I loved the Anne Rice books and the film. But just couldn't get my head round the series. It wasn't the homosexual scenes or the fact that Louis wasn't a clone of Brad Pitt, but I found the modernization a bit difficult to enjoy. It didn't feel dark and gothic. I know the TV series is 'based ' on the book, but to be honest I barely saw anything that featured in the book. My daughter really enjoyed it but there again she's never read Interview With A Vampire and got fed up of me saying..."that wasn't in the book!"

I've just finished this book (reading since just after Christmas) Personally I didn't enjoy it at all. Having previously binge read the other Strike books and throughly enjoyed them, I was very disappointed with The Ink Black Heart. There's far to many characters, Strikes stump is mentioned to much, there's far to much unnecessary swearing(I don't know whether JK thinks folk swear all the time or what!) and as for the 'gaming' conversations I ended up skipping most of them. I most certainly won't be rushing out to buy the next one!
