Spellman Files Audiobook

" This was a fun read. I enjoyed that crazy dysfunctional Spellman family and their private investigation business. I will be reading more in the series. "

" The second time through was even better than the first! Forget president, I want to be Izzy Spellman when I grow up. "

" I decided to check out Lisa's solo books after liking Heads You Lose, which she collaborated on with an ex-boyfriend, with each of them writing every other chapter. I didn't care for this nearly as much, it seemed to plod along, with many unnecessary, mundane dysfunctional family background details and the protagonist's failed relationships. I didn't find it particularly funny. The main mystery element didn't surface until a couple hundred pages in - if you stripped out the fluff it would be a much shorter book. Towards the end the protagonist ironically states "I won't bore you with the rest of the conversation." Too late...why stop now? I won't be continuing with the series. "

" Seemed promising, but really dumb. "

" his series is hysterical...very worthy "

" I would have given a five but lisa killed uncle ray, that too at the end, It would have been better if she had killed him off due to cancer at the beginning, Thats my only minus point in this book "

" Fun, madcap novel. "

" I love these characters! Smart, funny series "

" Loved this book! The only reason I gave it a 4 was because there is language and drug and drunkedness, all written in a way that just makes Izzy look the fool.. But it was hilarious, wonderfully entertaining!I'm completely hooked on these books now! "

" Loved the main character, didn't really like the structure in that the story starts at the end and the entire way hints at a terrible tragedy about to occur, which spoils the fun tone of the novel. I think I'll enjoy reading the other books in the series though. "

" This is the first book of the Spellmans and the second one I have read. I would recommend reading them in order. This is really the introductory book. It's funny and fast-paced and a good read if you don't want to concentrate too much. "

" Everybody should read this whole series. Hilarious. "

" Let's go with a 3.5. Funny and clever and interesting. I like it when I get a free Nook Book and it pays off. I would love to be a fly on the wall with this family. Definite characters. "

" Fantastic series - smart and funny, keeps you expecting the unexpected. Love them all! "

" This is the first book in the series. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the 2nd book. The family is very interesting and all of the characters are engaging. "

" Read a few years ago...but it was super funny!! I completely recommend the series! "

" it was different I hAVE the next one I will let you know how that one is "

" Witty and entertaining! The story moves along rather quickly. It's a fun read especially when you need something to just smile about. The characters are well developed, too. "

" This was a fun & quick read. "

" I'm really enjoying this book. The characters are wonderfully written. "

" 3-1/2 is probably more accurate. Fun tale, interesting characters, witty writing. "

" Hilarious! Its been a while since i read a book that made me laugh so hard it hurts "

" Really good book! Super fast read. I was done in a couple of days. Nice to read something so quick once in a while. I found myself laughing out loud at times. Love the author. "

" I love this book! Absolutely recommend! "

" Finally got to read the first of the Spellman novels, and I was actually surprised at how *angry* Izzy was in this one! Although the ending of the case Izzy was trying to solve only surprised me slightly, overall it's a fun and relatively quick read. "

" Quite possibly the worst book I've ever made it all the way through. Should have dumped it by page 100. <br/> <br/>Schmaltzy, incoherent, inconsistent, poorly written. Full House meets Miami Vice, minus the fun and nostalgia. "

" Very funny and entertaining. A quick read. "

" good action but the main thing is that it is a hoot! "

" A quirky family of private investigators. I wasn't too thrilled witht he narrator of the audiobook, so I'm hoping they changed the narrator for the other installments in the series. "

" When I first started this book I was skeptical... but then I got sucked into the weird style of writing. At first, I didn't really like how it was laid out, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book and where it went. "

" a little Janet Evanovich but think entire dysfunctional family detective agency. Liked it--a bit slow starting but a good read. want to read a few more. "

" This is light reading to be sure, but it is hilarious light reading. "

" funny surpriseing the ending was a totally unexpected "

" If you're looking for a crime novel, this is not it. I wouldn't even go so far as calling it mystery. But it was a fun quick read and while I'm in no rush to read #2, I'm sure I'll check out more by Lutz in the future. "

" Tried it once before and couldn't get into it. Seems good now... "

" This was a good light read. However, it took some time to understand the chapter arrangements. I laughed a few times but was also annoyed by the main characters parents following her all the time. Worth a read if you are looking for a good beach book (when the weather improves). "
