Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich (2009, Hardcover)

Finger Lickin' Fifteen is awesome! Love Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series. I own the entire series now.

This is light, fun reading. I have enjoyed every episode (novel) in this series. The author has a wonderful sense of humor and seems to do her homework about factual issues in the story. It is a good series and anyone can pick it up anywhere in the series. You do not have to have read the books in order to enjoy any individual book. I bought it on e-bay actually hoping for a paperback copy, but ended up with hard bound for a lower price than even the paperback would be new retail.

I love all of Janet's books.they make you laugh. you start reading them and don;t want to put them down because you want to get to the end. so I just keep buying them till I get my fill but then she comes out with a new one so thank you.

OK, I reviewed this book too early. I gave up on Stephanie and on Janet. I really thought they had both disappointed me. Honestly, I could put the book down and totally forget about it. To me that means the book just isn't what I expected. Then I picked it up again. I had put the book down just pages from a scene that had me sitting in the bathroom because I was afraid I would pee my pants. The scene went on for at least a page, maybe two. It felt like I was in the bathroom forever! I had to put the book aside so I could catch my breath. . . at least 4 times! I honestly thought I was going to die laughing at one point.

Ok so it starts slow. Be prepared for the biggest laugh in your life. And it's not the last laugh in the book!
---I know I'm not tired of the antics of Stephanie, Lula and Grandma. So I wonder why it took me so long to get through this particular book. It still made me laugh out loud, made my husband and cat abandon me as totally crazy, but it was almost work to finish reading it. Honestly, I didn't care if Lula got hit by the sauce guy's killers! In the beginning of the book she spent more time with Morelli than Stephanie did. Maybe that's what doesn't feel right. I must admit, I'm glad things are back to normal with Stephanie's cars being blown up. I kind of missed that in the last book, but then, she drove it around with shamanistic graffiti through most of the book. I think she needs to have that done to a car the moment she takes hold of the keys the first time.

Over all, the book is great. I just couldn't get to the "can't put it down" phase I have in every other Evanovich book, even the silly romances!

As always Evanovich keeps you turning the pages. This is my favorite writer and I promise if you like a good laugh any of her plum series with provide for you.
