Vampire movies and books are usually either pretty good or pretty corny. Personally Im not that big of a fan of the vampire genre unless its ass kicking lady vamps in Underworld.
I believe Interview with A Vampire does the genre some justice though. Anne Rice's take on the book is different compared to the modern Stephanie Meyers version of Vampire lit. Rice's book was very emotional, and there was an actual relationship between Louis, Lesat, and Claudia whether it was love or jealousy.
The most interesting part of this book to me was the character Claudia. She is five when she is bitten, so in essence she stays five forever. Yet she grows up and matures and has a hunger that she cannot satisfy so to speak.
The story actually has a great plot and emotional connection which I enjoy in a book. This novel really met the elements to a vampire novel.
