I started reading this after having watched the tv show and didn't really know what to expect from the book. It took me a while to get into it (mostly because I'm not a fan of long chapters) but once I did I struggled to put it down.
The book contains some interesting interpretations on humanity, good vs evil, and the inability to adapt physically or mentally to new circumstances. Louis and Armand's conversation about gradiants of evil vs a single act condemning someone particularly stood out.
The character of Claudia is especially interesting, growing into womanhood whilst stuck in the body of a five year old girl. I found her relationship with Louis uncomfortable at times, especially when the word 'lover' was used or they were described as kissing on the lips. Whilst I believe this is meant to further demonstrate the struggles of her character finding love when stuck in the body of a child, I am glad the TV show chose to remove this element of their relationship, even with an older Claudia.
