After the dismal experience of trudging through Queen of the Damned, it took me a while to pick this one up. It didn't take long before I got sucked into it and I ended up really enjoying it. Maybe its a little bit more on the guilty pleasure side, but still a pleasure ;) Lestat ha gozado de una existencia cómoda, su supremacÃa indiscutida en el mundo de la noche colmaba sus aspiraciones. Pero una duda le llevará a replantearse la razón de su existencia. Impulsado por su afán de conocer que por primera vez hará tambalear los cimientos de su reinado de penumbras. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In another feat of hypnotic storytelling, Anne Rice continues the extraordinary Vampire Chronicles that began with the now classic Interview with the Vampire and continued with The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned. Lestat speaks. Vampire-hero, enchanter, seducer of mortals. For centuries he has been a courted prince in the dark and flourishing universe of the living dead. Lestat is alone. And suddenly all his vampire rationale—everything he has come to believe and feel safe with—is called into question. In his overwhelming need to destroy his doubts and his loneliness, Lestat embarks on the most dangerous enterprise he has undertaken in all the danger-haunted years of his long existence. The Tale of the Body Thief is told with the unique—and mesmerizing—passion, power, color, and invention that distinguish the novels of Anne Rice. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Our main character, Lestat de Lioncourt, is now based in Florida. Since the last book, The Queen of the Damned, all the vampires, both old, and very old, have now gone their separate ways. Lestat is now alone again, and tiring of the life he is leading. As a result, he resolved to commit suicide by flying into the sun above the Gobi Desert.
Whilst other vampires would burn to nothing if they did the same thing, Lestat is not other vampires; he has drunk the blood from the first Vampire - Akasha - and is now more or less the most powerful of all the vampires alive. As a result, his attempt to kill himself, is a failure. Instead of dying, he gets a nice golden tan. Which, ironically, helps him to fit in with mortals.
Throughout the beginning of the book he is followed and accosted by a man who claims that he has the power to make Lestat human again. He explains that he is a body thief. In fact, the very body he is inhabiting has been stolen, and he is offering this body to Lestat as a trade.
Lestat's incredible vampire enhanced powers, for a human body. Suffice to say, he can't refuse. The deal is made, two full days where he and the body thief swap bodies. But, what will he do when the body thief lives up to his name and steals Lestat's body?
That's what the novel is about.
Whilst the book is well written, it meanders a lot. You find yourself wanting to skip through large chunks of the novel, not because you're desperate to know what happens, but because it's just, plain, boring.
If you've read the other vampire chronicles, you owe it to yourself to read this book, but don't expect the same grandeur or plot that you've read in the previous three books in the series. (
