Vampire hero, rockstar and seducer of millions, Lestat is an immortal extraordinaire...
But Lestat yearns to be reborn a mortal. Tormented to the depths of his vampire soul he wanders aimlessly across the globe, from Amsterdam to the Amazon jungle, until he meets the one being who can grant him his wish. He is the Body Thief, more sinister and evil than any daemon. But when Lestat surrenders his vampire body he discovers what he'd so long ago forgotten: the awkwardness and anguish of being human...
- My opinion -
I don't want to be controversial here but I didn't enjoy this book very much for some reason. I can't really explain - the story was interesting and it was fascinating to see Lestat in some rather tense situations but I just wasn't moved by the novel very much.
If The Tale of the Body Thief is your favourite novel vote for it
