Rating:  Summary: Best thing since sliced bread Review: I loved this book. I have read all five books in the series in less than a week. I can't wait for the next installment!
Rating:  Summary: By the end I was reading with every spare moment I had Review: My mom gave me One for the Money over xmas break and now I've ordered the next three in the series. I found the beginning tough to get through - the story was very candid about things I found somewhat offensive, but I stuck with it and was really happy with the ending. I remember that I didn't actually laugh until page 64. I knew it was supposed to be funny but was too busy being offended. I don't know what it was on page 64 but it was clearly funny to me - from then on I loved the book. Really loved this book is a must have if you enjoy mysteries. I also read J.A. Jance's JP Beaumont series.
Rating:  Summary: One For The Money Review: All the books by Janet Evanovich are fantastic. They are "laugh out loud funny". I haven't read any books like this since Donald Westlake,,,,he has now met his match!
Rating:  Summary: I Love This Series! Review: After reading so many recommendations on various mystery newsgroups, about Janet's books, I decided to check them out. I am on Four To Score now and am thoroughly enjoying them. A brassy, naturally funny bounty-hunter heroine, and two hot 'in the business' men. What more could a reader ask for? I have to say these books are my favourite discovery of 1999.
Rating:  Summary: Hooked-Always waiting for the next book to hit the shelves! Review: I have read all of the Stephanie Plum series and can not wait until the next one comes out. These books are a definate joy for anyone who has ever had a bad day go worse. When reading these books I try to be alone, not only to be undisturbed but also because I laugh so loud I disturb others. At a book signing I learned Janet is as funny in person as in her books, she comes by the humor naturally. Stephanie always finds herself in situtations due to her lack of a better career and her stuborn personality that will not allow her to listen to others advice. Stephanie is a very real character that is very easy to identify with even if you don't live life as close to the edge as she does. The stories have it all from danger, humor, sexuality, and moves so well that you carry it around hoping to find a few minutes to read just a little bit more. This whole book keeps you coming back for more with great characters that are humorous and outrageous, but could easily be someone you already know. One of my favorite characters is the grandmother that gets into just about as much trouble as Stephanie. Read this first one and I guarantee you will be back for the rest of the series.
Rating:  Summary: Funny, exciting and sexy a must read series. Review: I happened across Janet Evanovich by chance at the library looking for audiobooks to listen to at work and stumbled across an abridged copy of Four to Score. It was fantastic, but I hated being cut short, so I began reading the books(hardcover) and was hooked. After reading the books I got the unabridged cassettes to listen to at work and laughed until I cried. Stephanie Plum is great and as a woman I want to find my own Joe Morelli!! :) These books are a must read even if you don't like mysteries these are worth picking up! For those who love mysteries all the better:)
Rating:  Summary: Funny, exciting and realistic! I loved it! Review: Stephanie Plum is such a funny and realistic person! She has bad hair days, slouchy clothes, guy problems and money problems! Everything I'd expect to find in a good TV show! I've read all five books and love 'em all! Especially the bits with Stephanie and Morelli!
Rating:  Summary: A hilarious murder mystery to be read over and over! Review: One for the Money is about a woman named Stephanie Plum who got laid off of her well paying job. She is suddenly plunged into poverty within the New Jersey suburbs. When she finds work in her brother Vinnie's business, as a bounty hunter, she ahs no idea of what she's getting into. Especially when she realizes the Joe Morelli is her first case! As a small town, Stephanie and Joe's history go way back. Finally she figures out how to use her personality, wit, and charm to convince her small cases to go with her; all except Joe Morelli. I thought this book was very cleverly written! Janet Evanovich is a creative, funny author, and I personally could not put the book down. Stephanie Plum is very real, and she lives in a very realistic suburb of New Jerse. I would recommend htis book for anyone ages 15 and older. Only becuase there is some questionable content, would I put an age limit on it. I deinitely can't wait to read the rest!
Rating:  Summary: buy your copy and never let it out of you sight Review: if you do not enjoy these books(or fancy the pants of morelli)then you most definetly have a hormone missing.Forget all that nonsense about Bridget Jones and her Diaries..Stephanie Plum is the one and only star of the nineties novel. Long live Janet & Stephanie
Rating:  Summary: A Fast Paced Thriller! Review: There is no flab on Stephanie Plum, the heroine of Evanovich's funny, fast-paced, exciting mystery-thriller. And there is no flab in the book. Truly a rapid page turner. And laugh-out-loud funny with true to life, and yet outrageous, characters like Stephanie's mom and grandmother. I can't wait to read the other books in this series.
