book vs movie

I was disappointed with the book and the movie both, but the movie was wretched. The book felt very much like Anne Rice was under deadline to finish and so she did, but did not deliver the quality and depth to the work that she had with her previous books (and not just in this series). Anne Rice possesses the abiltiy to provide a compelling story with stimulation subplots peppered with enough history to develop the characters believeably. Her work is usually full of so much detail that you can feel the texture of the setee on which Lestat might sit. This last in the series failed to meet that expectation.
