This book is absolutely hilarious! I have showed it to four people, and all want a copy. . . MY copy. If you read it, be prepared to purchase several copies for friends.

The artwork is almost better than the translations.
Ohmygod, this book was just hilarious! Yes, I know, I read the other "review" by the person who hated it and thought it was three stooge-ish.
I laughed until I choked. From Lula sneezing and farting, to Martin Munch and his munchkins, it had everything: Ranger (soooo cool), Morelli (soooo hot), Carl (soooo funny), and Diesel (soooo other-worldly), it was a GREAT read!
I would recommend this book to any Stephanie Plum reader. You'll love it! See if you don't.

Did I want to read about a mob hit man? No.
Do I like violent books? No.
Was Frankie Machine the most violent of mob hit men ever? Yes.
Was he also the most sympathetic character ever? Yes.
Retired, out of the mob, so comfortable getting up before the crack of dawn every day to surf, selling his bait, trying to avoid his ex-wife, and bursting with pride as his daughter enters medical school, he just wants to be left alone. Does the mob let him? No.
Someone is trying to kill him. Many someones. And each and every killing in this wonderful book is wildly justified. I relished them all.
This one was even better than Winslow's CALIFORNIA FIRE AND LIFE.
