Oh how I love to listen to a vampire audiobook as it grows cold. It reminds me of listening to Dracula for English IV as winter fell. Interview With a Vampire is a vampire novel unlike any other I've had (though, seeing as my experience is limited to Dracula and Twilight, I suppose that's to be expected).
This novel was strange in that I wasn't particularly attached to any of the characters. Of course, none of them were human enough for me to feel anything for them. It was interesting to learn about vampires alongside Louis, and the novel asked questions about immortality that I had not questioned myself.
I, like the boy interviewing, would still like to be a vampire if provided the chance (and isn't that funny seeing as I'm vegan). So perhaps Louis would be disappointed in me, too. I don't know if my enjoyment of the novel came from the narrator or the audiobook itself. I must say the language was absolutely exquisite, and I loved the descriptions of everything.
I don't think this is the kind of novel I will reread. Perhaps after I have gone through grief of some sort. Right now (being that I am 20 and have endured minimal hardship) it does not hit as hard as I believe it should. I think I will listen to The Vampire Lestat out of curiosity. Unrelated but when I think of him I imagine Lucius Malfoy.
