you may notice that i tend to be a bit generous with my *-giving. i assure you, the **** are indeed worth your time, be they classics or just some of my new personal favorites. the * (or in the case of "zookeeper" -25*) i would not read again. unless paid to do so (except for "zookeeper," no amount of money and all that rot). oh, you'll also notice i read all of the sookie series yet gave them a dismal *; here's why : they kept my interest while reading them, but looking back i
