It appears enough of us have now read this to move the discussion out of the book thread.
**SPOILER WARNING AND DISCLAIMER**
By continuing to read this thread you are hereby accepting that spoilers WILL appear and you forfeit your right to complain about it.
OK - so, addressing spoiler issue #1 as presented by TR in the book thread: The ending. I have to agree that the last couple of chapters kind of collapsed. It was almost like JE went, "Oh carp, I'm almost to 300 pages - better wind this up now." I thought it was pretty good up to that point, though.
Now, MY issue with this one was: since when is Ranger smarmy and Joe the nice guy?!?! Did anyone else get the feeling that JE is setting Ranger up to be phased out somehow? I hope that's not the case, but she seems to be making his character less likeable lately.

On a side note (speaking of Lula's weight) - I laughed so hard I snorted when she got stuck in the car window. Now THAT scene was getting back to the silly, slapstick writing style that made this series so popular!

Yes Becca...that was hilarious!!!! Especially when she f**ted and then could fit through the window! I agree with you both on how quickly things were wrapped up. Anti-climatic actually but I did enjoy the book. For the record...if Ranger goes, I go!!!

Ummm, Pale, are you having a senior moment? Read the title of the thread!
Truff, I totally agree with you. The only thing I can think of is that Stephanie secretly desires the house with the white picket fence and she knows Ranger is not that guy. But, Joe Morelli probably is.

Or at least, Morelli is growing into that guy.

I'm ready to write the sequel. It'll be called Shake it Off! Sixteen In it, our heroine will finally rid herself of her mother's hold on her by forgoing the white picket fence and actually nab a criminal while remaining totally clean and unscathed. Meanwhile, her trusty sidekick, Lula will win 'Dance your A**' off and give Joyce a run for her spandex and spikes heeled boots. What'da'ya think? Should I pitch it to Janet to co-write?

It's awfully tempting to write a fanfiction that flips the ending. I mean....we'd all really rather have her turn up on Ranger's doorstep, right?

I was soooo hoping that Lula would hit Joyce with her tazer! Me too! And is it horrible that I was disappointed when Joyce finally did get shot and it didn't even blow out an implant or something? I mean come on...Joyce has *always* been the target of malice, why did she get a serious scene?

If there were to be a movie based on these books, who would you want to play the regular characters in the books?

I think Miss Congeniality (whoever played her) would be a great Stephanie; Queen Latifah as Lulu, and I dunno about the others.
