Anne Rice - The Tale Of The Body Thief Synopsis: Welcome back to the world of the vamipre Lestat! Years have passed since his rock-star-gig and he's yet to learn his lesson, this time falling into the Angel trap of allowing himself to switch bodies with a mortal. A criminal, sociopathic, body-stealing mortal. The Tale of the Body Thief is more than just Lestat's quest to return himself to his graceful, eligant body, but a tale of Faust-like philosophy; of how an angelic, atheistic nun can come to love a vampiric devil; of mortality, for all its ups and downs; and, most importantly, of Hamlet's eternal question, what it is like to be. If you're a fan of the series - especially of Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat, it's a must read. If you prefered Queen of the Damned for its world-reaching, apocolpyse-bringing narrative, why not skip ahead... for Memnoch the Devil awaits.
