I loved it! They just get better and better, don&#39;t they. It&#39;s one of those series where I know I&#39;m going to feel such a pang when I get to the end. But at the same time I know I&#39;ll be revisiting them - there&#39;s just so much there, that I think each reading would bring a slightly different experience, if that makes any sense.Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-67882218217881594342009-09-18T08:32:38.117-04:002009-09-18T08:32:38.117-04:00I am so glad you are enjoying the series. The next volume, Dream Country, is one of my favorite volumes and has some really nice stories in it. I look forward to your thoughts on that one.Carl V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-53613149162843933852009-09-09T21:52:16.497-04:002009-09-09T21:52:16.497-04:00Jenny - I like that about the series, too (and about series in general). When it&#39;s done well, it really gives it depth.Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-59179821327028482332009-09-09T20:37:47.910-04:002009-09-09T20:37:47.910-04:00I&#39;m glad you liked it! I do agree that the volumes build on each other - there&#39;s stuff in this volume that comes back (a lot!) later on in the series. I love that about Sandman. :)Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-3969801730356981592009-09-09T20:29:29.949-04:002009-09-09T20:29:29.949-04:00Kailana - That <i>is</i> annoying. Aside from the standalone stories, the others really build on each other (from what I&#39;ve seen so far), so I&#39;d definitely recommend reading them in order. :-(Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-46948117232127965662009-09-09T18:13:56.024-04:002009-09-09T18:13:56.024-04:00I really need to read more from this series. The library has random volumes of it, though, which is really annoying!Kailanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-81964374746520872802009-09-09T12:50:39.542-04:002009-09-09T12:50:39.542-04:00I&#39;d say the series is very action/adventure, espionage with a combination of some supernatural elements. I really like the characters - I&#39;m not sure if you&#39;d like it. You could give the first book 50 pages (my usual rule of thumb) and see what you think!Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-68916387134600227162009-09-09T12:24:30.590-04:002009-09-09T12:24:30.590-04:00The Bitten to Death series looks interesting...but is it too sci-fi for me??Virginia Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15884790155886155406noreply@blogger.com
