I am reader. Not like, "oh yea, I read about 3 books a month," try three books a week. I am constantly found with my nose in a book (this contributed to my "school lampost experience"- see next post). My favorite bookstore is Half-Price Books, a store that buys and resells books for a fraction of the cost. About 6 months ago, I was browsing the new release section, when I came upon the bright yellow spine. It read "CURSE OF THE SPELLMANS" and I immediately pulled the book out and read the first chapter. I was hilarious. The opening chapter was a conversation between the main character, Izzy Spellman, and her mother, Olivia Spellman. This family was all PI's (Private Investigators) and if you think your family is dysfunctional, wait until you read this book. There are no boundaries that these characters wont cross, no drink Izzy hasn't drunk, and no cop in the entire SanFran area that doesn't know the family. Izzy, the middle child, followed her brother in what her family called "Old Izzy", where she did everything a doting mother would fear. Her older brother David, was the perfect oldest son, and the only one in the family that didn't go into the buisness (sp?). Then, 15 years the Jr. of Izzy is Rae, the smart, witty, annoying younger daughter who makes the reader want to wring her neck. Unfortunately, That day, I picked up the 2nd book, not the first. The first one is titled "The Spellman Files" and is a great read just like the other two. I recommend these books to anyone who is going to be anywhere with nothing to do, like say, on jury duty, in the bathroom, watching someone play golf, or tennis, both very boring. Again, these books are hilarious. Read them BEFORE they become a major motion picture. Because then, you'll just be jumping on the bandwagon like all the other losers who didn't take my advice. Why be like that?
