My favorite of the series!
In this book, you get to learn of Lestat's past, and how he became a vampire. The writing style of this series (the first 3 anyway), is what makes them my favorite vampire novels.

America votes, how a president is elected
This book came to me in the condition listed, but what I didn't realize was that the book was much more wordy then I had hoped. I will pass it onto my daughter who teaches 2nd grade because for my PreK students it won't work.
