Laurell K. Hamilton - The Laughing Corpse

Pros: powerful and chilling, characters, fun read
Cons: bloody, gory, messy

The Laughing Corpse is the second book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. I happen to love this series and re-read it almost every year. For some reason it never seems to get old and I still chuckle at the antics of the female heroine. ...

Pros: Smart and strong female heroine
Cons: Some exceptionally gory passages, enough to turn my stomach

Well, two books in to the series I entered with such trepidation and I suppose you can now call me a convert. I enjoyed The Laughing Corpse as much as I did Guilty Pleasures. I have now joined the ranks of all the people reading ...

Pros: Fun read, interesting characters, intriguing plot.
Cons: Overly gory at times.

Anita Blake is back, and as usual, she’s knee deep in trouble. Not content merely to hunt vampires, ...

Pros: The plot's still relatively fresh
Cons: Pretty darn weird

As a short recap, I had previously read < b>Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton, the author that started a series based on a vampire-slaying heroine named Anita Blake. Anita isn’t your average human. She ...

Pros: Anita and Jean-Claude, good plot
Cons: None--could be considered too gory for some readers

The Anita Blake series is the best supernatural series written because it deals with more than Vampires (although they tend to play a major role in most of the novels). It also deals with shapeshifters(they are more prominent in the later books) and of...

Pros: witty, entertaining, fascinating crimes and supernatural creatures
Cons: gruesome scenes of graphic violence

"If it was, there would be a hell of a population drop." Anita Blake is the official Vampire Executioner for the state of Missouri. She is also the Preternatural Expert for the local team of law enforcement that deals with all cases where a non-human ...

Pros: Original, action-packed, character-driven. Too many superlatives to fit here.
Cons: For a book with the word "vampire" in the title, vampires seem almost an afterthought.

The Laughing Corpse is the second book in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. If you're not familiar with the series, it's okay to start with this book. While clearly a sequel, The Laughing Corpse does a good job of standing on its own. ...

Pros: Funny, fast-paced, sometimes dark, interesting characters
Cons: Fluff

The Laughing Corpse is the second book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It is as entertaining and as amusing as the first one, filled with even more action, and without the first thirty-or-so pages of author-finding-her-rhythm ...

Pros: More Anita.
Cons: I prefer the vampire slayer, to the zombie raiser.

I'd like to tell you about the new girl in my life. Her name is Anita Blake. She's 5'3", slender, with long black curls, and eyes so dark you'd swear they were black. Just a cute little wisp of a thing. Well, looks can be deceiving. I try real...

Pros: Intriguing plot, strong characters, witty writing style with a (sometimes dark) sense of humor
Cons: Quite gory at times

The Laughing Corpse is the 2nd book in the Anita Blake series. It re-introduces many favorite characters from Guilty Pleasures, such as Anita, Jean-Claude and Zebrowski. It is not necessary to have read the first book, although it would help the reader ...
