Because Anne Rice is a self-indulgent, flowery writer who doesn't know how to write characters who aren't basically self-inserts. After the 53rd character's tedious monologue about how brilliant Mozart is it makes me like Mozart less.



Is volume 1 the first Dredd you've read? I assure you, you should continue after you finish it. I haven't read the first stories but OMG is Dredd addictive. Just ordered a new Dredd TPB yesterday that's the second half of the storyline I just finished and of course it's gonna be two weeks delivery from the UK. Luckily I just got the first volume of Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men with the rest on the way so Imma be rereading the **** out of that till Dredd comes.
