Lestat speaks. Vampire-hero, enchanter, seducer of mortals. For centuries he has been a courted prince in the dark and flourishing universe of the living dead. Lestat is alone. And suddenly all his vampire rationale--everything he has come to believe and feel safe with--is called into question. In his overwhelming need to destroy his doubts and his loneliness, Lestat embarks on the most dangerous enterprise he has undertaken in all the danger-haunted years of his long existence.
The Tale of the Body Thief is told with the unique--and mesmerizing--passion, power, color, and invention that distinguish the novels of Anne Rice.
From the Hardcover edition. Beautiful, Salatious, and Intoxicating | Customer Rating: | 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. | If you like reading Anne Rice do not buy this book | Customer Rating: | | I loved the first 2 in the series, got to this one and it was pure torture. i consider myself a fast reader, i can finish a book in about 3 days. This one took me over 2 years to finish reading. I would read a few pages then decide to read somthin eelse. run out of books and go back to it.

Lestat, ever the angsty immortal, recieves an intriguing proposition from Raglan James, a con man who offers to switch bodies.
Lestat, who seldom looks before he leaps, gets in over his head once again. Despite many warning signs that there is more to Raglan's offer than meets the eye, Lestat agrees to the body switch and has mixed feelings about his recaptured humanity. He finds that being human is not exactly the way he remembers it. He keeps thinking, "Only a few more hours to go until I can get my body back." Unfortunately, Raglan has no intention of returning Lestat's body.
