more weirdness from the bizarre world of Laurell K. Hamilton

Darla Cook, rather infamous personal assistant to the best selling writer Laurell K. Hamilton made this

weird post at Amazon in the Lick of Frost forum, and I am very impressed by some of the responses to it, eloquently ripping what she says to shreds - from the nonsense about Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" being a romance to the reasons why so many people no longer are fans of Hamilton.

Hello! It's not just the sex, though the sex is very boring and overused and the relationships unhealthy and abusive and astonishingly unpleasant. It's the poor writing (bad punctuation, constant misspellings, etc.) together with a huge helping of continuity errors and dropped plotlines along WITH the sex and the constant angsting about the sex replacing ANY sort of plot!

Why can't the people in the Hamilton camp understand these rather simple points?

And why do Hamilton and her entourage keep attacking anyone who questions the unfortunate direction her books have taken????

Don't they realize that every attack loses more of her fans?

Ugh. Just ugh.
