Made the mistake of watching the movie first...

Movies often don't do well by the book. This one did. It's a beautiful film that I've always loved and now I'm reading the original book. I've read others by Anne Rice and she crafts a great tale. I find the two mediums to go hand in hand. Lestat IS Anne Rice and, is she is a mystery, Lestat will always be a mercurial entity to behold. (less)

Did you consider this book to be a life altering work of literature? For myself, the answer was yes. Not because of the subject matter, but because of the depth of all the questions it birthed in me about life, the nature of man, and the nature of God, godliness, and god-like perception and power.

Maybe try requesting the audiobook from your library? The audio version of this book is really good and you can listen to it while you do busywork, so it won't put you to sleep.(less)

Does this book have smut? I really want to know because I'm dying to read this book, but I detest smut. I'm okay with insinuations, but not descriptions. THANKS :)
