Another in the Stephanie Plum series ( so I'm not sure why it is a "between-the-numbers" book) of rollicking comedy and adventure as Diesel drops back into bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life and they chase 2 characters who would scare the be-jesus out of any half-way sane person. Wulf is an opportunistic killer who partners with Martin Munch, boy physics genius, in a rush to take over the world. And then there's the monkeys (plurel) and the legendary Jersey Devil, as well as a plethora of interesting characters who live in the Pine Barrens...the Easter Bunny, Sasquetch, the Fire Farter (I kid you not). Of course, it's not great literature but reading Evanovich IS pure candy and laughing-out-loud funny...enjoy!
I have read all of Janet Evanovich's books and of all the "between the numbers" books, I think this is the best. The book is longer and the story line goes more in depth. In this book, the reader gets to know Diesel better, as he is one of the main characters. The book very seldom mentions Ranger and Morelli, which is kind of disappointing. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and I would recommend reading this book-it will hold you over until #15 is released!
Wonder why the between books are so different. The Plum family didn't make an appearance in the story, until Chapter 21 or 22 - almost the end. It was a memorable family dinner, though. The story was good, with the usual amount of chuckles, but this "between book" had only a smattering of contact with Joe, Ranger, Connie - no contact with Vinnie. Thank goodness, Lula was involved! The story moved along well, but the end was abrupt. Not sure, I'll invest in anymore "between books."
Once you get hooked on Janet Evanovich, you can't get enough. You find yourself starting with ONE thru FIFTEEN, waiting on the new one coming in JUNE... In the interum have been reading all the others, the FULL series, MOTOR MOUTH and METRO GIRL, the Plum series and now starting on HERO AT LARGE, have all those to go thru. Hopefully will be able to read up till the new book is out. If you want to laugh, and I mean actually outload, bursts where people around you look, these are the books for you. A friend started me reading them and am telling everyone I know, finding that a lot of them have her books already. Gals, take a chance, you'll be glad you did.
This is another laugh out loud read from Janet Evanovich! The Stephanie Plum books are always fun and the between the numbers books, like this one, are even more so since they feature the character Diesel. Diesel may or may not be a fantasy story type character and this particular book contains even more fantasy characters than the others. A hard to put down, smile while you read book!
