First Grave on the Right

I put off reading this book because the main character's name is ridiculous. But it had four stars, so I eventually gave it a try.

I almost DNFed, but stuck it out because it's short. It wasn't good, though. The main character speaks only in snarky quips, which are funny, but we never get any insight into her emotions, what she's thinking, or who she is/what she wants. So in the end I just didn't care what happened to her. Does she die? Does the get the guy? Whatever.

It felt so much like a setup for other books, too, and that annoys me. Even in a series, I feel like each book should be able to stand on its own as a good, unique work, not just a prelude, but this one didn't meet that goal for me. Two stars because I learned the phrase “Is a frog's ass water tight?” from this book, but that was really the highlight for me.
