I finally finished the book. I bought the book about a month ago, yeah I know I'm a slow reader but In my defense I was busy with work,

Now let me give a little taste of what I read

In San Francisco, a vampire named Louis tells his 200-year-long life story to reporter Daniel Molloy. He told the story of how be became the creature that he is now and how he came to know Lestat, Claudia and Armand. All three Characters played a big role on Louis’s narration.

I must say I was enthralled on how Anne Rice made the scenes life like, very intricate and beautiful

This Book was even made into a movie *which i bought when i stumbled on a copy on a local video store on my way home* starring Brad Pitt as Louis, Tom Cruise as Lestat , Christian Slater as Daniel Molloy a.k.a the boy interviewer of Louis, Antonio Banderas As Armand and the young Kristen Dunst as Claudia

Frankly the movie was not that shabby however it lacked the story, as always on Hollywood interpretation however the actors made it very good special mention on Brad Pitt.

Now I'm reading the other second book which is "The Vampire Lestat"

Until then.
