I keep seeing references to how great her books are and they are on all
kinds of lists but when we had a couple of them in pb, we had patron
complaints about the bad language. Has anyone else had complaints about
them?

Yes, she uses raunchy language, but the books are hilarious if you can get past the language.

No patrons at our library has complained, and there are very few times that
you can find the books or the audiobooks on the shelf. These books have
whipped like a big wind through our library staff and word-of-mouth just
keeps them going.

No complaints here at all. The language is raunchy, but seems to fit in the
story well. They are very popular and rarely on the shelf. People are staring
to ask about Seven Up (due out this summer).
