Soooo I hadn't realized that there were Anita Blake graphic novels! I am, of course, a pretty avid reader of the series. I have read up to like, book 10 or so. So when I saw these at my local library, I had to give a couple a try, not really being able to tell which books were which number (I was in a hurry). Well, I read this one first and it it not book 1. Well, that's ok. Fortunately I've read the actual books so I pretty much knew what was going on.

The illustrations are pretty good. I enjoyed not having to hear so many detailed descriptions of Anita's guns and toy penguins and her being short and Jean Claude's satin shirts. Rather, it was fun to actually see these things in stead. Plus, of course, actually see these characters in stead. Apparently we haven't met Richard yet? Or is Richard a cut in the graphic novels? I can't remember. Maybe its just strictly rats so far. Hmm. Guess we'll see.

So while the gn wasn't life changing, it was pretty good. I'll read another 1 or 2 more, we'll see how it goes. I'm not sure how many there are. Eventually the books turn into so much sex that I'm sure they have to stop illustrating or break off into their own story so...we'll see what happens!
