This is, IMHO, the main reason why most readers keep coming back for more, many of them, myself included, waiting anxiously for the release of the next book in the series. In interviews he sometimes does say that he hates Harry, but he says this with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. You see, he's joking!! He loves making people laugh.

There has been a misunderstanding. I know that Jim loves his character Harry. If he didn't he wouldn't have written so many books about him. And as an author it is his job to put his character into impossible situations and then get him out again. It is what makes him such a good writer and why I cannot wait to read Skin Games.
My comment was more about Jim making Harry work with the nickleheads. How sadistic is that? But I am sadistic too because I want to read the book even more now that I know this is the plot line. I do not need any more details than that. December cannot get here fast enough.
