I read all of the Vampire Chronicals books that Anne Rice as written and loved them all, and of course when this last book of her came out I bought it right away, I only read the first 100 pages of the book, I couldn't read anymore after that, I never was able to get into the story and the character of the book I could care less about his life and the rest of his family, even with Lestat in the book this book was doom to fail.Sorry Anne but not bying anymore of your book after that one.
