Review:
I have honestly been dying to read a book by Janet Evanovich and when I saw this at my local library, I nearly peed my pants with excitement! Ok, that’s not really how it happened, but I was still super excited.
I read a few reviews where the reviewers compared Lizzie to Stephanie Plum. They also said that they were too similar. Well, since this is my first Evanovich book, I can’t say that I agree, because I don’t know anything about Stephanie Plum. I can say this: I love Lizzie. And if Stephanie is anything like Lizzie, I’m sure I’ll love her, too. And I think that I love Janet Evanovich as well.
The characters were rich and colorful. I was never bored. The plot moved quickly, and though definitely not real, was something I could relate to. The supporting characters added just the right amount of comic relief and side plots. Glo is freaking hilarious.
There’s so much left to explore and I cannot wait to read the next installment. Ms. Evanovich, wanna throw me an ARC???? Please?? I’ll get my wife to bake you cookies!
Wicked Appetite is witty, hilarious, well-written, and entertaining. My only complaint is how quick it went! And now I’m totally disappointed that I have to wait until 2012 for the untitled sequel. Boo hiss.
5 Stars: Gobble this one up. It’s yummy.
Get to reading,
Richard
I want to read this!
