CN: Anita Blake book, pregnancy

So someone whom I think (hope) must not have actually read the Anita Blake books decided to defend them: http://lkh-lashouts.livejournal.com/592503.html. I love the accusation of prudishness especially. It amuses me. Now, I consider "prude" to be one of the worst insults there is because I think it's one of the worst things to be, but the accusation is so incredibly wrong, it gives me the giggles.

Danse Macabre does too, though for different reasons. As offensive as LKH's books are, the goofily terrible and terribly goofy way they're written is almost a saving grace. It makes me sometimes suspect LKH is trolling us all. Consider the first paragraph of Chapter 6, during which Thea is forcing a kiss on Anita:

( This chapter was really difficult )

CN: Anita Blake book, jealousy, bad French, inhospitality


The Three Stooges and Graham go inside, where another bodyguard, Clay, is looking worried. Graham deploys his "mantle of bodyguardness." And there's this:

Clay shook his head. "Jean-Claude isn't with you?" His tone of voice made it a half question. (31)

Why is that only a half question? It sounds like a complete question to me.

( This is a short chapter )

Danse Macabre is a terrible book, but so far it's terrible in enough entertaining ways to be actually fun to read. It's a totally different experience from slogging through Twilight.
