Summary: Just buy it!
Review: Unless you are one of those people who doesn't like funny, easy to read, action-packed novels with mystery, hot guys, scarey characters, and a really cool bountyhunter chic, then this book is for you. This novel can be enjoyed by just about any adult who can read. I guarantee that you will not be able to put it down. In fact, go ahead and buy all of the Stephanie Plum novels right now because once you get started, you'll be ticked if you have to wait for the next one to come.Just buy it! What do you have to lose? You'll love it. No one I know who has read the Stephanie Plum novels HASN'T loved them.

Summary: Hang on for a wild romp of a book!
Review: I don't know why I waited so long to get into the Stephanie Plum series. I think maybe it was because I had read in the reviews that she was a bounty hunter, and didn't think that would interest me. What a mistake that was! This book is a great read! I really didn't want to put it down. Stephanie is so real and funny that she is a joy to meet. The book is action-packed and certainly keeps the reader's interest right up unitl the stunning conclusion. Stephanie finds herself doing apprehension work in order to make some money to keep food in her fridge and to pay her rent. She isn't prepared for the dangers that she faces while she's out to capture her old nemesis, Joe Morelli. Stephanie finds out that she has to learn to use a gun and to carry nerve spray in order to defend herself from the bad guys that her new job puts her in contact with. This book is full of surprises, right up to the very end when Stephanie finally gets her man (in more ways than one). I can't wait to read the others in the series.

Summary: Awful
Review: I had heard a great deal about how wonderfully humourous this series is, so I decided to start with book number one. What a mistake. I am not amused by either junior high humour or violence against women. I found this to be a dreadul book with a sophomoric plot and a degrading, violent, abusive view of women. I did not finish it and will never read another book by this author. I stongly suggest no one else do so, either.

Summary: Audio Book is great fun on a long drive
Review: These books have been a lot of fun. I drive a lot in my motor home. So, I also buy the Audio Book, preferably unabridged if available. Unabridged is rarely available. The publisher changes readers three times over the series. The reader of the first 3 books sounds more like what I imaged that Stephanie might sound like, but didn't have the range of voice to Vinnie, Morelli or Ranger very well. The next two readers are much better doing all the voices

Summary: Even a guy who reads Sci-Fi loves these plume books!
Review: OK. I'm a guy. I was waiting for the next Star Wars, Tek War or Tom Clancy book to come out and needed something to read. I borrowed OFTM from my wife who had borrowed it from my office manager. Of the 3 of us, I was the first one who has read all 9, so I guess you'd say I was hooked. But guys, listen! Stephanie Plume is cool! She isn't Laura Croft. She's a girl from the burgh who needs a job and goes to work for a scum bag cousin vinnie. No, not that cousin Vinnie. This Vinnie prefers rubber duckys to a woman like Marisa Tomei I think. Well Vinnie owns this Bail bond business and needs Stephanie to bring in those who skip out. Fortunately she's got this Cuban... His name is Ranger... x-?Seal?, X-CIA??? Man mountain hunk to help her now and then. Then there is Morelli. He is a cop. Stephanie just can't decide what to do with Joe Morelli. Oh my, I haven't gotten to her family. Granny is my favorite. Each story does conclude a specific story line, but Evanovich keeps the story movie linearly alone a straight time line into the future. So what you get is an evolving character and evolving relationships with great continuity. And best of all you feel like you're your friends the Plumes with each novel. Oh ya, she also has trouble with cars! These books have been a lot of fun. I drive a lot in my motor home. So, I also buy the Audio Book, preferably unabridged if available. The publisher changes readers three times over the series. The reader of the first 3 books sounds more like what I imaged that Stephanie might sound like, but didn't have the range of voice to Vinnie, Morelli or Ranger very well. The next two readers are much better doing all the voices

Summary: Good entertainment
Review: Ok..so if you are looking for serious literature, drop the Evanovich series this instant!!
But if you want an entertaining, funny book to fill a couple of lazy summer afternoons...this book will provide that.I enjoyed it a lot ......and when I find myself in the mood for not serious literature again I will hit the next one in the series

Summary: Is it me?
Review: I wanted to like this book. If I liked it, then I'd have all those sequels to look forward to. But I couldn't get past the first chapter. Glib, smart-alecky, first-draft-feeling, it just felt too loose and unedited, un-thought-out. No style. More like a boilerplate for people wanting to make a quick buck writing easy paperback mysteries. I skipped around in the book after that, but nothing caught my attention. I even finally read the last few pages, but all I realized was that I would never be able to endure this character for a whole book, much less a whole series. Stephanie Lemon, I'd say.

Summary: BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!
Review: I was really late to jump on this bandwagon, I know, but I really did love this book. I have known about the series for a long time, and it's always been one of those books on my "I'll get to it one day list", but I am glad I bumped it up to the top! I am not a mystery lover, but this one was different. Lots of humor, laugh out loud sarcasm and a great story to boot! What more can you ask for? For those of you who are into romances, and chick lit books, try this one for a change of pace!

Summary: Fun
Review: This book is a fun fast paced yarn that is great if you want a simple no think book. It truly is a "no brainer" designed to purely entertain.
