You can take the girl out of the city - Advantages: Some truly disturbing stuff in this one - as usual juxtaposed with scenes both refreshing and vibrant. The back-story is easier to digest for those picking this up before the others too... Disadvantages: If you've become used to the slick city beat normally walked by Ms. Blake and friends, the open air might spin your head a bit. Shouldn't think it will be a big adjustment though. You can take the girl out of the city... 'Bloody Bones' is the fifth of Laurell K. Hamilton's novels dealing with the life and times of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. Really, this review is part of a serial review of the series. While I won't be giving away any spoilers about this novel below, it's inevitable that I reveal some important information from the previous books - often stuff that served as the dramatic conclusions/revelations to those volumes. You have been warned… You thought ... ...taken a bizarre turn with her love life.

At some point she's going to have to make a choice, and the balance is tilting towards the werewolf. But if she chooses Richard, will Jean-Claude kill him?

A Novel to Test Your Endurance... Advantages: A lot of book for your money. Complex plotlines. Disadvantages: You'll need to read the prequel first. Not all that gripping. Title: Judas Unchained Author: Peter F. Hamilton Genre: Science Fiction Pages: 949 Format: Hardback Publisher: Macmillan 1st Edition: 2005 Price: £ 18.99 ISBN: 1-4050-0036-8 INTRODUCTION This is the second and concluding novel of the Commonwealth Saga that began with the novel Pandora's Star. If you haven't read Pandora's Star yet, then I would suggest you do not start reading this book. Unlike most multi-book series, the two books of the ... ...next is the subject of Judas Unchained. REVIEW Having read the rather thick Pandora's Star, I wanted to get my hands on Judas Unchained quickly before I had the chance to forget the story. Unfortunately I had to wait for a year before the hardback eventually made it on to the bookseller's shelves. With the 949 pages of Judas Unchained the Commonwealth Saga now spanned over 2300 pages, so it's not too difficult to understand why the decision was ... suddenend 02.02.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Judas Unchained - Peter F.

Salami at the ready … Advantages: More mature than some of the other books Disadvantages: Can be hard work at times The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (UK Paperback, book first published (UK) 1997, 244 pages) Note for all reviews: If the plot outline seems light this is intentional as I hate reading reviews that say "and the ending where …" :-) Not for the first time Jim's wife Angelina has disappeared and he is the only one who can get her back. Jim's investigations lead him to the 'Temple of Eternal Truth', a cult for rich people offering preview trips to ... ...one surreal event to another the stainless steel rat is back in his element. I would rate this book as a much more mature offering than most of the others with the usual anarchic rat antics within a far less predictable framework. This unpredictability borders on confusion at times although I am sure it is completely intentional. The book still retains the usual humour however it seems far drier than usual. One of the few concessions to the more ... awooga 06.03.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell - Harry Harrison	Would you read it again?

Merry's Stroke of Midnight Advantages: Meet new characters, more time spent in faerie, Once past the first few chapters a real good paced Disadvantages: The beginning is slow. ...Laurell K Hamilton is a best selling author who has appeared in the New York Times best sellers.

Following this she started the Anita Blake series and then onto the Merry Gentry series, which the book I'm reviewing is from. She now lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and daughter.
