THIS IS NOT THE LESTAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

This is not a novel it's a sermon, a rant even. Its all here God, The Devil, Creation, Angels, Heaven & Hell. You could call it The Gospel according to Rice. If you get to the bit where Lestat drinks the blood of Christ then you've done really really really well. You might think that is a really exciting part of the book but it really isn't. Nothing really happens apart from a tiny bit at the end.

first 180 pages ok
last 40 pages ok

The rest is preachy, bonkers and pointless.
