Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read!

Revisado: 08-18-24

I have been saying that there’s something missing in the writing, as of late. I definitely found whatever it was, in this book. The way Percival Everett weaves together a story is masterful, and he deserves every accolade possible for “James”.

Amazing as Usual

Revisado: 10-05-23

This was a wonderfully quick listen. So much detail and wonder packed into a short time span and I loved every bit of it.

Great book!

Revisado: 11-30-22

I stumbled upon the author’s first book in this series by happenstance, and as I flipped through the pages on my 14 hour flight, I was so glad I did. This second book’s storyline did not disappoint! Although it was a quick listen, the plot still managed to be funny and engaging. Nor did it lag unnecessarily.

The only negative critique was the narrator for the detective. The book is so quirky and upbeat, but his narration really dulled that down for me. By no means is he a bad narrator, but this book just wasn’t the right fit for his tone of voice and delivery. I found myself wondering, why we even needed 2 narrators.

All in all, it was a 4.5 out of 5. I am in love with the author’s writing style and the characters. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

Beautifully written!

Revisado: 06-16-22

This was a fantastic sequel to listen to. I enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns that drove this story forward. Definitely would love to see this turned into a film.

Sigh…Why?

Revisado: 08-18-21

Man, where do I start? The main character is very unlikeable. She drifts from whiny to self loathing with every other sentence. I actually yelled, “B!+(h shut up!” no less than 5 TIMES! If you like a dumb damsel in distress story, this is your book. Sis CANNOT think herself out of a box without a man leading the way. I really did try to finish this book, but with about 5’ish hours to go I had to throw in the towel. After the last, “B!+(h shut up,” escaped my mouth I knew it was time to let this go. I have lots of other thoughts, but I really don’t want to be banned from Audible so I will part with this… Unless you want a sappy and predictable story where a woman starts a new life after 30, do not read this book. Periodt.

Great Read!

Revisado: 07-10-21

I loved it. This writing style puts me in the mind of Janet Evanovich, but the addition of food made it a little bit tastier. My only complaint is that February of 2022 is a long wait for the second book!

Walter Mosley doesn’t disappoint.

Revisado: 06-03-20

Another Leonid McGill tale that takes you on a quick journey, and has you wishing it didn’t have to end so soon.

Annoying at times, but overall a good read.

Revisado: 05-31-20

I absolutely love how light-hearted and fun this series is. I’ve always enjoyed it, as I’ve read it off and on my entire adult life. I guess now that I am circling back to it —and times have changed so much, parts of it are now annoying. The main character is mediocre at her job, careless af, and has to depend on one of two men rescuing her from herself repeatedly. It’s like —she just doesn’t want to live! At times, I found myself frustrated with her quirkiness that sometimes borderlines on stupidity. Ma’am! Keep the damn gun on you AND loaded. Why does someone from your family have to be approached or kidnapped for you to do what only equates to common damn sense! (Sigh)

Any who, I know it’s dated fiction so I’ll get off my 2020 soapbox and give props where they’re due. In spite of all of that, it’s still pretty dang good.

Good book, but just too long!

Revisado: 02-13-20

This was an overall good book, and it was well written. I felt that it had an original and well thought out plot. My only, and I mean only, issue is that it was entirely too long. I was able to figure out what the ending would entail about 12 hrs in. I really didn’t need 9 more hours to find out that the heroine would triumph over her adversary.
