Evanovich getting tired? (rated 3 stars)

Fearless Fourteen: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Stephanie Plum Novels)

by Janet Evanovich

This is Evanovich’s 14th in the Stephanie Plum series.

Although there was an array of wacky characters, alas there was just a brief time with Grandma Masur and Stephanie’s parents. Thankfully Stephanie’s sister and her family weren’t there. I thought the subplot with Lula and Tank getting engaged dumb and Brenda was annoying.

Not a lot of substance to this book but good if you are looking for something mindless and a quick read.

I’m wondering if Evanovich is getting tired and bored.

Sucked (rated 1 star)

The Dead Room

by Heather Graham

I have to disagree with Amazon’s comment that the conclusion left me “well satisified”. Far from it.

It sounded like an interesting premise … but I can’t say anything good about it. The “sex scenes” with Matt, the ghost, were dumb. Joe, the cousin, was drab. I didn’t care about Leslie at all. I didn’t like the writing. To be honest, I didn’t care who “dunnit” ... I just wanted to be finished. I saw the happy ending coming … dumb dumb dumb!

This was the first book I’ve read by Graham and I won’t be reading any others.

A review of "Skinny Bitch" (rated 2 stars)

Skinny Bitch

by Kim Barnouin

Good reminder of what we should and shouldn’t be eating if we want to lose weight.

But …

The book is very vulgar with its swearing (yes, including the “F” word) which got tiring. The authors are vegans and are VERY anti-meat. I skipped over most of the chapter entitled “You are what you eat” because it graphically detailed slaughterhouse procedures, complete with quotes from those who work in them. I applaud the authors for not eating meat but didn’t appreciate the way they tried to shove it down my throat so graphically.
