I don’t know what it is about Janet Evanovich, but I love her! It may be her creative writing, it may be the way I feel like I’m in the stories, or it may just be the craziness that makes my life look simple.

I liked this book because it brought all of my favorite characters back together. The Mooner is back in this book and Grandma Mazur, whom I love! And it brought a couple of new characters that I became fans of. Who doesn’t love a psychic (Gary) and a graffiti paintin, Internet gamin teen (Zook)?

This book was pretty action-packed, as most are. I liked the story line… but unlike other books, I couldn’t figure it out. This is one you’ll never guess the killer. I promise you that.

This is the 17th Stephanie Plum book I’ve read, and all of them never fail to surprise me. They are all very well written and each of them are completely different. I was worried when I started the series that they would overlap too much, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that Evanovich can think of so many story lines. Very impressive.

I liked that Stephanie took part in security for a celebrity, but I didn’t like how the celebrity stayed around. She got on my nerves.

I try not to go into too many details in these, in case you want to read the book, but I always write things down while I read. One of things I wrote down this time is when one of the male characters punches a woman in the face. I’m not saying it would be funny if a man punched me in the face, but for some reason, I laughed out loud at this. I don’t think it’s right for men to hit women, but this cracked me up.

I also wrote down “change in text” … not sure what that meant, I’ll keep thinking and if I remember, I’ll come back.

I give this book 4 bookmarks. ( )

A mystery and a comedy all in one! I love the characters. I laughed out loud a few times. ( )

Quick enjoyable murder mystery with just a dab of slapstick humor. The only bad thing is I can read them faster than Evanovich can write them. ( )

I am starting to get bored and annoyed with Stephanie Plum.

No matter what the situation, if there is a good/safe course of action and a very stupid one, you can bet Stephanie will go for the stupid get-yourself-in-a-shity-situation one. Ms. Evanovich, this is truly becoming annoying and so, so, so predictable.

Next, Stephanie can't choose between her two men. Well, 'scuse me! Ok, so I'd like to have the same problem. I truly don't see what these men see in her. She's a trouble magnet, and has little appeal.

How about she starts developing real bounty hunter skills? She's been at it for, what, 14 books. Enough with the "I'm a bounty hunter, but I rely more on lucky than actual skill". It was part of her charm that she was a bit clumsy, but it's been too long now. How about she starts knowing what to do for a change? ( )

Stephanie is back for another mystery that, not suprisingly, ends up with more car deaths. Her feelings for Ranger and Morelli are still confused, her skips still get the best of her, and Lula is still one of the funniest characters. While the story is repetative and highly predictable, it is still funny and very entertaining. I love the Stephanie Plum Novels and I can not wait to read FLF. ( )
