Loren

A funny and amusing satire of James Bond and The Avengers, etc. to include special gadgets; the matriarch (mother); Q; fancy sports cars; and imaginative villains. The narrator has a slightly bored, ho-hum quality that perfectly fits the "been there and done that attitude" of Eddie when he describes his fantastic exploits, family, and abilities. To anyone else it would be fantastic - but to Eddie it is just life as usual and nothing out of the ordinary. During the action sequences the narrator picks up the pace and sounds excited, alarmed, surprised, etc. The women's voices are not perfection, but I was never in doubt as to who was speaking and I did not find it irritating.

The book was a great "listen" and I enjoyed it very much. It would be great to have a sequel and find out how Eddie handles the family. If you are looking for a fun book that will make you laugh and feel good when evil is outsmarted, this would be the one.

I must admit I bought this book because the title was so intriguing. I am so glad I did. The narrator was perfect and her interpretation of J-Lo's voice and speech mannerisms was great. I laughed so many times and if you are wanting a book that is entertaining, light-hearted, and very easy to listen to, then this should be one of your choices. It's not a pulitzer prize winner and it doesn't solve the problems of the world, but it does bring to light the tendency we have to "buttonhole" people and make snap judgements about people based on outer appearances, etc. This is the book for you if you just want to be entertained and have a happy time.
