Finger Lickin' Fifteen is the latest book in the Stephanie Plum series. Personally, I did not feel it was one of the strong points. I felt there were too many separate storylines going on in this book to the point where all organization is lost. I was partially confused with keeping track of all of Stephanie's FTAs, Stanley Chipotle's murderers, and Ranger's robber situation. I also felt that the Chipotle murder (the main case of the novel) was wrapped up a little disjointedly. Nonetheless, theSo what's with Evanonvich's sudden obsession with farts? And why is it that only one of her characters performs this most human of functions? It seems like on every third page of this book Lula lets go another big one. Always Lula. Obviously, it is supposed to be hilarious. Now if RANGER let go a big one, that would be truly hilarious! Oh, I forgot. Ranger is perfect. He doesn't fart.And herein lies my problem with this book. Yes, it is another quick, funny trip through the whacked-out landscape
Book Review 4 of 5 stars to Finger Lickin' Fifteen, the 15th book in the Stephanie Plum mystery series, written by Janet Evanovich and published in 2009. Evanovich packed a lot of action into this installment, covering more than usual in Stephanie's crazy life. To start off, she's moonlighting for Ranger to help him figure out who's stealing from his business. Not for nothing, and though she may be getting better a bounty hunter and detective, how can Ranger not solve this on his own? And who
Stephanie Plum strikes again! She should have a fire truck permanently assigned to follow her to put out all the burning cars, apartments, and even friends.All the usual cast of bond enforcement people, cops and crooks (especially deviants) are included for a very funny tale punctuated by madcap killers, trips to Cluck-in-a-Bucket and our very own cross dressing fireman Mr. Clucky, the dancing chicken.Stephanie's adventures with Ranger, Lula and Grandma make for a fun read. I can just imagine
Pure fluff, and I LOVE IT!! I laughed the entire 3 1/2 hours it took me to read this. A whole lot of BBQ and Lula is the center of attention in this one after she witnesses a murder and the thugs spend the entire book trying to kill her off. This one is over the top (yes, I know they all are, but this one seems more so than others.). I don't want the series to end, but how long can Evanovich sustain the Stephanie/Morelli/Ranger triangle before we get sick of it. I'd rather the series end on a
This book was more about Lula than Stephanie but it's fine by me 'coz it did not lack anything in the humor department. The storyline, though...can't say the same for it. It seemed too haphazard and oddly paced most of the times.These books are highly entertaining nonetheless and I shall read the next one soon. :D
So disappointing. I was excited to see if Janet could bring the series back to life but she did not. More of the same. Other series like this I've read which continue successfully, the characters grow, personally and professionally. The characters change and the circumstances change. I learned nothing new about Ranger, Stephanie or Morelli, or Lulu, or Connie, or Vinnie or any of them. These are brilliantly thought out characters and plots in the beginning books. But they have not been taken
