I’m Gettin’ There…

I finished “Twelve Sharp” last week. That’s Janet Evanovich’s twelfth book in her Stephanie Plum series.  I like these books mostly, but I have to say that this is my favorite of all of them so far.  I don’t really have a lot to say about it, but unlike the last one and a couple of the others, it was good right from the beginning.  It was suspenseful, interesting, a little funny (as they all are), and the emotions were more believable than most of the others. A lot of the time she seems to want to be so funny, that it takes away from the real reactions a person would have in the situation.  This time, she let the characters feel they way they would have.

Stephanie broke down when she got to talk to the little girl, Julie. Ranger, who always has had a great sense duty to protect and defend his loved ones was determined as any father would be.

As much as I like these books, I don’t love the slapstick humor of them.  I wish they would get on with it and make a movie or TV series based on it.  I think that would be great!  I don’t know what the hold up is. 

I’m almost caught up.  I started “Lean Mean Thirteen” on Tuesday.  This time it cost me twenty-five cents at the library because I had them reserve it for me.  Twenty-five cents!! Can you believe that? I’d have paid double.
