one for me was difficult to get through. Maybe because it moved away a bit from the main characters.
Interesting beginning even though I thought Lestat was an IDIOT. Ends as Vampires on the Love Boat.
This was one of my favorite in the series. It was profound, paranormal and edgy.

Oh, I really love this book, I have read it three time by now.
Anne Rice has got to me one of my favorite authors of all time.
Was very interesting and quite a mind bust loved it
Awesome! Exciting! Sexy! Scary! So, Anne Rice!
This was interesting to say the very least
First Anne Rice book I read, got me hooked.
Better drawn than all the others. Nice story
Of Anne Rice's Vampire chronicle series, this is the book I remember most. The descriptions are amazing and I felt like I was the body thief while reading it. The writing is so good and the story is so original- a page turner.
Loved this book as I do anything by this amazing author! This was a rish departure from the vampire chronicles. She added her famous vampires in to add to the enjoyment of the read! Highly recommended!
