Lover of Snark

[mulder200.livejournal.com]

Hello, new member here. I recently got myself roped into LKH by reading The Harlequin. I wrote a book review about on my own journal and needless to say was curious for more. That book was probably one of the most explicit mainstream porn books I have ever read. LOL! I mean I was just so fasicinated that she would spend so much time on sex.

So I started to read the books from the very beginning and I have to say that while Anita is one MAJOR bitch with mental problems and issues, the books were still good to read.

So anyway, I have to ask you follower snarkers: When was the moment the series Jumping The Shark?

BTW, was I the only one who kinda got the feeling that the author was trying to set the scene for Anita sleeping with Edward's adopted son?

Anita can't have sex with anyone for the first time without some sort of plot device. In that way, she's just like one of those so-called heroines from a bodice-ripper, in every other way she's like a male chauvinist pig.

I don't blame Richard one bit for his hatred of the two of them in BO. If it was a woman who was blackmailed, strung along for 7 months, betrayed at her most vulnerable moment after doing what the person she loved pushed her to do, then eternally, psychically chained to her blackmailer and betrayer, readers would find it unforgivable, not just expect her to play nice.

If LKH were writing Richard true to character, he wouldn't have agreed to keep Anita as lover or lupa after TKD. He would have found someone else to love. But no man is allowed to stop loving Anita no matter how crappily she treats them, and no other attractive single women are allowed in the Anitaverse for more than one book without being character-assassinated.
