I just finished all three Jim Knighthorse books back to back. Though at the beginning the main character irritated the hell out of me, he was also very funny and with time really grew on me. The author's writing is mostly fluent, a few grammar mistakes here and there but nothing mayor. Though in the second book one character's name was first Walt Tomlinson and the next page he then was Gary Tomlinson. Then on the third book Knighthorse is talking to the detective Hansen and then Hansen turns into Sanchez and back to Hansen again. Wasn't a big deal, kinda funny that the author and the editor didn't catch that though. There were also some really hard subjects for me which was the finning of sharks and what was used for bait. There were times I cried because animal cruelty is the most horrible thing in the world for me and even though I know this book was fiction, in real life the scenario described in here does exist for real. I did love how the main character dealt with it though :)The author did a wonderful job in adding humor throughout the book. There were plenty of parts were I just laughed out loud.On another note, it surprised me a bit that the main crime, what scarred and changed Knighthorse, was just so shortly dealt with. In all books Knighthorse deals with 2-3 cases at a time but all the other cases got far more attention than the one that was most important to him.Overall, I liked all three very much. His friends Sanchez and Jack are wonderful additions to the book and I will read the fourth one as soon as it is available.
