While the Body Thief, cloaked in his immortal powers, lays a trail of carnage across America and the Caribbean, Lestat is abandoned to the long-forgotten clumsiness, the unassuageable hungers, the fragility of human life, to discover that a mortal body is no fit receptacle for a vampire's soul...

Rejected by the other vampires, a tormented and appallingly vulnerable Lestat is forced to seek human help to recover his vampire self; help he abuses unforgivably when, in a mesmerizing climax, he succumbs to the basest urge in any nature.
However it is still a gripping read that keeps the reader riveted to the pages trying to find out how Lestat reacts to his new body and how he then in a weakened human form goes on to try and get his old body back.

Rice does stumble in "Tales of the Body Thief," which seems like too flimsy a plot for Lestat and Co., has an unnecessary nun romance, and which has some very gross moments.
The Tale of the Body Thief - I really enjoyed this book, although it was probably my least favorite of the series, again out of what I've read so far.
This time he gets himself into a serious predicament when the body swapper does not want to return Lestat's immortal self, and he is forced to turn to a member of the Talamasca, David, who Lestat had bonded with.

 TIME.com: . . . And One With Vanity -- Nov. 23, 1992 -- Page 1
The mannered dress and behavior, the private recognitions and ironies, the tireless naughtiness, the forbidden seductions and ultimate sterility (vampires cannot breed, Rice assures us) are carried over unchanged to the vampire world.
We're absolutely convinced, for instance, that Rice's star, the blond, handsome vampire Lestat, is exactly the 200-year-old bloodsucker he claims to be.
Thus the plot: Lestat, in a male human body, charges about the world with his mortal friend David Talbot, trying to reclaim his vampire body.

For hilarity, there's Lestat in his borrowed human body dealing with the things he'd forgotten, especially the "potty" issues.
His short love story with Gretchen, a nun who nurses him back to health, is unexpectedly poignant and touching and their eventual reunion is heartbreaking.
