Book Review: Stephanie Plum novels 1-14 by Janet Evanovich

Figured I may as well throw them all in one post.

These books ARE the reason I haven't blogged in a month. Well, not the only reason, but a large part of the reason.

Can't be the whole reason, cuz I haven't blogged in a month and it only took me 3 weeks to read all the books. However, I have had to do other things like feed my children, clean the house and play the piano. I tried to fit all that in with my reading. And I did some of it.

I really like these books although I have to say up front, the reason I can fit them all in one blog post is because they're all basically the same book.

Heroine must find bad guy, heroine gets into crazy high jinx with her bff, heroine wants Ranger, heroine wants Morelli, gets kidnapped, gets rescued, captures bad guy, still wants Ranger and Morelli.

But no one cares if the books are all the same cuz they're just so darn funny. There really is nothing funnier than the characters in these books and each book intros some new freaky figure to laugh at. So this is why I will keep reading them. Just to see what crazy little Stephanie drags up next.

Laugh out loud funny. Really, how many other books are you gonna get to read out loud to your husband a scene where a penis gets delivered in a box to the dinner table and the Grandmother can't wait to take a look?

And now I can't wait for them to make a movie. And I will dedicate the rest of this post to picking the characters:

Stephanie Plum must be Sandra Bullock. There is no debating this.

Lola is a toss up between Queen Latifa and that black lady that does the PineSol commercials.

Connie should be Marissa Tomei, although she might be a little young. But if you saw her in My Cousin Vinny, you know she's the one to pull it off.

Vincent Plum could be Danny Aiello. He's Italian and looks like he could pull off slimy.

Mary Lou should be the sweet girl from the movie Miss Congeniality, you know the one that says her idea of an ideal date is April 25.

Grandma Mazur is a toughie. Most people are gonna want to pick someone like the oldest lady from the Golden Girls but I tend to go with someone like, oh what's her name, the lady with the obnoxious mouth and her and her daughter do fashion critiques on the runway? Joan Rivers.

Her parents can be the dad from Everybody Loves Raymond and the mom from My Greek Wedding. Don't know their names.

Her sister Valerie could be Monica Bellucci. I feel like she could pull off the sweet girl goes crazy thing.

The Mooner will have to be Napolean Dynamite. Whatever his name is. Without a doubt.

Sally Sweet should be the guy that played Shaggy in live action Scooby Doo. Perfect.

Of course I'm leaving Morelli and Ranger til last cuz I just don't know. I'm going to have to do a google search for hottest guys in the universe to decide. I guess I'm just gonna have to wait and see who they pick, but I keep thinking of that guy from the show in the early 2000's, Third Watch, his name is Bobby Cannavale, for Morelli (I'll feature his pic for this post so you can look at him and then agree with me). Google him. Pretty hot. I think he'd do. Or someone a WHOLE lot like him, anyway. And a lot of people say The Rock for Ranger, but I don't know. Maybe. He's the best suggestion I've seen so far.

Hope they really make a movie, as I'm going to the midnight showing of it if they do. Anyone else wanna go??
