Summary
In another feat of hypnotic storytelling, Anne Rice continues the extraordinary Vampire Chronicles that began with the now-classic Interview with the Vampire and continued with The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned.
Lestat speaks. Vampire-hero, enchanter, seducer of mortals - for centuries he has been a courted prince in the dark and flourishing universe of the living dead. Lestat is alone. And suddenly, all his vampire rationale - everything he has come to believe and feel safe with - is called into question. In his overwhelming need to destroy his doubts and his loneliness, Lestat embarks on the most dangerous enterprise he has undertaken in all the danger-haunted years of his long existence.
The Tale of the Body Thief is told with the unique - and mesmerizing - passion, power, color, and invention that distinguish the novels of Anne Rice.

Another Great Anne Rice book!
I read the vampire trilogy when they first came out. Now in 2016 they continue to thrill me. I only wish that the other books in the vampire chronicles were in audio format. Very enjoyable having the books read to you, allows your imagination free reign, therefore I enjoyed the books in a fuller way.

Did not disappoint!
Oh, Lestat... *Facepalm*. What is he thinking? Actually, I don't think he really is thinking! But again, there never is a dull moment when Lestat is around. He seems to always make the wrong decisions which usually leaves him in some sticky situations, and this story was no different. Now I can't decide whether this one or The Vampire Lestat is my favourite so far!

Brilliant
Anne Rice has done it again. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it really had it's humorous moments. I became fully immersed into the story which Simon Vance narrated absolutely perfectly, giving every character their own unique sound and accent. I won't give any spoilers but the particular part towards the end was written so perfectly I could picture what was happening so clearly in my head it sparked such emotion of rage it was untrue. This book is a whirlwind of emotions full of plots and twists. Brilliant.
