Needed to get into a reading flow again and Stephanie Plum never disappoints - at least as long as I'm not her boss. ( ) I was reluctant to read a book with raised print on the cover and the declaration that it was ‘The Number One Best Seller’ but what I liked most about this book was not the humour or catty characters but that each page welcomed me like a comfortable chair next to a warm fire. I would have given it 5 stars but underlying all the warmth and humour was a kind of plodding. Maybe this is unavoidable with procedural semi-police investigation but it’s there and it drags.
When in doubt, eat some cake. Ebbene, Janet Evanovich è riuscita ancora una volta a farmi piangere dalle risate, amo questa serie e niente mi rende più triste di leggere che negli ultimi volumi (è arrivata al venticinquesimo) la qualità è calata parecchio… vedremo se ci arriverò! Per il momento, posso dirvi che, se avete bisogno di ridere, le (dis)avventure di Stephanie Plum potrebbero fare al caso vostro! «My grandmother is a little Cuban woman who cooks all day and speaks Spanish. Your grandmother watches pay-per-view porn». «She used to watch the Weather Channel, but she said there wasn’t enough action». In questo nono episodio, la maggior fonte di risate sono state le diete di Lula, evidente presa per i fondelli di tutte le diete strambe che vanno di moda e che vengono pubblicizzate dai vari giornali/VIP/influencer o chi per loro (okay, magari non da influencer nel 2004). Come al solito, Stephanie è una calamita per ogni calamità e a Morelli e Ranger basta starle intorno per finire per beccare i criminali (e attenzione ai danni collaterali…). A questo giro abbiamo avuto anche come bonus una serata a Las Vegas con Lula e Connie, una roba veramente folle, con inclusa guerra tra gli imitatori di Elvis Presley e quelli di Tom Jones, sto ridacchiando anche mentre scrivo. Mostly we solve our problems with cake. Come si fa a non voler bene a Stephanie? I'm a huge fan of this series. It's always been guaranteed to pull me out of a reading slump and make me laugh out loud. So I was delighted to pick up the next book and see what kinds of shenanigans Stephanie and her friends could get into. So having said that, I was really disappointed that the ninth book in the series left me feeling... "meh." There was so much about TO THE NINES that I just didn't like. The way Lula was described as an unstoppable food fiend made me cringe. Morelli and Ranger lusting after Stephanie at every turn got old fast. And the plot itself was both nonsensical and predictable. I would have rated it a lot lower, but I enjoy visiting Stephanie and her kooky family. I liked being back in Trenton, and I even managed to chuckle a time or two. I don't know if I'm outgrowing the series (which is possible), if I was in the wrong mood for this book (probable), or if I should just stop overthinking it and just move on (totally likely). I will, of course, read the tenth book, but if this series keeps missing the mark for me, I may have to let it go. This is a shame because it's been such a great comfort series for so long. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML: The #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Janet Evanovich's novels are the hottest bestsellers in America! Stephanie Plum's got rent to pay, people shooting at her, and psychos wanting her dead every day of the week (much to the dismay of her mother, her family, the men in her life, the guy who slices meat at the deli . . . oh, the list goes on). An ordinary person would cave under the pressure. But hey, she's from Jersey. Stephanie Plum may not be the best bounty hunter in beautiful downtown Trenton, but she's pretty darn good at turning bad situations her way . . . and she always gets her man. In To the Nines, her cousin Vinnie (who's also her boss) has posted bail on Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant. When the elusive Mr. Singh goes missing, Stephanie is on the case. But what she uncovers is far more sinister than anyone imagines and leads to a group of killers who give new meaning to the word hunter. In a race against time that takes her from the Jersey Turnpike to the Vegas Strip, Stephanie Plum is on the chase of her life. The unforgettable characters, nonstop action, high-stakes suspense, and sheer entertainment of To the Nines define Janet Evanovich as unique among today's writers. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
