bryonie 's review for:

Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich
4.0

This book was so much fun. I've only started reading Janet Evanovich in the past few months and I'm kicking myself for not picking up her stuff earlier, but better late than never I guess. I can't give this book a 5 because the plot was a little thin, but the humor in the book definitely made me give it a solid 4.

I found myself giggling while I listened to this book (I read it as an audio book) quite often. I loved almost all of the characters. I haven't read any of the Stephanie Plum books yet (but I'm going to in the new year for sure) so I can't comment on some of the reviews saying that there isn't anything really original in them, but I don't care. When I read, I just want to be entertained, and I was with this book. I especially loved Cat #4173 and Carl. It's hard to give animals solid characters, but they certainly had character in this book. And Glo... I think she was my favorite of the bunch. That gobbledy-gook spell she cast was HILARIOUS.

And I have to say something about the narrator Lorelei King. I see that she is the same one that does almost all of Janet Evanovich's books, and I LOVE her. She brings a LOT to the table with Janet Evanovich's books. I'm sure I'm liking this books as much for the humor as for Lorelei's delivery.

I've got a glut of books coming up in my library hold's queue (I'm sure I'm going to get 3 dumped on me in the next couple days), but as soon as that is cleared up, I'm moving on to the next two books in short order.
