This is pretty much exactly the kind of book I expected Richard Castle to write. It's funny, it's short, and it has many sentences that start with "And." It also has more name dropping of consumer items--perfume, booze, etc--than any book I've read in recent memory.

That said, this book was an incredibly fast read, and I enjoyed the whole thing. It did prompt me to wonder, though, if I were Kate Becket, and I read this book, how on earth would I face Richard Castle at work the next day? It's like finding out your work buddy writes slash about you that he posts on the Internet. :)

I'm not sure I would recommend anyone buy it, but to check out from the library or borrow from a friend? Sure!
