Book Reviews of Bloody Bones (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter)
Book Review: Good, good, good!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a good continuance of the series, and has as much blood and gore as any other Anita Blake novel, but I still have to conciede that BLOODY BONES is not as exceptional as LUNATIC CAFE. It is not to say that the book is not interesting. Anita is in her element, being hip-dip in alligators. As an unlikely mentor to the Lawrence (call me Larry) animator in training and supernatural specialist, she is quite superb. Her personal life is also, shall we say, rather unusual. (Maybe she does have a thing for monsters.) Still, I have to hope for more intrigue and dry humor in the next Anita Blake book. Long live Anita!Book Review: A vicious vampire plot
Summary: 5 Stars
Anita Blake is my kind of vampire slayer-hunter. I love vampire books of all kinds, this one though is different. Anita can stick up for herself, thats what makes these books so much more readable than the "oh-no the heroine has fallen, the vamp is gaining on her ahh!"type of book. I havent yet read any of the other Anita books, infact I just discovered this one. I cant wait to read the rest.Book Review: Not the Best Anita Blake, but still a comer...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've not read any of the Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, you should read them in the order in which they're published, as various plot twists could become very difficult to follow if you read Bloody Bones first. In any event, this series is an absolute hoot in the Horror/Sci-Fantasy/Vampire genre. Anita Blake, animator, is also a licensed vampire killer; except now Vamps have all legal rights of any citizen under the Consitution. Anita, petite and HIGHLY deceptive, is also officially attached to RPIT - the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team of the local police force. The outstanding feature of the Anita Blake books (which is slightly missing in Bloody Bones - hence my rating of a 9 instead of a 10) is the relentless humor which leavens and lightens the darkness of the situations in which she finds herself - both verbal and situational twists which are highly amusing. I thought that Bloody Bones was a very good continuation of the series, although, again, I would prefer that Ms. Hamilton allow the wry humor that so set her previous works apart to reappear; but this won't stop me from ordering her next one! I highly recommend any of the Anita Blake books to anyone who enjoys the genre and has a sense of humor.Book Review: Anything about Anita Blake is bound to be worth reading.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Anita Blake series in general is a break from the norm of - well, to be honest, of any type of books I've ever read. This book is not as good as the others so far, but its certainly one of the most interesting books to come along in a while. In this book Anita, a necromancer who raises the dead for a living, goes to Missouri to do a job and quickly runs into all kinds of trouble with faries, werewolves, and vampires.Book Review: Anita keeps evolving...
Summary: 5 Stars
Anita keeps getting better and better. Her character is evolving into something wonderful, and you can't see what yet. You gotta keep reading just to see where her story will take her!
