She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. He mother's convinced she'll end up dead...or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thought it would sound good to put it that way...) It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum...except that she becomes the target of a gang. And the target of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger out of town (and Stephanie on the outs with vice cop Morelli), she finds herself alone, with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it-if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment and Janet Evanovich is the best there is. Amazon.com Review Stephanie Plum, girl bounty hunter, the terror of Trenton, the bane of her boyfriend Joe Morelli's existence, and the delight of her crazy grandma's heart, is in the wrong place at the wrong time--as usual. Just happening to be indulging her nachos jones at a local deli when it's robbed by the notorious Red Devils, Plum is the eye witness who could put the gang leader, known as the Junkman, behind bars... if he just lets her live long enough. Looking for a place to hide out from the killer until the cops catch up with him, Stephanie sneaks into her fellow bounty hunter Ranger's apartment without telling Morelli, who's not overly fond of him. All the usual suspects in this long-running series are along for a wilder than ever ride, including Lula the gun-toting ex-hooker, Grandma Mazur, Stephanie's pregnant sister Valerie and her fiancé, as well as a host of minor characters who bring Trenton's seedier environs to life. Ten Big Ones is another madcap caper by a writer whose fans will doubtless catapult this easy beach read to the top of the bestseller list. --Jane Adams From Publishers Weekly Evanovich is at her best in her 10th Stephanie Plum adventure (after 2003's To the Nines), which reads like the screenplay for a 1930s screwball comedy: fast, funny and furious. The Trenton, N.J., bond enforcement agent (bounty hunter), accompanied by her trigger-happy friend Lula, an errant file clerk, is after a quirky collection of bail-jumpers—a man who killed a neighbor's rosebushes relieving himself on them, a drag queen musician/school bus driver accused of assault, and a woman who claims she robbed a Frito-Lay truck because she hated her low-carb diet—when she witnesses a convenience store robbery. Unfortunately, Anton Ward, the holdup man, learns that Stephanie can identify him and puts out a contract on her. After she tells her colleague Ranger her predicament, he offers her sanctuary. As usual, she's torn between sexy Ranger and her longtime lover, cop Joe Morelli, with whom she's living. The rollicking plot, replete with car chases, family squabbles, massive doughnut consumption and a frantic, wacky finale, keeps the reader breathless. As usual, Evanovich's eccentric characters—fun-loving Grandma Mazur, anxious to accompany Stephanie on her job; self-absorbed sister Valerie and her hapless fiancé Albert Kloughn (pronounced Clown); Sally Sweet, the transvestite who shows a talent for wedding planning—are a treat.

Do not you type of hate how we have entered the decadent period of Goodreads where perhaps fifty % (or more) of the opinions compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually naked and unabashed in their variously effective attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoke Don't you kind of loathe how we've entered the decadent phase of Goodreads when perhaps fifty per cent (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now naked and unabashed inside their variously successful attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were evenly plainspoken, only practical, unpretentious, and -- especially otherwise -- dull, dull, dull? Don't you type of loathe when people claim'don't you think in this manner or feel that way'in an effort to goad you both psychologically and grammatically into accepting together? In what of ABBA: I actually do, I actually do, I do(, I actually do, I do). Properly, as the interwebs is just a world in which yesteryear stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we could review yesteryear in its inviolable presentness any time we wish. Or at the least till this amazing site eventually tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in their entirety. I've destined it with much string and dragged it here for the perusal. (Please understand that several a sic are intended in the next reviews.) their actually complex and silly! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at least that book is good! There you've it. Refreshingly, not really a review written in among the witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Statement Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Merely a primal scream unleashed to the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation with an economy and a clarity that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies he designs problems... which can be the case, for several I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you don't want to read is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it was supposed to be read, then it would be a novel, not a play. Together with that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for each character for a few pages). None people had browse the play before. None folks wanted to learn it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that looked like they weren't paying attention. All this compounded to produce me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And it also really can fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the author and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to read plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to read a play then you definitely have sinned and are likely to hell, if you believe in hell. Or even, you're planning to the DMV. I'm also fed up with all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists together with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, this indicates offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow in your petty linguistic rules. Artistic concept may free of charge on its own irrespective of how you try to help shackle it. Which is your sign, Aubrey. In this thoughts and opinions, a participate in Macbeth ended up being the particular worste peice at any time written by Shakespeare, which says a great deal looking at furthermore, i study his / her Romeo in addition to Juliet. Ontop connected with it is really presently fabulous plot, improbable characters and also absolutly discusting group of ethics, Shakespeare freely portrays Lovely lady Macbeth as the genuine vilian from the play. Looking at she actually is mearly the particular style within the spine spherical and also Macbeth him or her self is actually truely doing the particular repulsive crimes, which includes killing along with scam, I really don't discover why it's so effortless to visualize which Macbeth would likely be willing to perform good as opposed to wicked doubts her partner had been extra possitive. I do think that your perform is definitely uterally unrealistic. However these is definitely a ne plus super regarding classic book reviewing. When succinct and also without distracting inclination to help coyness or cuteness, Jo's evaluate alludes to your animosity and so profound that it is inexpressible. One particular imagines a handful of Signet Traditional Updates broken in to to chunks using pruning shears throughout Jo's vicinity. I dislike this play. Because of this that will I am unable to possibly provide you with just about any analogies and also similes as to how much I not like it. A strong incrementally snarkier type probably have reported anything like...'I dislike this specific have fun with such as a simile I am unable to come up with.' Not necessarily Jo. Your lover articulates any raw, undecorated simple fact unsuitable regarding figurative language. Along with there's certainly nothing wrong using that. As soon as inside an incredible whilst, when you buy neck-deep with dandified pomo hijinks, it really is a pleasant wallow from the pig compose you are itchin'for. Thanks, Jo. I like you and your futile learning with similes in which are not able to technique the actual bilious hatred in the heart. You might be my verizon prepaid phone, and also We're yours. Figuratively discussing, associated with course. And from now on here's my review: Macbeth through William Shakespeare is the best literary function inside British words, along with anyone who disagrees can be an asshole along with a dumbhead.
