I actually enjoyed this quite a bit - mostly because I grew to like the characters of the first book and the material was all new to me. As much as I didn't care for Lestat in the film, he was surprisingly charming in the book. This book had a more immediate feel than _Interview With The Vampire_ and that made it more enjoyable. Anne Rice's husband's poetry makes annoying chapter openers and I'm rather tired of the dragging nature of her writing and the way she skips over parts that I would like to hear more about. Still, I did enjoy it quite a bit - more than I thought I would.
