The difference between the book and the movie of Interview with the vampire is that you have Brad Pitt in the movie that you can watch while he is whining but in the book there's just whining.

I agree 100% (and I'm not even such a big fan of Brad Pitt). However, there's no comparison between Claudia in the book and the movie. It's not a comment on Kristen Dunst, I don't believe any child actor has that range and it's perfectly normal. The book Claudia drives the entire narrative for me and is by far the most interesting character.

@@biankatoth1786 That´s a shame. Claudia in the book, especially when she´s an adult (at least on the inside) is one of the most fascinating characters in vampire literature in general, in my opinion.

Oh! Could you please recommend books about Edinburgh or set in Edinburgh? That would be great! Also, about vampires in different cultures. In Russian mythology there's a very vague description of vampires per se, all these creatures of night and evil are just generally referred to as "nezhit'" which literally means not-alive or dead-yet-moving. But in the southern regions there was (or maybe is) a belief that people who talk to themselves can actually at some point become vampires. Also, unlike western culture, vampires turn into butterflies, not bats, but they do drink blood. Kinda interesting, I hope...

Dracula was a delight for me, but I do agree with you. The second half, and particularly the final quarter was just not as strong or interesting to read than earlier in the book. I actually saw a review comparing the second half to a conference meeting, and I can't say I entirely disagree. It was a four star for me though, and I look forward to rereading it sometime in the future.

Loved the vampire tales of your city! Here in Brasil we have a murderer named Niterói's Vampire he is said to have murdered 14 kids (did horrible horrible things to them, not gonna say here, too many TW), he's called vampire for drinking the blood of some to be "beautiful like them", he's been more than 20 years in prison if I'm not mistaken and may be released in 2023 (we don't have perpetual prison here)

Something to note with Interview is that Claudia was initially formed out of the memory of Michelle, Anne Rice's daughter who died of leukaemia very young, so you're right the sorrow of being stuck never able to enjoy growing up was absolutely something she was exploring - adds an extra level of pain to that character i think, realising where the idea of an undead child came from. I agree about the film, helps that Anne herself wrote the screenplay (unlike the carcrash that was the Queen of the Damned film, lol, they cut half the story out of that one), but the cast played it brilliantly too.

Hello lovely, As always coming to your video's around Autumn/Winter is one of my faves as you put so much time and effort into your content. It's truly a joy to my soul to be surrounded by aesthetically pleasing and atmospheric decor and feeling. Coming around Edinburgh with you was lovely as it was mean and moody and very historic. Thank you again for your attention to detail in your video's as its very much appreciated. I just wish i enjoyed literature but sadly its not my cup of tea. Have a great rest of the week and loving the nails by the way. Be well and take care. x

I was actually pretty disappointed by Dracula for one particular reason. For a book about Dracula, there's barely any Dracula in it. I would have appreciated either a few chapters from his PoV or at least a conversation that would reveal his back story and motivation a bit better then the crumbs we got. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I actually prefer the movie adaptation 🤷‍♀️ As to Interview with the Vampire, I definitely prefer the movie. The book doesn't have enough Lestat and it compensates with Louis being an immortal emo 95% of time. For me, the book is only worth the read thanks to Claudia because there's a complexity to her character that no adaptation can capture realistically with a child actor playing the role. On a different note, I really loved the Edinburgh shots in your video. I'm definitely coming to visit next October ❤️
