There were laughs, just not as many as I'm used to. Lula wasn't present for much of the first half (?) of the book and I missed her! Stephanie is still totally indecisive about Joe and Ranger. I think after 18 (numbered) books it's time to have her mind made up for her. The success of the books isn't completely about their unresolved "issues". There has to be more.

I wanted to be privy to what happened in Hawaii while it was happening. I think it would have been fun to be along for their Hawaiian adventures as they occurred for just a little while. Trenton is a "character", but other than Stephanie, no other character needs to be in every scene.

Wondering what's going to be happening in number nineteen...also, fairly excited about the motion picture, One For the Money, later this month.
