Apart from the fact that only Jericho Barrons could have rescued Bitten from a pool of mindboggling dullness, Armstrong's werewolves just didn't match my expectations *sulkily stripes away raw animalism, carnality, pack troubles, alpha fights, angst, werewolvish sex - whatever that may be..*. I actually caught myself longing for the werewolves in Blood & Chocolate, trailer trashy and imperfect as they were.
Wouldn't surprise me if the pack in Bitten grows organic tomatoes for a living too.
I'm probably just bitter though, everyone else on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ seems to be bitten and smitten.

That's the most rational thing I've read all day.

I had a similar experience when I read your "screen door in a tornado" comment.
I was just about to pick this up in an airport bookstore! Thank you so much for saving me from the misery :-)
It's not even one of those "everyone liked it but me" books. This was so very dull. These werewolves were more like Chihuahua's.
I will like anything with a JZB reference.

I remember reading this and thinking it was very slow. At the time, I was nicer with my ratings. If I read it now, I'd probably go a very low 2 stars. Then again, I liked
quite a bit and it had a similar premise as book 1 of this series. So who knows what makes people like a book...

..."True. Stray gets a lot of one star reviews as well. It proves again how difficult it is to go by reviews by others. And thus we stumble through our reading careers.:D
Your comment about the organic tomatoes was a scream! :)
