Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
5 journalers for this copy...
From the white heat of Miami to the implants of LA, the glittering waters of the Caribbean to the deserts of Arabia, Olivia Joules pits herself against the forces of terror armed only with a hatpin, razor sharp wits and a very special underwired bra. How could a girl not be drawn to the alluring, powerful Pierre Ferramo, with his hooded eyes, impeccable taste, unimaginable wealth, exotic homes across the globe and a rather dubious French accent? But is it possible that Ferramo is actually a major terrorist, bent on the western world's destruction. Or, is it all just a product of Olivia Joules's overactive imagination. Join Olivia in her heart-stopping and hilarious quest to save the world in this witty, contemporary and utterly unputdownable thriller.
Well.. it's a very silly book. But strangely, most of the time, it was fun to read!
What I didn't like, was the superior way how Olivia was often treated by the author. But hey, it's the autors book.

Another book that caught my interest at today's meetUp...
I had so much fun with this book and with Olivia Joules. I guess she hit a nerve, she was just what I needed. Perfect lecture for holidays, very witty, carefully written. I would like to read more about this crazy heroine ;-)

took it home from the meet-up
read it last night, it was entertaining but also a very silly story. Exspecially the bits about Al Quaeda!
But then I liked Olivia and her sense of adventure.

I found the book in a castle in Switzerland in October 2006. I took it home with me to London and forgot about it until today when I stumbled across the book and decided to help it on its journey. Sorry it's taken so long to get going again.
