When I checked out the front cover of this book, I got excited when I read the review. ".....like Stephanie Plum" Stephanie Plum is my fav fictional heroine and when Janet Evanovich finally cranks out another book (Next one due Jan 6, 2009), you can be sure I will snatch it up and hibernate until I finish it. Big K hates when I read her novels in bed because I laugh out loud.
I am disappointed to say that this heroine, Saylor Oz, is no Stephanie. Who ever the hell wrote that should allow Janet E. to give them paper cuts with the pages of her next book. Saylor's antics are overly sexual and she has tendency to carry lube and vibrators in her purse. The writing style is elementary at best....almost like reading a good blog. Stephanie Plum's character is more developed and less cheesy. It's comparing a Hersey bar to homemade fudge. They're both chocolate, but one is richer and give you more satisfaction.
The story line is troublesome at best, but I'm only a few chapters in. I'm hoping I don't need to scan for the sex part again. I feel like I've been jipped!
