Oh, you want funny?? Read Divorcing Jack by Colin Bateman and you'll be sent to the corner for causing a disturbance. But then I'm the one who laughed all the way through Crider's Blood Marks (which was supposed to be about a vampire seriel killer) and the newest John Sandford (Certain Prey--talk about Thelma and Louise!!). Evanovich is not only -not- funny but illiterate. But different strokes for different folks. Because it wasn't we'd all be reading Gold Medals and the Black Mask boys.
