Blood Noir....Thoughts anyone????
Jun 9 2008, 8:50 AM EDT Hey Guys, I havent read blood noir yet (I am saving for my holiday next week!!) but just wondered what other peoples thoughts were, have spoken to a few people who have said that its not great and doesnt really move on at all. I will of course still read and will let you know my thoughts when I return from holiday but thought I would open a discussion for everyone to air there thoughts 3 out of 3 found this valuable.

Jun 9 2008, 11:10 AM EDT I really enjoyed it. The book did "move on", it was just not that significant, traumatic, engrossed, pick one. I think the main problem...the one that I had to...was that everyone was expecting a main course meal with this book and got an appetizer instead. I know this book was supposed to be character development with Jason and was going to be a short one, but I still wanted to know more and it kinda leaves you feeling short handed. But no worries, Laurell is working on the next one now and we should know more by next year. 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 11 2008, 12:10 PM EDT Okay, I loved it. It wasn't as bloody as most would have thought and so what, Its about Jason! but I thought that it was a good read. I was a little upset about haveing Jean-Claude only mentioned but what replaced that with Jason becoming ...... I better not say. But the humor and the affection that was shown in the book was not like any others. And Im glad that Anita is experamenting with Nathanal 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 13 2008, 7:33 PM EDT I have to say that I did enjoy, yes we did not much on very much in Anita's life, but that was not what this book was suppose to be about. I did find though that we never learned a lot about Jason, I just though there could have been more on him as it was his book.. What do others think on this.. I did like the development we had with the mother of all vampires though, I figure that will be interesting reading in the next book.. Liked also the fact that Anita has grown up a bit, when it comes to her feelings and admitting what she likes.. Also how she has changed towards Nathanial and JC!! Really can't wait for the next installment.. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I was also a little curious about the cover art. How come it wasn't a picture of another body or body part like the others have been? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 15 2008, 12:04 PM EDT "i think it should have been releast right to paperback i did not get my money"s worth!!!!!!"It was originally supposed to be a short novel like Micah but I think it only came out longer with all the soul searching Anita and Jason ended up doing. Though I do agree that it seemed a bit off cadence for LKH's usual style. But the one I want most is the next Anita Blake book. She's supposed to go back to Edward's. It's a follow-up of Obsidian Butterfly. I really like Edward and Peter. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Just wish the waiting time was shorter ha ha.. I also think Cookie Monster will come up more in the next book, as we were away from any setting he could have appeared in, during this book... 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Just wish the waiting time was shorter ha ha..Well the next one is off scene, too. Like I said, she's going back to New Mexico because it's another Edward one. LKH said that she was thinking of having to wait another book or two before she was able to do it but she thought of a good idea--a phone call from Edward--to get Anita out of St.Louis again so soon after Blood Noir. So I guess we might have to wait even longer to find out what happens with the lions and tigers. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 17 2008, 6:42 PM EDT "I think the wait at times can be torture"LOL yeah, its torture. I really want to know what Cookie Monster and Anita's plans are. I like Him better than Richard. Yeah, he may be a thug... but hey, thats what the tigers need right about now. And Anita needs a real back bone... -sorry richard- 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 17 2008, 7:10 PM EDT "Yeah, he may be a thug... but hey, thats what the tigers need right about now."I agree, but *cough* LIONS *cough* Um, as I've said before, I found the book disappointing because it was like the plots were just that. PlotS. There was the Jason plot, and then the Tiger and Mother of Darkness plot, and I just don't think they sat well together. It should have just stayed as a Jason novella. I'm just sick of seeing the same thing, J.C rolls over and lets her do what she wants:Anita gains more power: Anita sleeps with new people (although points are given because we didn't SEE it happen): People fall in love with Anita: Richard shows up and goes crazy: RIchard leaves: Anita shoots some people and ends up in hospital: Mother of Darkness is vaguely mentioned, but nothing major happens. I want something to happen with the Mother of Darkness. Its been dragged out for way too long! But hey, thats just me. Oh, also the disturbing lack of Asher in this book!!! 6 out of 6 found this valuable. Do you? |
