"Transmetropolitan V. 2" by Warren Ellis was great fun. The further depraved adventures of journalist Spider Jerusalem and his assistant. Someone has put a hit out on Spider, it was great to see him on the run.
"Richard and Elizabeth" by Lester David and Jhan Robbins was a delightful look at my all time favorite celebrity couple. Their decade together set the gold standard for true love and it's such a shame they couldn't have managed to stay together longer. But who knows if the world could have stood it :)
"Sassy Belles" by Beth Albright was a waste of time. Thank god it was short and quick. So boring and very, very cliched.
And finally, Jeff Lindsay's "Dexter's Final Cut". The show ends tomorrow night (cue hysterical weeping). Is this the last Dexter book? It seems as if it might be. Dexter and Deb are helping a film crew working in Miami shooting a TV pilot. Robert Chase, a well known actor, is supposed to shadow Dexter and learn how to be a forensics geek, while the beautiful Jackie Forrest is supposed to learn how to be a hard nosed detective from Deb. When a murder victim who resembles Jackie turns up and is linked to two other murders, one in New York and one in Las Vegas, and all the victims resemble Jackie, Deb and Dexter figure Jackie is in danger from a stalker. The ending totally blew me away, and makes me think this is the final book. I don't want to spoil it, but oh my god. Didn't see it coming. I'll be sad to see the books go away, I've enjoyed them.
And on a totally unrelated note: happy birthday Stephen King! Can't wait for "Doctor Sleep" next week!
