See, that's my dilemna. I loved the earlier books and would recommend them to anyone who wants some good fairyfloss emptycalorie reading. Basically for the same reason someone would pick up a Mercedes Lackey book.
Actually, Anita Blake's original similarities to Diane Tregard was one of the reasons I picked up the series to begin with. But throughout the course of the series I developed a great dislike for the "big three" ( Anita, Richard and Jean Clod, errr I mean Claude ). The angst that drips off the main characters is something you expect from a WB series.
I recommend the earlier books. If you want my opinion of where to stop reading, stop just before Burnt Offerings. Then again YMMV.
