Reader Review: Anita Blake is an Animator. Anita and co. raise the dead to settle will disputes and the like, for a reasonable fee. On the side Anita is a vampire hunter -- she's been nicknamed 'the Executioner' and (obviously) isn't too keen on vampires. The new master of the city is very interested in her, much to Anita's chagrin, and is keen to make her his human servant. Anita is all set to solve another case while she's on retainer to the police. Someone or something managed to consume a number of victims in one place... nice. Anita being the freak expert is called in to offer her expertise. The scenes are gory (as usual) and there was some great stuff with her and her police friends. There are also a few other plot threads that all converge one another pretty well. This books arc took a while for me to get into, but around halfway through I ended up really enjoying it. The Laughing Corpse wasn't quite as good as the first book, as it lacked the emotional bitter sweetness that pervaded Guilty Pleasures. Many of the characters introduced in the previous book are back here too, except, disappointingly, Edward although I'm not sure how he would have fitted in here anyway. Anita continues to be tough minded and mildly sympathetic to those that deserve it. We learn a little more about her powers and the root of what Animators can do -- I thought Dominga wasn't the most interesting of antagonists but she served her purpose well.
Animator and vampire hunter Anita Blake is about to discover that some secrets are better left buried-and some people better off dead...

This book is really good, but you have to be prepa

This book is really good, but you have to be prepared for some rather gruesome scenes. It's mainly about Anita's job (raising zombies). I think it fits the series and it has a lot of black humour. Anita has quite radical views, but that's what these books actually center about, her opinion of other people and how she copes with them.
I believe this book is worth reading for someone who liked the first one.
Wonderful!!

Anita Blake stories are about black humor and dark crimes. This story is very good as Anitas work, raising the dead, is described in detail, and the story is really good. Cant wait for the next one!!
I could not put this book down for a second

Wow! I absolutly love the adventures of Anita Blake. Where else are you going to gind zombies, wereanimals, vampires, animators and humor all in one book? Between the action sceeens you are treated to the witty reparte of both Anita, and animator/vamper slayer/helper on the spook squad, and Jean Claude, the master vampire who just happens to lust aftert her. In this book we learn that you can be a "tough as nail" vampire slayer, raise the dead, and still have a collection of stuffed penguines.
