interview with a a vampire

This is a very original vampire tale. Most vampire tales we are given talk about the main character being viscous or now very whinny. But in interview with a vampire. The story is about learning how the road of immortality is a very lonely one and how it is meant to be traveled alone. And all the while Lest-at is explaining it to the kid who just so in love with the idea of being immortal that he cannot hear the message. The story is a really powerful one to have the focus being about alone is a difficult one. As human beings we are whole heartedly afraid of being alone and even more to die alone. And this fantastical idea of immortality and how you would never be plagued by those things. But then to have stripped away by the fact that it would only be worse, is truly frightening. The story was a great read I was interested the entire time, and I wanted more, never being satisfied just like a vampire. The really focuses around immortality, it is the main subject in this book. And this is the first time we are lead to believe it's not what it's cracked out to be. We hve this illusion that if your immortal nothing matters if somone died there would be someone else to take their place. And that you can also be bad you know. Everyone who is not immortal is just a tool to feed you. But thats not the case. After a while you begin to envy mortals because they can die, and that even though they dont have very long they did enjoy life very much. And it ws a sad lesson for Lest-at to learn. He has spent hundreds of years traveling around with one person or another and he always loses them in the end and there is disagreement and at the end he has to face the bitter truth that he will always be alone.
