Interview with the Vampire

3.5 stars

I buddy read this book with a group on Instagram back in October. I did end up liking this, but I was expecting to enjoy it more than I did. Don't get me wrong overall I did enjoy it but there were some things that bothered me that I just couldn't overlook. This might be slightly spoilery so if you haven't read this book yet you might want to skip this review. First of this book is told in an interview format which was fine for me for the most part but every time he stopped telling the story and started talking to the person he was telling the story to it took me out of the story. That happened all throughout the book. Louis was one of the main characters and he was probably my favorite character, but his constant brooding got annoying. The relationship between Louise and Claudia was weird at times to read. Nothing actually ever happens between the two characters but the way it was written made it sound kind of sexual and given that Claudia was a child it was just weird to read at times. I'm not sure if that was how it was meant to come off but to me it did. Other than that I really enjoyed it. I ended up being more into toward the end because a lot started happening. I would be interested in continuing on with the series but I'm not in any hurry to pick up the next book.
