Book: Finger Lickin' Fifteen

[amanda_lodden]

Madeline voted for cut-and-paste, and it's sort of a reverse-veto vote: it only takes one person. However, I'm not numbering, because that requires me to bother to go look up what the last one was, and I'm lazy.

Whiiiich means I'll probably not have Goodreads post to Facebook anymore, because it'll duplicate the LiveJournal crosspost. I still want the search capabilities included in Goodreads, though.

* Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich (16)

This book was a solid "meh". Stephanie continues to act more like a grown-up, but doesn't actually make any more progress than that. Lula doesn't even act like an adult, and I stand by my assessment-- she either needs a huge shot of character growth or she needs to die a horrible death.

If I were basing my opinion of the entire series on this one book, I probably wouldn't read any more. But I remember how much I avoided picking up Eleven On Top because I had gotten so tired of the series, and then being pleasantly surprised at how good it was. This book is pretty much just a placeholder while we wait for Evanovich to pull out of this latest slump.

So far (I'm only just now on 13) 12 has been my favorite. The Ranger/Fake Ranger one.

Giggled like a school child.

I consider these my Saturday morning cartoon readings. I'm definitely not reading this series to do anything but pass the time and get a few chuckles.

To me the later ones (and they're almost all later ones) all blend together, though admittedly I read them all in a pretty short time. My sister says there is a split in the fandom between people who want to see Stephanie with Ranger (the "Babes") and people who want to see her with Morelli (the "Cupcakes"). I want to see her with the dwarf computer programmer... He was the only guy who would call her on her shit, but just the right blend of crazy/grounded to be good with her. Though I should read that book a second time, whichever it was, to check. :)
