By the way, I’m rereading the series now. There are parts I missed!

Rereading the series, I love how the R.A.’s anal need for control is later fleshed out brilliantly, first by Ana Cristina and later by the rest of us. (Okay, my two favorite characters in the series, hands down. Mendez and Lurch).
