review 1: Simple book. Simple writing. Unwitty banter trying to play like it's smarter than it is. Predictable scenes. Cheesy, unrealistic happy endings (the sixteen year old prostitute who just needed to be driven to the bus stop, given some cash, and told to go home to her pretty bedroom and loving brother - and suddenly she's all better). All of the characters around the main one seem to be these extreme stereotypes. Nothing subtle about them. And I'm distinctly tired of how the character of Tammy is portrayed. The woman has got to be in her mid thirties by this point, but she's written like a fourteen year old. Saying things like Poo Poo Head and talking in general like a child. I shouldn't complain. Books in this style are notorious for poor character development and simple dia... morelogue. It's what makes them quick reads.
review 2: This series is a fun easy read. It's nice to break up the heaviness that I sometimes read every now and then. This is the 17th book in the series. I had read the 16th book prior to this and enjoyed it more than this one. I still enjoyed my time with Savannah and Dirk, but with the rest of Savannah's family in this book I found it muddied up the story telling. Oh and the story was a bit of a stretch. Hey, I'm not all that picky when it comes to books. I just want to be entertained so I'm willing to let a lot slide, but this was asking a bit too much. I don't think it will keep me from reading other books in the series though. less
