The books are also frightening and that's another aspect that I wonder how they handle.<br /><br />LOL! *Lukewarm* is such a perfect way to describe my feelings about Wicked Appetite. And yet, it really was not a terrible read. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-13339731420167772772011-10-28T19:08:34.040+01:002011-10-28T19:08:34.040+01:00I love the tv version but the books are a bit gory...I love the tv version but the books are a bit gory for me. :<)<br /><br />I've never been drawn to read E. Too out there for me. Your first review was the epitome of the phrase, 'lukewarm' - great post, Cath.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-34197766532066307282011-10-27T14:17:04.178+01:002011-10-27T14:17:04.178+01:00Hi Yvonne.

The book was fun but no way am I suddenly going to rush out and fill my (already groaning) tbr shelves with her books. But the good thing is I've now tried one and know how I feel about them.<br /><br />Yes, I think the 9th Rizzoli and Isles book is just out. My opinion on them is that they get better and better. I was told they would and it's true. I'm not sure you would need to reread the two you read, there is a slight continuing theme but nothing that really affects the plots of subsequent books.<br /><br />Kay: I completely understand why the Evanovich books have not clicked with you. I can honestly say I'm not bothered whether I read another one or not.<br /><br />LOL. Well then... I will just have to keep reading the R & I books to find out. What a terrible hardship!!!<br /><br />Pat: Yep, I'm quite pleased with 9... trouble is not many were from the books on the shelf. lol! One of mine was a short book too, The Small Hand. I don't think we need to worry too much. I honestly don't see graphic novels as proper books either. There can't be the same amount of reading in them as there is in a normal book.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-32099311058250366502011-10-27T12:29:32.255+01:002011-10-27T12:29:32.255+01:00look at you reading 9 books for rip!! wow!... If I...look at you reading 9 books for rip!! wow!... If I am lucky I will finish the book I am reading (the butterfly cabinet) in time also.. that would make 9 for me too but with a "cheat" since one was only a novella of Wilke Collins...but then some people count "graphic novels" as books... I have trouble with calling those "books" even if they do have book prices on them lol..DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-73503518437445118192011-10-26T19:16:07.792+01:002011-10-26T19:16:07.792+01:00I'm not much of an Evanovich fan. Just never ...I'm not much of an Evanovich fan. Just never clicked with me. However, you know that I am a big, big fan of Tess Gerritsen. I remember THE MEPHISTO CLUB. I read it in 2007. I thought at the time that she might use some of the elements and characters again. Won't tell you if she has.

I did read the first couple many years ago, long before the idea of a blog was on the horizon, so although I can remember loving them, I would probably need to refresh myself about the stroylines before I felt able to comment. I see that book 9 in the series has just been published, so I guess that I have some catching up to do!<br /><br />Thanks for the great reviews.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.com
