I Give It an F -- for Fun!January 2, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you read my other reviews, you'll see the other thrillers I've read recently have been horribly disappointing. It turns out Evanovich's METRO GIRL is a great deal of fun, just what I needed after reading some pretty ridiculous stuff by some other popular writers. But if I were to classify this as food, it isn't steak or lobster. It's more like that rich saucy rice dish you slurp off your plate before you even get to the main course. It's quite funny and, like a NASCAR race, it zips along and keeps you smiling. I'll have to start her Plum series. I bet it's even better!
Skip this oneDecember 28, 2006 Metro Girl is embarrassingly bad. Mismatch of plots, poorly developed characters and NASCAR man is so awful I felt like ripping out the pages.
Janet Evanovich is much better at writing older characters. She is out of touch or very dated when writes young characters. The older ladies working in the cigar factory are funny. The dog and cookie down the pants incident was juvenile and a lot of the other action puerile.
Alex (Barney) Barnaby is hard to like and the book is not sexy or very funny. It tries too hard and repeats the jokes over and over.
Skip this one and read either the early Plum series by Evanovich or go to another author.

I hesitated to buy this as I have not liked any of the Evanovich non-plum books, but I was on a cruise and found it in the library on ship. It is hilarious. Really funny. Read it.
