Summary: Love that Plum
Review: OH MY GOD! Can I tell you how much I love this book? How can you go wrong with a heroine so funny, sassy and Jersey. I have read all ten Stephanie Plum novels and have enjoyed almost every one (the christmas one is not so great, only read it for the fact that it moves the character relationships along for To The Nines). I can't wait for the next. These were so good, I gave them not only to my mother but to my grandmother to read as well and they both loved them. All three of us being from New York and familiar with "Jersey Girls" makes these books that much funnier. Read these books. All of them. Well... maybe not the Christmas one.

Summary: "One" To Read!
Review: After reading Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Katherine Coulter's FBI series & so on for years, I wasn't sure if Stephanie Plum could hold my interest when a friend insisted I read this book. However, I read it in 2 sittings, not wanting to put it down! Yes, it's a much lighter read than the other author's, but it's got a lot of humor & fun. The characters are so colorful that they often make you picture someone you know in your mind. Very entertaining & enjoyable. No wonder it's such a popular series, & should be made into movies!

Summary: Not bad
Review: I was recommended this book by my mother and never would've read it otherwise, but it wasn't too bad. It's definitely not action-packed, and why people call it hilarious, I'm not sure, but it is a pretty good story. I read through it in just a few days and never lost interest. The characters are all interesting, especially Stephanie and the Ramirez character, who seems to be based on Mike Tyson. I wouldn't really call it a mystery though. I never felt like there was anything I needed to figure out. We just go along for the ride with Stephanie as she bumbles and stumbles her way through her new job, eventually finding her way. She's trying to make some money and get back on her feet. The fact that she solves a crime in the process is incidental. Not really my kind of book, but I can understand its popularity. I can see how a lot of women could relate to Stephanie. I might even read another in the series.

Summary: The world of Stephanie Plum
Review: ONE FOR THE MONEY by Janet Evanovich ONE FOR THE MONEY is the first in the popular series by Janet Evanovich, featuring Stephanie Plum, "bounty hunter". In this first installment, we meet Stephanie who is currently out of a job and is desperately fighting poverty. She's sold most of her appliances and furniture to bring in a few dollars here and there, but she knows that sooner or later she needs to get a job, fast. When her car is repossessed, that is the last straw. Her mother informs her that cousin Vinnie has an opening in his office, so when Stephanie pays him a visit, she also finds out that she could bring in some big time cash if she worked for him in a different capacity. Her old "friend" Joe Morelli is on the run and wanted for murder. The challenge was calling out to her and because of some childhood memories she had of Morelli, bringing him in was even more enticing. Stephanie knew that he was her answer to a new life and $10,000. But first she had to learn the art of being a bounty hunter. I found this book funny and very light-hearted, despite some heavy themes that were running through the book. An aggressive boxer who craved violence helped give the book its atmosphere of suspense and fear. But on the other hand, her attempts at making it as a bounty hunter helped lend a humorous feel to the book. I am giving this book a thumbs up, as it's very entertaining and did not pretend to be more than what it was: a very humorous look at world of crime.

Summary: You Can¿t Help But Love Stephanie Plum
Review: Evanovich has created a monster. But Stephanie Plum is a cute, spunky monster who's scared, fearless, independent, vulnerable, sexy, smart, ditzy, sophisticated, goofy, and a whole pizza box full of contradictions. But she's a lot of fun. Stephanie's a New Jersey girl who's out of work and short on possibilities. So she asks her cousin Vinny, a bail bondsman, for work. Right off the bat, Steph decides to bring in Joe Morelli, a man nobody else has been able to haul in. Of course, all she can see is the money it'll get her - $10,000. It's not quite as easy as she thinks. Stephanie's Nova just barely moves, requiring a quart of oil every 15 minutes. She doesn't have a clue about using a gun, tracking FTAs (Failed to Appear), or how to apprehend one if she finds one. Plus a boxer is determined to inflict a little torture on Stephanie...just for fun. Evanovich's first Stephanie Plum novel does a great job of introducing readers to Stephanie, her wacky family, friends, and life in New Jersey. Quirky, funny, and always entertaining, Evanovich has successfully kept the thrill in thrillers, the mystery in mysteries, and the fun in following a character we can really root for.

Summary: I'm Plum puzzled why this series is so popular
Review: Having seen the popularity of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum mystery series, I decided to try the first book, One For The Money. It was readable and cute in places, but not interesting or fun enough to entice me to read any more in this series. Stephanie Plum, Evanovich's protagonist, is thoroughly likeable and accessible. She is firmly middle class, sometimes straddling blue and white collar segments. Although Plum is planted in Trenton, NJ, I (firmly planted in Houston) could easily relate to her sensibilities. There are enough regional references to keep the characters and setting from being anonymous or generic and to make the story appealing to a wide range of readers. Still, I found the plot terribly forced, with way too much beginner's luck for Plum (in her first assignment tracking down people who jump bail). There are enough calamities that pop up to keep the story moving, but Stephanie always seem to get out of these scrapes by the occurrence of some minor miracle. It's a quick, easy read and worked well for me while on the exercise bike. Would probably be good for bus/train/carpool commuters as well. WARNING: the edition I read contains several pages at the back of the book which give previews of the next books in the series. If you DO choose to follow this series, be forewarned that these pages give some details you might regard as plot spoilers!! Don't look for me to be reviewing any more in this series: I'm off to enjoy some Harlen Coben and Michael Connelly mysteries now!

Summary: Stephanie Plum is Unique.
Review: The main character's hilarious in this panicked, fast paced novel that can be, at times, a little hard to take in large doses. Stephanie Plum is currently out of a job; she got laid of at E.E. Martin as the discount lingerie buyer. In order to get back her car and most of her furniture, and to pay the bills on her less-than-great appartment, she blackmails her cousin Vinnie into giving her a job--as a bounty hunter. What can she say, she REALLY needs the cash. How Plum thinks she's going to pull this off, and how she actually does are almost so funny, it's too much. She's got guts though. Her first assignment, for $10,000, is to find Joseph Morelli, the first guy that she ever had sex with in high school and later tried to run over with her car. Now, he's a cop, and one being wanted for murder to boot. Can a girl whose own grandmother is a better shot than she is actually succeed at catching this guy? Or will her $10,000 go down the drain? -Embyr Bradson (10/19/03)
