So what's the plot of this book? As soon as it seems to be getting one, it veers off, usually into something about Quinn's gross and exploitative sex life.

I DON'T KNOW ostensibly it's supposed to be him explaining to Lestat what the deal with Goblin is and how Quinn came to be a vampire, but it's so long and rambly and tangenty and it just...doesn't seem like how a person would actually explain it? This worked in Interview because Louis very deliberately wanted to give his entire life story to a reporter for the purpose of publishing and getting it off his chest because he's weary and sad, so like...it makes sense there. And is also covering CENTURIES. This is, I just...this is more a situation where being succinct and to the point would make more sense for what he's doing AND frankly be a better read.

Silly mental image of the day: Lestat has pulled a yoyo out of one of his pockets (one that's ridiculously expensive and fancy, natch) and is sat doing tricks with it while Quinn yammers on. Quinn hasn't noticed.

It reads like the longest RPG character background ever written. All we need now is for him to be a half-dragon too.
