Then...the plot died and the gratuitous sex started up and it just got deathly dull and barely readable. So I can udnerstand people being upset. We were drawn in with these wonderful stories about a kickass woman, and then that woman ends up turning into a limp noodle. It's depressing.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02716785419172270884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115628743473451789.post-3647173128757015402006-03-09T09:15:00.000-08:002006-03-09T09:15:00.000-08:00Like Nicole, I liked the early Anita Blake novels....Like Nicole, I liked the early Anita Blake novels.

To often reviewers have apologized for Hamilton, given her good reviews on the strength of previous books, or been too cowardly to be honest. The last four published books in this series have been very poor indeed, filled with blatant spelling and grammatical errors, huge continuity issues, repetative phrasing and a lack of anything remotely resembling plot or decent characterization. <br><br>Hamilton has sold out, she now lives by her new husband's revelation that to be the best in a genre is to be able to shovel any old crud and get paid top dollar for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
