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.
