Eliza ♡'s Reviews > Interview with the Vampire

I am disturbed by the ever present air of pedophilia hanging over each passage where Claudia is mentioned. Like genuinely why is this book so well rated and why in any of the reviews I read did I see no mention of this? Literally even the scene where she is turned uses phrases like "I wanted her." Then as you get further into it, and she starts to grow mentally, he begins to describe how like sensual she is and it was disgusting. "Father and daughter, lover and lover." "I was estranged from her and in agony as if she were my bride." "'Kill with me tonight,' she whispered as sensually as a lover."

And while I do enjoy the TV adaptation, I am kind of shocked at the way it painted Louis in a much kinder light, even making him a black man who specifically calls Lestat out on racism while in the book he is a plantation owner who is horribly racist himself.

All in all.... Anne Rice what the fuck....🤢
