LKH's Bullet began with promise. A contract on Jean-Claude, Anita and Richard. An attempt on Richard's life. And then the plot slid into a meandering mire. The last third of the novel bored me.
I was turning pages, thinking, "Yeah, so Anita had sex with this one, then that one, then this one." Yawn. It felt stale.
The fantasy world LKH created holds attraction. The imagination can play with its concept. Jean-Claude teases private fantasy. But Anita is increasingly annoying.
Imagine living with Anita Blake.
But I do have a katana.
