Brilliant! The only reason I gave this edition 4 1/2 stars instead of 5 is that my edition (the one with the same exact cover), the words tend to hang off the edge of bottom of the page making it a bit hard to read on certain pages...I don't know how this happens, but it put me back a bit at first...
ANYWAYS! back to the book! The book had me clinging to every descriptive word, never wanting to stop. I literally spent all the free time I had when we took breaks during testing my junior year in high school to read this book....I just read it a second time a month or two ago and I don't think the film gave it 100% justice, though it was close (Idk, I disagreed with the choices of actors-besides Kristen Dunst)
Anne Rice write highly descriptive passages that send your mind into far off places and the characters are all expertly written. I disagree with some of the reviewers below, I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the book, and I cried (don't want to reveal any spoilers) at some of the sadder tragic pieces...I really felt a sympathy for Claudia and felt that maybe, more should be written about her feelings towards being a women inside and remaining a child outside...maybe a novella, called Claudia and her journey through her life before she became a vampire?
HIGHLY recommended for people that like Classics, The Victorian Era, vampires, or just a good mouth watering read!
