Irish Cream, by Andrew Greeley

[maribou]

This latest in the Nuala Anne McGrail series was more tightly put together (writing/plot-wise) than the last of his O'Malley books was, so I didn't have to feel even a smidge guilty about liking it. Really enjoyed it, excellent escape/refreshment reading.

Well, it's nice to know that the latest one was better...I quit reading them just because they became so obviously formulaic. I know he has a formula; he's admitted that there's a formula. But they've just been so formulaic, I wasn't enjoying them. I didn't read the most recent O'Malley book, either. Right now, I'm reading Piers Anthony.

I'm not sure it's any less formulaic, but the last O'Malley book was almost sloppy, it needed editing so badly. This one was a lot tighter.

Ironically, I used to read a lot of Piers Anthony but stopped because they were so formulaic. I kinda miss the non-Xanth ones though. Maybe I should look into what he's been up to lately.

I'm reading the Incarnations of Immortality, which are just different enough to make me happy. I mean, they're all fighting Satan, but everybody has a different way to do it and they tie in kind of neatly.

Irish Cream sounds a lot like hibernian bukkake.

Yeah, yeah. That'd be a very different sort of book.
