Interview With a Vampire was OK... but I couldn't get past Tom Cruise being Lestat.
I liked the book too much to be able to set aside my mental picture of Lestat in favor of..... Tom Cruise.
Gotta say that Kirsten Dunst did an outstanding job as Claudia.
If you watch a few vampire movies and like them... consider reading Anne Rice's first 3-4 vampire novels (Interview with the Vampire, the Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the Damned are the first three).
I think that there were much better choices out there, however, I was pleasantly surprised by Tom Cruise's Lestat. I had read all three of the original Vampire Chronicles at that point, so I did not let Cruise and Pitt change the images I already had of their characters.
