I really don't. I mean, I have Harlan Ellison, Tom Knowles, and Umberto Eco waiting for me at home. Why would I want to dilute their awesome prose with something involving Satan and cock rings and Christmas?
Everytime I hear about these books, I get more and more afraid. I think it's because my ability to process the "WTF?" is exceeded with each new detail, so I need adjustment perids. Or something.
(A thousand year old prostitute warlord in love with a seven year old? Seriously?)
You realize, I hope, that after reading this coment, I went exploring your books tag looking for a post and did not find one. (Probably missed, will look more carefully if I'm on the internet computer at work. Though, you read D.Gray-Man? Did not know that. And tried the Return to Labyrinth manga? I wonder if you got further in it than I did.)
I remember borrowing that from someone on vacation just because I was bored and needed something to read. I couldn't get through it, but perhaps I should borrow it sometime for the insanity.
Though it's pretty impressive that her crack rivals Kaori Yuki.
O.O You know, I'd stayed away from Anne Bishop because someone whose good literary judgment I respect said Bishop's writing sucked. Nothing was said about the details.
And now, reading this review, I'm glad I've taken that advice.
On the bright side, if THIS can get published, getting some of my ideas on the printed page should be a snap. I mean...
"Expedition sets off to a part of their planet previously sealed off by a magic barrier, and discovers that they've landed in a jungle hellhole with several extremely nasty species of predators. They also discover that by simply landing there, they've become embroiled in a nasty, vicious tribal conflict between several groups of local humans and the somewhat more unified local non-humans*. And they're stuck in this mess for at least three months."
*Barely humanoid, really, since they're about eight feet tall with pointy ears, skinny snouts, hooves, total body fur, and no knees.
...is not nearly as bizarre as that so-called plot.

ETA: Bishop basically took a packing knife, ripped open her id, and let it bleed out all over the page. For three novels.

I haven't picked up D. Gray-man since volume 6. I got one chapter into Return to Labyrinth and couldn't go any farther. XD
