Dancing

It's worse than we predicted. I did a really loose sporking of it here while reading it, as that was the only way I could get through it. It is deadly dull.

There are many pages of suburban children learning ballet steps. There is no crimesolving, no action, and no sex, though there are many pages about Nathaniel being a stripper and some Unfortunate Implications regarding the kid Matthew. All the characters but Anita, Micah, and Nathaniel are human, and they could be replaced with full humans with no effect on the plot, such as it isn't. I do not know who LKH wrote this book for. Perhaps she is trying to alienate the last of her fans.

(I hope it's okay to post this here.)

I would love a chart/checklist that breaks down the different UF flaws found in ABVH, and a list of the most popular or as many other series as we can think of and mark which flaws they also contain. (The obsessive analytical side of me would also like in-text examples, at least one, so people can't say something was checked off on a whim.)
