Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Just make sure you're not interrogating the text from the wrong perspective.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

a least she has the necessary vocabulary to come out with that. can you imagine say Dan Brown or (URGGH!) Stephanie Meyer being that articulate?

I think Dan Brown has probably written more books than he's read.
As for Stephenie (and yes, that is how she spells it) Meyer, well, rationalwiki's takedown is hilarious.

I think you could argue that Interview With The Vampire kicked off the "urban fantasy" genre as a whole. I definitely don't think we'd have had anything like Buffy without Anne Rice. RIP.

The Interview with a Vampire movie made impact on me when watched it. Hadn't had the chance to read her books, but i gave the feeling that she must be a good writer. Rip
