Entrevista con el vampiro

So I did enjoy this - it made me happy. Even though it was overly long, kind of boring and whiny. Oh Louis, get over yourself. Like re-reading Pride and Prejudice, or Dracula, in that it's the kind of book that makes me want to tell the characters off. But not as well-written as either. Anne Rice farts around too much, and obviously had her own tortured relationship with good, evil, sin, etc to process via this book. Anyway. It was better than I expected.

J'ai adoré. L'ambiance lourde et flou, le calme et les pensées presque philosophique du narrateur, cette quête de sens... C'était magnifique. J'ai enchainé les pages, prenant plaisir à la lenteur nécessaire du récit, mais je comprends que certains ne l'apprécie pas. De mon côté, ça à été une douce délectation de bout en bout.

I'd read this gem when it came out in paperback, and I was 12 years old. I loved it so much, I did an except of the interview as a skit in camp that summer.
