To write for television, you have to create a memorable scene and finish it within 90 seconds. That's tough for comedy because you have to end each scene with a laugh. As wonderful a novelist as Janet Evanovich is, there's an even better script writer hidden inside her novels.
In Eleven on Top, Janet Evanovich has created a memorable scene and laugh every page and a half. That's very tough to do, but she's done it!
Although most will not want to put the book down (who wouldn't want to laugh almost nonstop to the end of a book?), you can read this book before going to sleep knowing that you'll reach a naturally breaking point every page and a half.
Much of the humor is visual. It's a remarkable strength of the writing in this book that you can so easily see the slapstick. Few writers can capture slapstick in writing. Eleven on Top marks a new high in Ms. Evanovich's talent in this regard.
If you don't know Ms. Evanovich's writing, it's very much on a par with the very best scripts that Lucille Ball used in her shows with Desi.
Oh, yes, there is a plot. But it's there mainly for people who cannot enjoy a book without a plot. Almost any other plot would have done as well.
Stephanie finds that bounty hunting is just too disgusting for her . . . and quits Vinnie. For the first half of the book, she lurches violently from one job-related adventure to another. In between, Lulu persuades Stephanie to "assist" in capturing a particularly recalcitrant scofflaw. In the second half of the book, she finds a job she likes . . . but it has other complications that you'll love reading about. Someone is also stalking Stephanie and threatening her life. Morelli is obsessed with Stephanie's body . . . and Stephanie finds she "likes" the attention. Under duress, Stephanie swears off sugar . . . with sexy consequences. The sexual tension in this book is really hot! In her spare time, Stephanie also plays "maid-of-honor-to-be" for her sister with more humorous consequences.
The story has a better balance between the Ranger and Morelli sections than many of the others in the series. I generally like the books that have lots of Ranger in them better than the ones that are all Morelli or crime fighting. Ranger's mystery is more appealing to me than Morelli's lust.
If you like sexy humor, I thought that Eleven on Top was a new high for Ms. Evanovich as well. The flirtatious comments are wonderful!
Smile while you laugh and laugh through your smiles with Eleven on Top!
Don't miss this book!!! It's the fun read of the summer of 2005.

Another fantastic episode in the crazy world of Plum. Yet more fantastic tension from the Ranger/Morelli quandry. And with Lula at large in the world of bounty hunting absolutely hilarious from start to finish! Roll on number 12!!!

Format:Hardcover
Finally the eleventh book is here, having read the whole book in just under a day and a half i was plesantly surprised with this one. It was far better than Ten Big Ones which was really disappointing!!!In this one Steph has alot more interaction with Ranger (which will thrill all the babes and annoy the cupcakes), there are a few laugh out loud moments in the book and i actually think Lula gets all the best lines!!!However i did get the feeling that the author is going over alot of old ground, and the series needs to end soon the love triangle between Ranger, Morelli and Steph is becoming a tad repetitive!!
Nevertheless those who have been waiting since the last book will not be disappointed in this one!
