The first 10 books are filled with mystery and intrigue. Maybe at the end of the series, you're going to come out, see what's left over in the stall and proudly proclaim: Maybe a brilliant struggle for life and death is happening but you just can't see it. The thing is, at first you're wary to because maybe something else is going on. Suddenly they start to struggle and you want to be encouraging, or you want to tell them to give up, take a laxative and come back later. You're sitting in the next stall with someone who, nine or so books ago you thought was really nice and normal. Well, that's what reading Anita Blake is like. "That's right! Show that turd who's boss!" The Texan guy, thinking that Austin is taking a crap, decides to pitch in and give encouragement to someone who is obviously struggling. He hears Austin Powers grunting as he fights the guy, saying, "Who does Number 2 work for?" Kind of like that scene out of Austin Powers where Austin's in the bathroom stall with a bad guy and a big Texan man is in the next stall and can only see Austin's feet. It's not a finished series and usually I would reserve judgment on a series until it comes to its conclusion just in case the author was going somewhere I wasn't expecting. Okay, so some of the girls asked that I do a review of the Anita Blake series because I mentioned some things that intrigued them.
