Hamilton's back as a decent writer again (Dracschick's review of "The Harlequin")

Hi all,

So, OK, I slept a lot and, in truth was all set to do some writing until the mail came. And the new Hamilton book was delivered. And yeah, day was shot after that. Or rather it wasn’t but my eyes are now because I’ve been reading non-stop.

I didn't know you wrote book reviews.

You do a dammed good job I think and I enjoyed reading this!

I'm a Hamilton fan....though not obsessivly LOL...and thought you were SPOT on with your comments here.

Thanks so much for your kind words and........ dracschick June 10 2007, 02:06:39 UTC

thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I try to do a little of everything here in my LJ (review, short stories, fun ebay items, etc., etc ( ... )

I was on the fence about buying "The Harlequin" because the last few novels were, well ... yeah. But after reading this, I think I'm gonna give it a go. I'd love to see LKH go back to Anita's roots (IMO, Guilty Pleasures through Obsidian Butterfly were the best books). I haven't even been able to finishe "Danse" yet, but knowing that the new one is better, I'll have to get through it.

Thank you sooo much for posting this, you helped me out a bunch! :)

you're welcome and enjoy......... dracschick June 10 2007, 02:37:53 UTC

Novel is very trademark Hamilton novel. Which is a good thing since I do like her universe:)

Re: you're welcome and enjoy......... night_is_fallen June 10 2007, 02:39:20 UTC

Me too. I really really like Anita and all the stuff that happens in her life, which is the reason I hadn't given up on the books yet. I don't think I could ... not without knowing how everything all worked out.

I'm very glad she's back on an upswing, though! :D

Incubus Dreams was the worst IMO. With Danse, she's starting to 'recover'. I like the ending. You should finish it:)

After the dead-baby scene in Laughing Corpse, I just couldn't bring myself to pick up another of her books...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree....... dracschick June 10 2007, 23:10:32 UTC

when Hamilton's good, she's a really, really good writer:)
