  1. I am struggling with Udolpho butr not because i am not enjoying rather like swimming through custard, hardwork but enjoyable. I think it is because it is what i think of as a winter book, redaing it curled up with a nice glass of red wine, fire roaring and which ever pet i can bribe to snuggle with me
  2. I enjoyed the Anita Blake books more and i found them better written too. However, both series of books are what i call hangover books which you can just read and enjoy without too much thought but you can use your imagination. I describe them as being the Jackie Collins of the horror / fantasy world.
