Book Reviews of The Harlequin (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter)
Book Review: Don't bother reading this LAZY AUTHOR!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wrote one review for this book but I don't think I successfully got the review inserted correctly...--and I feel so strongly about this review, because this book was so terrible I want readers to be warned .
SAVE your MONEY!! Don't waste it on this book, it is dreadful, trashy, obscene, gross...garbage storytelling.
Do read the first several books in this series but it is downhill from there. I read the first four books in this series and the heroine in the series, Anita Baker is a tough, savvy, independent, intelligent feminist Vampire Executioner--- this book is the 14th or 15th in the series and was just polar opposites in camparison to the heroine in the start of this series.
The heroine in this book is a whore to the vampires, werewolfs, wererats, 20 year old stripper boyfriend who is into S & M etc. she has the heroine living with two of her boyfriends--the author has made the heroine into a sex junky fool. She has the heroine screwing them all --the author has turned this promising heroine into a, porn, energizer-whore-bunny. And what I think is so funny, I think that the author took her personal physical characteristics and created the heroine Anita Blake to resemble herself--(look at early covers of Circus of the Damned and then look at the backcover photo of the author on this book note the likenss to herself)...so maybe this is Ms. Hamilton's twisted, sick fantasies in print but Ms. Hamilton spare the public please and readers save your money.
It is dreadful writing--if I could give this book no stars for a rating then that is what I would choose...or a 1/4 of a star just for accomplishing spelling.
The author needs to quit writing this series as she has lost her 'voice' in this series --what was a promising, satisfying series is now a gross, porn-slop story with no vision.
I will not be reading anymore in this series, my time is more valueable to waste reading a writer who is lazy --she wants to get a book publish and make a quick profit.
Happily, I did not purchase this book I got it from the library.
