Review of "Finger Lickin' Fifteen" Sep 01, 2010 I thought this book was quite interesting for the first half. But the second half was a let down for me. There were a lot of good ideas that didn't really go anywhere and I found that to be a disappointment.
Here we see Stephanie helping her bounty hunter mentor Ranger with his security business which is located in Trenton New Jersey. Several of his client's homes and businesses have been broken into and that's not good for business - or for Ranger's reputation. So he asks Stephanie to help him figure out who is stealing the secret pass codes. She does.
Stephanie and Ranger are also wildly attracted to each other. Does she give into temptation? I'm not telling!
In another side-plot Lula, Stephanie's sidekick, is the sole witness to a murder and we see her getting chased by the bad guys. The man that was killed was a TV chef who was going to sponsor a local barbecue cook-off contest. Lula is convinced the killers will show up for the contest so she decides to enter it. This leads to a lot of jokes about getting gas from eating lots of meat with barbecue sauce on it.
So we get more of the same old romantic complications and comic messes wound up in a slightly different plot. Maybe it's time for a change.
LOL FUNNY! Aug 23, 2010 After reading most of the posts that were posted, I have to disagree with you. I thought this was one of the most funniest books out of the whole series! They made this book mostly about Lula,the plot of the story which started at the very beginning was a little unbelieveable, by Janet E. took it and made a very funny story out of it. I truly enjoyed it but it wouldn't hurt to start a new series-it would be tough though since the Stephanie Plum series is so great!! Once again, it was laugh-out-loud funny!
Put a Fork in me Aug 23, 2010 I'm done. The last three books have been tedious. I stuck with them because the first ones were good. But now I'm just sorry I didn't end the relationship sooner. The Morelli v Ranger conflict was set up well. I used to genuinely switch allegiances. Now I don't care and I can't imagine why they would either.
Read, Enjoy, Laugh out loud Aug 20, 2010 I never get tired of the Stephanie Plum series. I can hardly wait until the next one comes out. I like this series because it is an easy read. The book/series always comes up with weird situations but relatable. I've never really read a book that makes me laugh before I started reading this series. I've chuckled before, but really laugh now!!!! I do not know which character I like the best. Each character has their own uniquness. Who wouldn't love a grandma like that? I definately recommend starting from book 1 and reading all of them. It has a plot, a bit of mystery, laughs and interesting people. It keeps your interest and not too big of a book so you can read it. It's one of those books that even if you do not have time to read, you make time to read.
An entertaining disappointment Aug 16, 2010 I really want to like this latest Stephanie Plum installment more than I do, and gave it three stars for being entertaining mental bubble gum. It's a fun and undemanding read, but don't expect any character development and don't look for much sense.
On the good side, the usual quirky characters and wacky adventures are firmly in place, along with Evanovitch's irreverent humor. There are some very funny moments involving cooking mishaps, cross-dressing, and a couple of lunatic killers. Ranger is back and as hot and inscrutable as ever. We don't see a whole lot of Morelli but he's his usual appealing self. The plot is lightweight, which should be no surprise to readers of this series, but fast-paced with no dull spots.
On the bad side - a lot of the quirkiness and wackiness has started to feel recycled from earlier installments. There's really nothing new in Stephanie's life: she still can't commit to Morelli or take the plunge with Ranger. Ranger's tolerance of the destruction of every car he gives her and her frequent need to be bailed out of trouble, not to mention her habit of sleeping in his bed and refusing sex, plus Morelli's tolerance of her relationship with Ranger, passed the point of unbelievable quite some time ago. Lula has gotten so exaggerated that she seems more like a cartoon than a person, and the repeated incidents of her farting are starting to look a little cruel.
Stephanie in general has always had Mary Sue tendencies - by which I mean she distorts reality and the other characters around herself. Two fantastic men (three if you count Diesel) are crazy enough about her to put up with her attitude and her blunders and find them cute, crazed sadistic killers are obsessed with her, she eats like a pig and doesn't get fat, and somehow she always ends up solving the case despite an almost total lack of skills. I find myself longing for Morelli to dump her and find someone else, for Ranger to tell her she's on her own after another car gets blown up, and for her to wake up the next morning and be unable to fit in any of her clothes.
Despite all this, I find the heroine oddly endearing and these novels oddly addictive. I'm not sure it's a particularly good habit - kind of like Stephanie's addiction to doughnuts, maybe - but it's hard to stop and despite the series' shortcomings I'll probably keep reading as long as they keep coming out.
