Lestat isn't consistent, though, at least not in the books before Blood and Gold (I have all books, just haven't felt like Anne Rice in years) ... I mean, he tries to only off evil-doers, but it's like really bad sex: He gets off but he doesn't get satisfied. It's when he kills an old innocent lady who reaches out and thinks he's an angel that he really feels ecstasy.
Also, Lestat is evil. In an innocent way that doesn't really mean the harm but he is. Which is personally why I love him.
Mmmm vampires... Have to agree to disagree with you there, alia. I have a huge thing for vampires. They aren't really dead, more like they used to be people and now they're demons / magical beings and don't need trivial stuff like body heat, breath and heartbeat.
Also, can you imagine their stamina?
