So, I loved the first book in this series, Big Pickle, so I was very excited for this one. Unfortunately this one just didn’t work as well for me. The books was really so much about tanning and tanning and tanning and tanning. Yeah, I get that it’s a big part of bodybuilding, and that it was one of the character’s jobs to do the tanning and the other one was a bodybuilder, but it just got really old for me after a while. It’s not that this wasn’t still a good story, I mean I loved the characters, and loved the Pickle family glimpses we got. But overall I was just a little bit disappointed with this one. I’m still very eager to read more about the other brother in his book, but this will just not be my favorite. And on a sidenote, I really don’t care for the guy on the cover of this one either. I like the paperback cover so much better.
