The Vampire Lestat By Anne Rice

The second book to Interview with a Vampire, a continuation of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, is the story of The Vampire Lestat. This mischievous vampire, who you may recall as Brad Pitt in the 1994 film Interview with a Vampire is a narrorator in this story.  Lestat is a beautiful yet wicked being who is on the search for love, and his biggest fear is to be alone for all eternity. His story follows his quest of finding the origin of his true immortality. The story also starts off with him claiming that Louis's Interview with a Vampire was a lie, Lestats plan throughout the book is to leave evidence that he is not an evil being.
Lestat becomes a vampire by the end of the eighteenth Century in Paris, France; he seems to be impetuous by nature, and is only content when he avenges or causes an incident somewhere. I enjoy him as a character, even in the first book, Interview with a Vampire, because his mischevious manner caused the great events in the story. He is a secretive bad-guy who starts off his side of the story as if he was innocent all along. However, as he developed into immortality he broke some of the traditional vampire rules by attending mass still, and transforming the love of his life as she was on the brink of death. As an obsessive individual who holds many grudges, his love was killed off by the coven and he sought to rebel. He had a reason but yet held hate and fear, which as always leads to a dark path. He becomes a womanizer to bait and kill, as well as cause drama that affects the vampire council. With all the human blood he comsumes everyday, he strives for power to avenge the vampire council for what they have done to him. This dynamic character having to explain his thoughts makes him more gulity to what lo manipulativeuis accuses him of being in the first book. Lestat is by far my favorite evil character since he has the manipulative wit to really mess up others which creates a very interesting story.
