Review by Helen (310106) Rating (8/10) Review
by Helen He is warned against the body swap, by David Talbot, his mortal friend and Superior General of the order of Talamasca (paranormal investigators). But Lestat, being arrogant and cocky as usual, thinks he can handle himself and pays Raglan James a great deal of money to do the swap for 2 days, with the promise of more money when the body gets returned after the 2 days. But this is where it starts to go horribly wrong for Lestat. All the human bodily functions he did not have to worry about as a vampire were now a necessity, and there was even worse to come. Lestat learns what it is like to be truly human and powerless. This is definitely one the better vampire chronicles books. The story is rich and descriptive like most of Ann Rice’s work, but the plot is quite different compared to her two previous books. It is full of imagination and you feel really involved in the story. I really felt sorry for Lestat and couldn’t wait to find out how or if he was going to get his body back. Being human is very cleverly told from a vampire’s perspective. All the things we take for granted, like eating and using the bathroom, for someone who has not done these things for hundreds of years become quite difficult. I
really enjoyed this story and you don’t even have to have
read the previous books, as there is a prologue to introduce the
characters. I would recommend this to anyone interested in vampire
or supernatural fiction. |
