A good book looking at a world in which lycanthropy is the norm, and "nons" are a lower social caste. There were a lot of disturbing illustrations of racism that parallel into our own world and history. It would be interesting to see a series which included a novel from the lycantrhope's point of view.

Amusing tale of murder at a science fiction convention. The details of various fans was quite funny for a fan. The technology in the novel is a bit dated.

The story follows the graphic novel fairly closely. Straczynski's graphic novel was better. This author used simile's comparing action in the novel from scenes in random movies, assuming the reader would get the reference. (Pink Flamingos being one which I have not seen.) He did this repeatedly. There were also many typos, mosly omitted words, and a few of the kind that would pass a computer spell check because the wrong word was written.

If you're a completist, it is worthwhile. If you're wanting a good story, I'd recommend the graphic novel version of this story more than this version.

Funny novel of a fashion driven vampire. I loved the humor. If I could have removed the sex scenes, it would have been the perfect read for my teenager.

Fairly common plotline of an amateur sleuth. Enjoyable read. Just a dabble of the paranormal, but not much.
