Thanksgiving - Pre- Stephanie Plum |
I looked for and found Janet's previous work before the Stephanie Plum series - and yes they are a good read and it has helped me to understand the origins of the Plum series. Janet is an excellent writer and from her early days at writing she manages to capture you into the story very early on. Thanksgiving is the first of the "old stories" so to speak that I had the chance to read. It is a light-hearted short story about jumping into the unknown and realising it is not too bad after all. Thanksgivig is a book abut a young lady who finds love in the form of a child only to realize that the man who she is helping look after the child with is ultimatly the one she wants and needs in her life.
As the story is centered around Thanksgiving the story also brings the funny side to pumkin, biscuits,turkey and family members that can see what is happening to the couple in the story and mayhem arises at the most inapropriate times.
I found this book a good read on the train going to work and if you can find Janet Evanovich's other stories, read them also - you will not be disapointed.
Plum Boxed Set 1 (1, 2, 3): Contains One for the Money, Two for the Dough and Three to Get Deadly(Stephanie Plum Novels) There are 14 novels so far for the Stphanie Plum series as of the 26/07/2008 |

I'm listening to the book on CD, and I don't think I'll be able to get through it. It is so sickeningly sweet it is making my teeth rot. The romance it totally forced and contrived - throw two people into a story and make them love each other for no reason. The plot is ridiculous and stupid. I've gotten as far as - girl loves/hates boy, boy loves girl, boy and girl get a baby shoved into their laps and decide to 'play house,' boy and girl are planning to cook Thanksgiving dinner. What is this dreck? |

Zzzzzzzzzzz |
I'm a big Janet Evanovich fan in general, but man oh man is this ever a dull book. It's virtually plot-free and has no supporting characters deeper than a wading pool. This is a very, very boring book that makes you long for
My other complaint was a personal one - I just couldn't warm up to the main character, who just seemed totally irrational. In fact, the whole 'plot' made little sense to me - what 30-year old adults torture themselves endlessly about whether or not they can stomach getting married after knowing someone less than a month? Suffice it to say that I was unable to suspend my disbelief.
If you're looking for a non-Stephanie Plum Janet Evanovich book, try that Alex Barnaby series or the "Full" series set in SC. Believe me, you'll thank me later. |

There is so much interest in these books and more keep coming. I read them and then have to wait for the next books. This was one. |

Thanksgiving |
Megan Murphy met new resident and pediatrician Patrick Hunter when his lop eared rabbit roommate Tibbles tried to turn her skirt into lunch. She met him again when she went to his home, and returned said rabbit after finding him unaccompanied on the street. While visiting with Megan, one of Patrick's patients Tilly Coogin came and left her baby with them stating she would be back as soon as she could to get him. Patrick was going to call social services to intervene because with his patient load, didn't have time to care for little Tim. Megan told him they couldn't do that to little Timmy, so she would baby-sit him during the day, and then bring him to Patrick for the night shift. It wasn't until after she got his agreement that she realized that was his plan all along. Patrick had ulterior motives, as he had plans of getting to know Megan's body much better! As they settle into a routine of sorts with Tim, both of them start feeling like they have a little family. When both sets of parents invade for Thanksgiving, Megan and Patrick really start to get attached and feel like they belong together. They even start planning a wedding. Then Tilly shows up, and both of them are devastated that they have to give Tim up. They start to wonder - is what they had real? Can their fragile relationship survive the loss of Tim?
Megan and Patrick were funny together, and the rest of their families complemented the looney bin nicely.
