DO NOT BUY THIS "BOOK" !!!!!!!!! At barely 100 pages with so little text it wouldn't qualify as a short story, this piece of tripe is nothing but a sad attempt to separate you from your money. Even if you're a graphic novel fan, there is just NO value for your money here.

In my opnion, it's not worth the money. More pictures than dialogue.

Not really crazy about the comic book style but anyone that loved comic books as a child would probably like this one.

This is the worst book I have ever finished. It took about two hours to read the whole thing. It's a comic book! It's terrible. I was so disappointed.

As a fan of the first two books in this series I was SERIOUSLY disappointed when this one arrived in my mail. I had it re-posted to swap within 30 minutes of opening it. I am not sure why Janet went from a book to a "comic book" type book in a series!

I was rather disappointed to find that this "book" was actually a hardcover graphic novel (or comic book). I enjoyed it, but I would not have bothered ordering it if I had realized what it was. It was a very quick read.

Hey, folks, it's a graphic novel. The comics are nice, but there's an average of 14 words per page (yes, I did a sampling), and that includes "Gasp!" and "Eep!" and the phone going "Briiing!"

I found the Troublemaker graphic novel at a used book store for 75% off the cover price. I am certainly not the world's biggest Janet Evanovich fan but I suspected I might find the graphic novel entertaining.
The plot and characterization where easy to follow and I didn't feel lost with out previous exposure to these characters or storyline. As mentioned, there is very little dialog or script in this book. Much of the action, like a thrown Voo Doo Doll triggering an explosion, is represented within the art work which fills each page comic book style.
It was a very quick read, which I did enjoy, and now I will be hunting for the second volume of the Troublemaker graphic novel.
