Book 31 of 26 -- Double Tap by Steve Martini

I just finished reading the last Steve Martini book that he wrote and I was SOOOOO happy with it.

Double Tap was a return to the courtroom dramas that I really liked AND it featured the character of Paul Madriani, who I also really like.



I am happier than the Jerk at the gas station.

"Attorney Paul Madriani defends a highly decorated soldier on trial for murder and unwittingly steps into a maze of secrets and lies that the United States government - and possibly even his client - would rather leave hidden and undisturbed. "

I found this book to be entertaining and somewhat educational. It was a tremendous read.... even though my library version of the book weighed something like 6 pounds.

The library only had one copy available for me to read and it was the LARGE PRINT version. The book before large print was something around 450 pages, but when it was converted to LARGE PRINT, it was over 700 pages. I felt like I was reading IT by Stephen King all over again.

Double Tap is a fun read and it marks the end of my current Steve Martini reading... oh what will Steakbellie do without The Jerk jokes to make?

I can't tell ya... and I don't wanna.

I always feel a bit guilty when I read the large print version of a book, because I picture some old person (senior citizen) struggling to read the normal print because I have the library's only copy of large print.

On a seperate note, I'm looking forward to reading the last few Martini books myself.
