Anyway, I loved all other 12 books but GS was just the worst. In the words of Amadeus' emperor, Joseph II,
'too many notes'.. In this case, too many words. and that MOLLY 'imagination' scene was silly.
I believe the audio book was poorly done...cutting off in the middle of the sentences and the last CD seemed to just end. I no longer have the printed book, so I can't compare.
I am not really looking forward to the rest of Butcher's works. This one just left a bad taste...

Sorry, Spacechik!
I am about to start Ghost Story for the second time. I enjoyed it before, but maybe this time I will notice the "flaws" you point out. I know my husband didn't like it as much as the others, either, but he didn't like the whole premise.
Once he got past that he thought it was okay.
There are so many wonderful books and authors out there -- thank goodness no one is forcing us (outside of school, and maybe book clubs!
) to read anything we don't like!
