I have it, but I haven't read it yet. I've heard others say the same thing, though.

I have not bought, borrowed nor even ogled anything she wrote after she started the great "Church as a publicity stunt" thing. I'm not religious, but I found the whole thing to be offensive. Not. Cool. At. All. By saying some of the things she said when it started, she totally crapped on a lot of her long-time fans. Then when her "new" audience didn't pan out, she basically threw the Church under the bus. I refuse to reward that behavior. If I ever get the VC/MW books in e-format, I guarantee it won't be an aboveboard acquisition. (Besides, I've already bought several of them more than once.)
I still love the Vampires and Mayfairs, but as far as I'm concerned, she's not the same person who wrote those books.
