Considering my personal taste in novels and the chokehold the Interview tv show has on me, I expected to fall absolutely in love with Interview of the Vampire.

Unfortunately I had such a hard time going through this book: I felt the writing style to be at times redundant and intentionally confusing, and the format of the story, with Louis acting both as a narrator and as a main character, made it sometimes tricky to understand what was going on and how it actually impacted the characters.
Yes, there were certain devastating and heartbreaking scenes (if you know you know), and yet they were few and far between, with pages and pages of nothing concrete happening, neither in terms of actions or feelings.

I can honestly see the appeal of this book, but for me it just didn’t hit the spot.

I related to him in so many ways and so see him in pain I just-
