The Vampire Lestat - Anne Rice

...will have you gripped from the very start. i have owned it personally for several years and have recently re-read it and it still holds all the charm and mystisism of the first time of reading!!

It appeals to the darker side of everyone, anybody with any interest in immortality, the darkness of life, and behemian lifestyles, the story, strangely enough cover most, if not all, aspects of love in its own way. READ READ READ prob the only book i would buy no matter what the price!!! ...
