"This interview with Louise de Vilmorin on the Earrings of Madame de . . . DVD is very funny. She is already mesmerizing and charming and unlike anybody you’ve ever met—and then she starts talking about the movie. She hated it, in fact? Max Ophuls made a perfect film."

Would make Lestat turn in his coffin
A totally different type of Vampire film to The interview with the Vampire. It uses the same character Lestat from the first, who now awakes in current times, and decides to become a rock star....much to the anger of many other Vampires. It was an ok film, pity it didn't have a better story, or bigger budget. The effects are ok, the most enjoyable part was learning some history of Lestat's character. Overall not bad if you like Vampire films but a poor follow on from the first film.

"There is something George Saunders said in an interview that I re-read many times while writing my novel. It’s too long for here but basically: characters don’t have to be articulate to be full human beings. He does this so well and I plan on doing it well"

I'm reading Daisy Jones and The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which will be released next year. It 's a "retrospective" about a fictional band from the 1970s and is written in interview style about the band's creation, rise, and the night that changed them forever. It reads like an interview in Rolling Stone. I love the author's writing style. She brings the characters and stories to life! I'm only up to the chapter about their first European tour and can't wait to read more. It's sooooo good!

Full disclosure, I received a promotional advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review. That said, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it. I think you'll love it, too.

Interesting concept. Its like a fantasy novel for children. Historical references were neat. Read an interview with the author and he used the pictures to build the story around them. Thus, they fit into the story perfectly. At times, they seemed forced upon the story though. Kept my attention and was pretty light reading. The movie version will be interesting also.
  
I reaceived this copy of And How Are You, Dr. Sacks from Farrar, Straus and Giroux through Netgalley.

The quickest way I can describe this book is an interview and a friendship that spanned over 30 years.

Weschler's affection for Sacks shines through but somehow manages not to come off as a kiss-up.

Chock with fascinating interviews this book is a must read for Sacks fans.
