Reading this I had the movie soundtrack blasting in my ear and the infectious laugh of Axel coming through the pages. Axel will be back with his old friends/cops in Beverly Hills getting information anyway he can, getting shot at and shooting back, stealing cars, getting into the Playboy Mansion, pretty much saving the day and having a jolly old ride along the way. The book capsules the movie really well.

(FYI I tend to only review one book per series, unless I want to change my scoring by 0.50 or more of a star. -- I tend not to read reviews until after I read a book, so I go in with an open mind.)

I'm finally going through my physical tv, film etc. tie in library owned book list, to add more older basic reviews. If I liked a book enough to keep then they are at the least a 3 star.

I'm only adding one book per series (etc.) and I'm not going to re-read every book to be more accurate, not when I have 1000s of new to me authors to try (I can't say no to free books....)

------------
How I rate Stars: 5* = I loved (must read all I can find by the author)
4* = I really enjoyed (got to read all the series and try other books by the author).
3* = I enjoyed (I will continue to read the series)
or
3* = Good book just not my thing (I realised I don't like the genre or picked up a kids book to review in error.)

All of the above scores means I would recommend them!
-
2* = it was okay (I might give the next book in the series a try, to see if that was better IMHO.)
1* = Disliked

Note: adding these basic 'reviews' after finding out that some people see the stars differently than I do - hoping this clarifies how I feel about the book. :-)

I enjoyed the movie somewhat and the book is much lie the movie. This is more of the experiences of Axel Folley as a policeman. This book was short and didn't demand a lot of concentration.

This is a pretty solid, by the numbers adaptation of the movie. Not really a lot in the way of extra plot or dialogue, but it’s well written and follows the movie well.
