Summary: Good book and fast paced!
Review: This was the first book I've ever read from this author. It was very good and kepted me interested. I do have two complaints. One is that I wish that it was not done in 1st person. I like to know what other characters are thinking. And two what's with all the "shrugging". I've never met anyone who does this all the time. I kepted thinking she must never be tense because she shrugged on every bloody page! Other than those two minor complaints, it was a good book. On to The Laughing Corpse!

Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read!
Review: When I first picked up the book "Guilty Pleasures" I thought it was going to be about vampires jumping into eachothers beds. I'm so glad I picked it up anyways! It's on my top 5 favorite books now! I loved how Hamilton wrote the book! She really decribed the book, making me feel like I know the charactures. My favorite characture is defenitly Jean-Claude,the master vampire. I can't wait to read the next book! I can only hope the next book, (The Laughing Corpse), will be as good as the first.

Summary: The origonal and it couldn't be greater
Review: Who is Anita Blake? Only the toughest coolest chick who ever raised the dead. No introduction to the series could be better. Anita has a charm all her own and compliments it with dynomite dialoge. Phillip rules, but Jean Cluade is the dark under dog. A purely satisfying book that you can read through again and again, I have.

Summary: Amazingly funny!
Review: All of the Anita blake series are great. I found that I never could put it down. I have read them several times as well. These novels are great. Hopefully she will write more Anita Blake series.

Summary: A very addictive series; hang in 'til #3
Review: LKH's alternate history of the USA is imaginative, compelling and full of memorable characters and their preternatural (or not) quirks.

Summary: An intersting book.
Review: I first read "Lunatic Cafe", so I was kind of confused when laurell hamilton mentioned things that had happened in earlier books, such as nickolaus. So when I saw this book I got it, and I was not disappointed. A vampire strip club, that was really cool. I suggested it to my friends.

Summary: Good entertainment in a quick read.
Review: I am always looking for a quick, entertaining read and this book fit the bill. I also enjoy a series because once I get to know a charactor I like to read about them again and again. I have enjoyed all 8 books in this series. I love the fact that her monsters are not the run of the mill monsters with all the same monster rules. Although she has not yet reached the Stephen King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker heights, for quick, light, entertaining, and often funny horror she's really quite good. I look forward to the ninth book in this series.

Summary: Highly enjoyable reading that can suck you in
Review: This is not a novel that will be a classic in the sense of the great works. Regardless, it is highly enjoyable reading that is a pleasure. Imaginative in setting and characters, it is a different book that can incite the imagination.Ms. Hamilton really seemed to do her homework here, taking a premise and exploring it to logical extents as she examines the intergration of the supernatural into the mundane. Whether it's a club of strippers catering to vampire-philes or religion's reactions to these dark forces they all make sense. Ms. Hamilton seems to write a bit tongue in cheek, serious at times but also not afraid to side-step convention and let the world know how the heroine feels about a situation. Many good lines exist and you can identify with Anita Blake as a hero battling overwhelming odds. That she can retain a strong if sarcastic and dark sense off humor is a bonus. You can finish the novel in a night (I did) and come back for more on the basis of the characters. Perhaps that is a good meter by which to judge an author and her work.

Summary: OH Yes
Review: Anita Blake is a very thought out and real character. Not to mention very likable. I was upset when I hit the last page. Because there was no more and I would have to wait to get the next in the series. A sign of a good book I think.

Summary: 3 hours of my life I'll never have back
Review: Oh, my what a waste of time. I loved Sonia Blue, and tried this because it seemed there was extensive cross-pollinization between that reader group and this one. So I gave it a shot, and was rewarded with plastic characters, a transparent plot, and uninspired writing. I give it two stars because it did keep me interested until the end, mainly to see if it would get any better and because I do enjoy the genre. Just not this telling of it.
