Summary: I couldn't stop reading!
Review: I have finally found author that has me in hysterics for most of the book! Janet Evanovich paints such a vivid picture of her characters and allows you to live vicariously through them. She can't write them fast enough.! I am anxiously awaiting Stephanie Plum's next adventure.

Summary: Unputdownable! An excellent read!
Review: Janet Evanovich has just acquired another fan after reading One For The Money. This book was recommended to me by one of my reading buddies. "Try Evanovich. You'll like her. I'd bet money on it." That's what she said to me. So I stopped by the local library and checked out Evanovich's first novel because I was told to read the books in the order they were written from first to last. I started reading the book late in the evening and couldn't put it down. The wit and humor Evanovich displayed in her two characters, Stephanie Plum and Joe Morelli, was some of the best I've read to date. The plot was fabuluous, even though I almost had it figured out before getting to the end of the story. Still, I enjoyed every minute I devoted to this book and highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery novel with a fresh approach. I'm headed to the library now to return this book and hope to pick up "Two For The Dough". I have great expectations for another excellent read and I doubt Evanovich lets me down.

Summary: !!!!!Outstanding!!!!!
Review: Janet Evanovich's One for the Money was an excellent book! Meet Stephanie Plum, out of a job, and out of money. Meet cousin Vinnie, bail bondsman. Steph plus Vinnie equals bounty hunter. Her first assignment: bring in ex-cop Joe Morelli who is charged for murder. But bringing in her old high-school friend is harder than it looks. They characters Stephanie meets are one-of-a-kind and Grandma Mazur will make you cry with laughter!! With so many twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing!! So find a comfortable spot and start reading!! I finished reading this in two days, so see if you can beat me!! After you finish reading this, and are still quite interested in what happens next, then read book two, Two for the Dough. Happy Reading!!!

Summary: My New Guilty Pleasure
Review: I am not usually one for paperback thrillers, but a friend whose judgment I trust said I absolutely HAD to read the Stephanie Plum books. I will love her forever for it!!
Janet Evanovich doesn't just concoct outrageously twisty plots; her work is also witty and her writing style enjoyable. Unlike the stilted dialogue I've seen in the few similar crime novels I've thumbed through, Evanovich's prose crackles. Her fashion-impaired, lovably inept heroine could never be played by Meg Ryan (keepin' it real -- a plus in my book!). The brassy, bawdy Stephanie Plum is the embodiment of every woman's most secret fears about her employability, love life, family and body, but despite her often-depressing circumstances in regards to the aforementioned fears, she manages to save the day and (sometimes) get her man. The characters are crisply drawn, never caricatured, and the plotlines are interesting if not always unpredictable. I've read two ("One for the Money" in one sitting, which happens very few times in a given year) and can't wait to get my hands on the rest!

Summary: Funny and fast paced
Review: I did not get bored with this book at all. It sucks you right in and you don't want to put it down until you are done. Stephanie Plum is a hillarious character; you really feel like you get to know her. There is the mystery, the comedy, the romance, everything in one awesome book. A great start to the series. I will be reading the rest of them.

Summary: More please!
Review: This book had me laughing out loud on the bus to work. All I can say is that it was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. Not only was it funny but there was not a dull moment. I finished it in 4 days. I simply could not put the book down. The Shocking twists and turns and the chemistry between the two main characters kept me on my toes. I can not wait to get book two.

Summary: Fast paced, Funny, FANTASTIC!
Review: Ok, so I judged this book (well, the whole series actually) by the cover....I love the bright colors and the clever titles! I read this book in one sitting and laughed all of the way through! Stephanie Plum and her "adventures" with Morelli and the "bad" guys were fantastic! I never knew what to expect around the corner (which is a problem for me with Mystery/Thrillers) and I was intrigued the whole way through! Heck, after reading this, maybe I could become a bounty hunter! I loved reading about the dinners with her parents, her pistol-happy grandmother, and her "romantic" encounters with Morelli (the boy who seduced her back in her school days). HIGHLY recommended book! I can't wait to read the second one and hope that Stephanie can get her guy!

Summary: This annoying "Jersey Girl" grows on you
Review: Stephanie Plum's New Jersey venacular is accurate as well as her intimate knowledge of the byways and culture of Trenton NJ. At first, this is irritating. Almost like listening how your sister-in-law from Paramus would decide to take on an extreamely dangerous career, "just to make the rent". However, as the book progresses, the Evanovich's character slowly transforms before our eyes.By the end of the book we are pleased to see that Stephanie has become a fairly effective (and damn lucky) recovery agent, without losing the charm that never fails to remind a fellow native of New Jersey of what it's like to live in the Garden State.

Summary: Stephanie Plum will keep you coming back for more!
Review: This book was an excellent introduction to Janet Evanovich's newest character Stephanie Plum! All the characters and subplots are a riot! You must keep reading to find out what happens next and make sure you have Two for the Dough ready to start reading as soon as you finish One for the Money! You'll need more Stephanie Plum, Joe Morelli, Ranger and Grandma Mazur!

Summary: You WILL Laugh Out Loud
Review: I have found my new favorite author and fictional charactor. Stephanie Plum is intelligent, witty, funny, and vulnerable at the same time. The supporting charactors, especially Grandma Mazur, provide comic relief as Stephanie hunts down her man (or woman). Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series are simply put, excellent. Highly recommend grabbing all 8 books and go on a non-stop reading binge. You'll love it!
