I read this last year for the first time and I loved it. I love the relationship dynamic between the characters and the philosophical that the book raises, but the thing that surprised me more than anything was how beautifully written it was, I wasnt expecting it.

I've since watched the film which I found to be 'ok', I wasn't that keen on the film version of Lestat, I have recently watched the new TV series adaptation and it is brilliant. There are some big changes but the heart of the characters and plot are there and Lestat is absolutely fantastic, so once you've read the book I'd recommend the NBC series.
