PLOT

Eternally young, angelic in appearance, the Vampire Armand returns to New Orleans where the Vampire Lestat lies in the deepest of sleeps.  There, in the dark, dramatic American South, Armand tells his tale, and recalls the brutality, magnificent decadence and devil worship of his past.  From a half-forgotten childhood in Russia to slavery in Constantinople; from Renaissance Venice, where he is saved from death by the dark gift of Marius, the greatest vampire of them all, to nineteenth-century Paris, where he is the leader of the Théâtre des Vampires.

But now, in New Orleans, Armand is forced to make a decision.  Finally, he must choose between his existence of twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.

CRAIG'S REVIEW

75% of this book is really good but it is 25% that is quite a bore.  During his time with the Children of Darkness I found this to be uneventful and quite annoying.  I really struggled to finish this book as I wasn't totally interested in his time with the "Children of Darkness" parts.  It's worth the read *ONCE* but I can't see you reading it more then once.
