  • I have deep, terrible feelings for that movie even though I know it’s objectively bad, lol. I absolutely loved the book, though.

    I always thought one of the flaws of the movie was getting Jonathan Davis to do all the singing for Lestat. Lestat was supposed to have this ethereal changing voice, and in my opinion, they should’ve had the music from the soundtrack play for his singing instead to represent that. But I absolutely love the soundtrack, so… lol.



  • While I agree with most of that, I found myself enjoying the book more than the movie, but it’s probably because I read the book first. I didn’t care about the 80s Ppop culture stuff, but I thought the idea of the Oasis was pretty cool. Now, if you want a really, really bad book, read the sequel. It’s definitely worse! Wade still learns nothing and turns out to be a total creep. And they assassinate Halliday’s character, too, making him out to be a total creep as well. And if I remember correctly, it’s just as preachy, too.










  • I think it depends on the books. Like Neiderman doing all those books under V.C. Andrews’ name. I don’t particularly like his work but other people seem to because he’s still writing them. Sue Grafton passed before she could finish writing the last Kinsey Milhone book and I’m not sure it would’ve been the same if someone else had finished it.
