Ann Rice, Interview with a Vampire

Interview with a Vampire is an interesting story, that shines a new light on vampires. It takes the form of a boy interviewing a vampire with a tape recorder. That vampire is Louis. Louis describes his life, and how he's been dealing with immortality for over 200 years. He was changed into a vampire by a man named Lestat, so he would have company. The two characters are contrasted, Lestat a killing machine, and Louis struggling to deal with his morals.

I found this book interesting because it takes something so common, like a story about vampires, and shine a different light on it. We're getting a completely new perspective. We are told to think of vampires as evil, otherworldly beings, but it Interview with a Vampire, we see Louis struggle with human morality Louis seems almost still human. 

The novel also shows the effects of immortality on Louis. He suffers greatly from depression

 due to it. What I found most interesting about this was the fact that despite Louis warnings, and tales of anguish caused by immortality, the reporter still wished to be turned into a vampire.
