A review by danielmolloy
The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice

dark mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

okay so IN THE END i found i liked this a hell of a lot more than i thought i would on first reading.  it's good!!  i wound up loving david, lestat got some great character stuff to do, we got a lot of louis time (!!!!), and lestat got a dog!!  i had to restart a couple of times due to the patented Anne Rice Extremely Slow Opening, but after that i was completely hooked and stayed that way!!
