***SPOLER ALERT*** This is the first book that I didn't find any amusing situations that made me laugh. The book does not read as though it was written by the same author as the previous books. This book reads and feels different. The language, syntax, everything just felt off. I noticed a FTA name and several other names reused, which seemed odd to me. Her apt was safe, no blown up cars, funeral viewings or help from Grandma. Was she on vacation during this book? The interaction with Grandma and The Plums is always enjoyable. So tired of the Joe and Ranger fight. Enough already, pick one and move on. Joe never buys her things, yet she always turns to Ranger for cars, help with a FTA and to hide out. But, she is supposed to be engaged to be engaged with Joe. She never has bullets for her gun and is usually kidnapped by someone. After 25 books, she has grown very little. Stephanie and Lula are like part of the three stooges, it was funny for a while, and now has become boring and stale. My final Plum novel.

This is one of the worst book yet! If her work keeps this quality i will not be buying any more
Although this is the 25th book in a series, it can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. At least if was a fun read for me. The bad news? I’m going to have to shell out quite a few bucks for the first 25.

I feel as though Stephanie Plum and Lula are neighbors of mine here in North Dakota. They feel like friends my wife and I have.

BLUSH FACTOR There is some trash talk, but, for the most part, nothing too severe. However, there are eff-words – precisely two, if it matters to you. The first is found on page 155 and the second on page 285. Honestly, though, I would not like to see anybody pass this book by simply for these two slips of the tongue. This is THAT fun and engaging.

CHARACTER All of the central characters are well-drawn, and with just enough quirks to keep them authentic and interesting.

POV First person.

EXCERPT

This excerpt is provided so readers can get a feel for the writing and their quirky behaviors.

'... “Maybe we can help you,” Lula said.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Killing myself.”

“There’s lots of decisions associated with that,” Lula said. “I assume you’re gonna shoot yourself in the head.”

“Yeah,” Kulicki said.

“Well, your head will most likely explode and make a big mess when you shoot yourself, so best to do it in the bathroom or kitchen. And then are you going to leave a note? And you’ll probably poop your pants so you gotta decide if boxers are the best choice or do you want to be wearing something more sturdy?”

“Mostly I was just thinking if I should do it,” Kulicki said.

“I’d advise against it,” Lula said. “It’s not something you can change your mind on after you do it. And suppose the bullet doesn’t go in exactly right and you turn yourself into an unsightly vegetable?”

Kulicki nodded. “That’s a concern.”

“You bet your [expletive deleted],” Lula said. “Why do you want to kill yourself?”

“To begin with, I’m going to jail.”

“It might not be so bad,” Lula said. “I know lots of people in jail, and they’re doing okay. Besides, you could get off with community service or something. You don’t know for sure if you’ll get jail time.”

“Even if I don’t go to jail my life is ruined. All because of some stupid fries.”

“You got shorted at the drive-thru window, right?” Lula said.

“Yes. So, I went inside and asked for the manager.”

“And there was no manager, right?” Lula said.

“Right! And then some green-haired imbecile with a nose ring who was behind the counter told me I was fat and didn’t need more fries.”

“I had that same thing happen to me,” Lula said. “I hate that place.”

“So, I was still polite,” Kulicki said. “I told him he was rude and his comments were unprofessional and inappropriate.”

“You exhibited excellent self-control,” Lula said. “I told him he smelled like cucumber and cat pee, and…’

BOTTOM LINE

This is more than hilarious. Actually, it is more humorous, than it is laugh-out-loud hilarity. In one word. In fact, they are endearing. At least for me.

Five stars out of five.

This series seems to have lost its mojo. What used to be hilarious has become tedious. Number 25 is not funny and that was the thing that I loved about this series. There were always laughs to be had - big belly laughs while I was reading in bed at night. Not anymore apparently. I suspect that the last two books - 24 and 25 - were ghost written. The continuity in some of the characters has changed. Lula is called fat twice and "large" once. Everyone knows that when Lula is called fat she goes crazy on the person making the remark. Not so in this book. She only gets mildly irritated when called a large woman. She doesn't even react when called fat twice. Now that's just not Lula. And, since book 24, Stephanie - who rarely uses obscenities - is using the world "dick" and other colorful phrases. Now, I don't object to cursing in books, I'm no prude. But, it's usually the characters around Stephanie who are using colorful language rather than Stephanie herself. There has been a definite increase in obscenities from all characters starting with book 24 and continuing with 25. Perhaps in an attempt to make the series seem edgier? And, how long is Stephanie going to vacillate between Ranger and Morelli? The decades long teasing of her bouncing back and forth between these two men has gotten stale. The whole book feels stale. The plot does pick up the pace about 60% into the story, but the laughs are nowhere to be found. Sigh. This is not what I expect from Evanovich. Really, what happened to this series???
You know, I do like Stephanie and her friends, but I have to say the last 2 books are not near as good as the first 23. This book was humorous, but didn't have any of the laugh out loud parts like in the previous books. I used to get at least 2 good belly laughs out of each book, but not from the last two. I would love more of Grandma Mazur in the books. I am kind of bored with the Stephanie, Joe and Ranger triangle. Stephanie is old enough to make a man decision! Personally, I think she should get together with Ranger! Joe is kind of boring and taking advantage of Ranger, he wants Ranger to protect Stephanie, but not have anything personal going on between Stephanie and Ranger! Ranger really has a soft spot for Stephanie and, I hate to say it , but she uses him, she keeps getting cars and help from him and just seems kind of 'Ranger will fix it all, and pick up my FTAs and let me have the money'. This book was amusing, but at he same time kind of ho hum!
