It's not my favorite of the series. Well written, though, and has a good plot. ( )

Por fin terminé de leer "El Ladrón de Cuerpos", la verdad es que no me resultó tan adictivo como sus tres predecesores, creo que ahondó demasiado en monólogos en los que Lestat se repetía lo mismo una y otra vez, que se ma y se desprecia.
me tomó mucho tiempo terminarlo porque me pareció tedioso, aunque a su favor, Anne Rice tiene un excelente estilo que hace la lectura en si una delicia.
A final de cuentas, Lestat sigue siendo Lestat, sigue peleando con Louis y haciendo lo que le da la gana.
Me encantó la idea de Claudia como su conciencia. ( )

One of my favorite Anne Rices. I think her interestingness peaked in this book, and the two Lestat books on either side of it - The Vampire Lestat and Memnoch the Devil. Before that she was too straightforward, and after that too weird, but this hits the sweet spot in between. Lestat, always craving the new experience, trades bodies with a mortal. Unfortunately, when the time is up, the mortal doesn't want to give his body back. ( )

This is book four of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles. Lestat exchanges his soul with a body snatcher named Raglan James and celebrates being human again, but quickly tires of it. He then hunts James to take back his vampire soul. I consider this 2nd to the best of the first four of her vampire chronicles to my mind. ( )

What a brilliant and entertaining book! The Vampire Lestat is faced with the opportunity to become mortal again by trading bodies with a Thief. Will he ever get it back?
After several tales set predominantly in the past, this new volume of the vampire chronicles is completely of the moment. Such a fascinating plot! What if a vampire could become human again? Would he want to remain so? What is it like for someone who has been free of all mortal necessities for such a long period of time to suddenly have to deal with bowel movements and shaving? And to have this happen to Lestat! Truly one of the best fictional characters I’ve ever encountered. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0345419634, Paperback)

It's been said that Vladimir Nabokov's best novels are the ones he wrote after starting a failed novel. Anne Rice wrote The Body Thief, the fourth thrilling episode of her Vampire Chronicles, right after she spent a long time poring over that most romantic of horror novels, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, to research a novel Rice abandoned about an artificial man. Perhaps as a result of Shelley's influence, The Body Thief is far more psychologically penetrating than its predecessors, with a laser-like focus on a single tormented soul. Oh, we meet some wild new characters, and Rice's toothsome vampire-hero Lestat zooms around the globe--as is his magical habit--from Miami to the Gobi desert, but he's in such despair that he trades his immortal body to a con man named Raglan James, who offers him in return two days of strictly mortal bliss.

Lestat has always had a faulty impulse-control valve, and it gets him in truly intriguing trouble this time. On the plus side, he gets to experience romance with a nun and orange juice--"thick like blood, but full of sweetness." But Lestat is horrified by an uncommon cold, and his toilet training proves traumatic. He's also got to catch Raglan James, who has no intention of giving up his dishonestly acquired new superpowered body. Lestat enlists the help of David Talbot, a mortal in the Talamasca, a secret society of immortal watchers described in Queen of the Damned.

The swapping of bodies and supernatural stories is choice, and there's even a moral: never give a bloodsucker an even break. --Tim Appelo
