I notice th...I gave up on Cornwell a long time ago. I notice that she seems to have a deep, unrelenting bigotry towards fat people. Her serial killers and child rapists are more sympathatic then her fat characters. Especially fat women. She makes us all look like we're unwashed psychos. I happen to be very paticular about my hygiene and I may have a bad temper, but I'm no psycho. Seriously, I think she needs to be locked in a room with a bunch of fat women to see that we're human beings and she needs to do a better job portraying us.<br>Plus have you noticed that everyone ages but Kay? She's still in her 40s with "amazing breasts." Honestly, unless Kay has discovered the fountain of youth or an amazing plastic surgeon she should be sagging and bagging by now.JamiSingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-14180189958284565242008-07-03T11:15:00.000-07:002008-07-03T11:15:00.000-07:00Ana: Well it didn't suck - but yeah, it pretty...<b>Ana:</b> Well it didn't suck - but yeah, it pretty much follows the pattern of the last several books. <br><br><b>Janicu:</b> I thought this was an improvement over some of her other, more recent, entries in the series. But all those 5-stars and 1-stars baffle me. It just wasn't a book that generated that kind of passion (good or bad!) for me.<br><br><b>Nikki:</b> Be very glad you don't know what I'm talking about with Marino. Cornwell morphed him into a lovesick puppy with no balls in the later books. I still listen to Grafton on audio (she's got a great narrator!), but still haven't listened to the latest one....T Is For Trespass. It got really good reviews in the professional journals, but I haven't been following reader reaction.<br><br><b>Jessica:</b> Which is why I never started on LKH. I've heard the early books are really good, but I don't want to get sucked into another series that goes downhill!<br><br><b>Bev:</b> Yeah, that's my other issue - Cornwell is notorious for recycling her plots! Kay has become The Victim. Girlfriend has more people "out to get her" and a longer enemies list than Richard Nixon.

But not because I hated it. Nope, I just plain lost track of which books I had already read. To make matters worse, the blurbs for her books are so generic that they all sound similar and aren't much help figuring out what I have and have not read.Bev(QB)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03571585694956752892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-83734725239785761992008-07-02T19:09:00.000-07:002008-07-02T19:09:00.000-07:00That's how I feel about Laurell K Hamilton.

That doesn't mean I have quit reading mysteries altogether, just that Cornwell and Grafton no longer make it into my cart or on my library card.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04889835236361582323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-30559702316244318072008-07-02T13:02:00.000-07:002008-07-02T13:02:00.000-07:00Heh, the dark underbelly of the library system!

Interesting to see the star distribution for this book in Amazon - Almost half 5 stars, but then almost 40% only 1 star! *strokes chin*.Janicuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17680150271398341576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-59920505645341678402008-07-02T12:58:00.000-07:002008-07-02T12:58:00.000-07:00Ouch I guess this means it's not in this book ...Ouch I guess this means it's not in this book that she gets back on track and get a good Kay Scarpetta story uh?
