One for the Money

Summary: Great book
Review: This book was hilarious. I just started reading the Stephanie Plum series a few days ago and I'm already done the 1st three books. The only reason I haven't read the other two yet is because someone else has them out at the library right now. I even have the 6th on e on reserve and it's not out yet. I'm the 13th in a line of 17 so that tells you how popular Janet Evanovich is. I would recomend this book to anyone.

Summary: Brilliant! I love Stephanie!
Review: New Jersey lingerie buyer Stephanie Plum is out of a job and has to go work as a bounty hunter, working for her cousin Vinnie, and rekindles a love-hate relationship with cop Joe Morelli, whose leg she once broke. Steph is WAAAAAY out of her element, confronting huge criminals and finding more comfort in the hairspray she carries than in her brand new (probably stolen) gun.

Summary: Absolutely Delightful!
Review: I can't believe I've waited this long to read Janet Evanovich's series... It took me about three pages to be hooked into Stephanie Plum's adventure, rooting for her and laughing at her mishaps. I think many of us can put ourselves in her place, walking into situations not knowing anything about guns or mace or self-defense, making the novel even more intriguing. I would also highly recommend the Thea Kozak series by Kate Flora (the first book is called Chosen for Death).

Summary: I have a new favorite author!
Review: Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels will satisfy most any readers thirst for mystery/suspense with the added joy of being a hilariously fun read. Grandma Mazur is a real trip!

Summary: BEG, BORROW OR BUY THIS WORTHY BOOK!
Review: If I were to choose a book of the year to recommend, One for the Money would be my bid....funny, with love and suspense ....nothing can be finer....except of course the rest of the series.....I'm just holding my breath until the next one is released in June! Once into this book, bills and bank accounts just don't seem to matter more than turning the pages of this must read book....Thank you Janet Evanovich and just keep on writing!

Summary: Great book -- perfect reader!
Review: I loved this one so much I went right out and bought the next in the series. The lead character -- bounty hunter Stephanie Plum -- is one of the most original and fascinating protagonists I've read so far. She's funny and tough at the same time, and Lori Petty "plays" her to perfection. I can't imagine a better reader for this book. I just wish it had been unabridged!

Summary: She told it like it really is out there.
Review: I am a writer of non-fiction and fiction myself and when I read One For The Money,I found it well written and with great characters. I had expected to find a super heroine type female bounty hunter, but instead found one that experienced almost exactly what a female of her build would encounter in the real world of bounty hunting. I would say, Janet really did her home work on this one. It held my interest enough I read it all in one day.

Summary: Big treat for Sue Grafton fans
Review: I read this book last week and was thrilled to find a new author I like. I'm a big Sue Grafton fan and I found Janet Evanovich's style to be quite similar. I read some of the other reviews on this book and can't understand all the comments about portraying women in a negative light. I found Stephanie Plum to be a strong female character. The reality is, this is a murder mystery type series and in murder there is violence. I think it's a great book and recommend it to all mystery fans
