Summary: Excellent!
Review: Janet Evanovich is a supreme author, one of my favorites. This book is one of her best. If I had to rate this series of books, I'd say #1 is One for the Money, #1 is Two for the Dough, #1 is Three to Get Deadly, and well, you get the idea...THEY'RE ALL GOOD!

Summary: How much do we hate Joyce Barnhardt?
Review: Maxine Nowicki has skipped bail after a car theft charge made by her ex-boyfriend. Said ex-boyfriend wants some old letters back, there is much more to deal with for Stephanie, including gun-packing Grandma Mazur, new bounty hunter and evil "other woman" Joyce, who is the evil woman who was cavorting around with Stephanie's husband Dickie on the dinner table when Stephanie walked in. Stephanie's apartment is blown up and lo and behold, she has to move in with . . . Joe Morelli. Whoo!!! Can we say hot, people? I think we can!

Summary: Sexy Trenton
Review: The author uses more or less the same story lines as before. In order to make it less obvious, she introduces some new main characters. I loved Grandma Bella of Sicily - the counterpiece of Grandma Mazur. I hope the author will develop that side of the equation some more. I was somewhat disturbed by the all-pervading sex that was not necessary in such quantities and seems to serve only to tintillate. But then, it is done with great humor and can be forgiven.

Summary: Every book gets better than the last
Review: A few weeks ago I clicked on the icon for "High Five" by an author I had never heard about. All the reviews seem to say how good the plot was and how funny the book was. Since I hadn't heard of the author before I did what I usually do and find the earliest book by the author and start there. The early books are usually in paper back and cheaper. Generally an author develops characters along the way so that is what I did. I bought "One For The Money". Well I just loved it and quickly read 2 and 3 and am finishing "Four To Score". This is one of the funniest and most enjoyable series I have read. The only negative thing I have to say is that I have finally ordered "High Five" and when I am done I will have a long wait before the next novel comes out. If you havn't read any of the books I do recommend that you start from the beginning of the series and I hope you get as much enjoyment from them as I have.

Summary: The Best Yet!
Review: My Aunt told me about the Stephanie Plum series and said they were great. I bought them all and spent the entire New Year's weekend reading one after the other. They were all great, but Four To Score was the BEST! This book made me laugh until tears rolled down my face! Stephanie's 'thinking' process about "Mr. Lumpy" had me on the floor. Lulu's description of a guy who was visually challenged...blind?...no, ugly. Was hysterical. I was also happy to see that Stephanie and Morelli FINALLY got together, but not surprised that by the end of the book they were back to playing the on again off again game. Yes, I agree with all the other reviewers, Ms. Evanovich has to write faster! Thanks for the laughs, we could use more of them.

Summary: LOVE THAT STUN GUN!
Review: Four to Score was enjoyable by getting some background information about Morelli's family (and an even more intimate peak at Morelli himself)! All men should have to pass the Morelli romance quotient. It would produce lots of satisfied lasses. Glad Stephanie's enjoying him at last.My favorite character is Lula because she has a real go get 'em, knock 'em down attitude. Take that, Joyce! She can make even Stephanie look well-behaved. And yet, throw a little gunfire or a policeman her way and she rapidly evaporates. Definitely my kind of girl. I came into the Stephanie Plum series two years after the fact and have spent every available minute plowing through all that I had missed. I hope Janet starts putting them out twice as fast because I'll sorely miss having Stephanie (and Joe...) at my bedside each evening.

Summary: Entertaining...Could have been better...Still worth it...
Review: At the risk of appearing to be the dog in the manger while everyone else is giving this book glowing reviews I'm going to add my 2 cents worth. I've read all of the Stephanie Plum novels and felt that this one was the weakest of the five. While I always enjoy Stephanie's antics I felt that the author is introducing too many wacky characters. By novel #4 we now have crazy Grandma Mazur, flamboyant Lula the ex-'ho and now Sally Sweet the cross dressing rock star. It's beginning to look like a dog and pony show in here! I also thought that the central crime story was boring in this one. BUT, I still do love the Stephanie Plum character and the author's following book, High Five, was an improvement over this glitch so I'm giving Janet Evanovich my vote of confidence and looking forward to book six of the series. Bottom Line: Read Four to Score for the full Stephanie Plum experience!

Summary: Disappointed
Review: We have read her earlier books and enjoyed them, and were looking forwards to reading "four to Score". However when we did, we found that the OVERUSE of swearing,reliance on "characters" and possibly too much sex got in the way of the action (not talking about the sex! )We do like a good going story and sadly this was not.

Summary: Go, Grandma, Go!
Review: Of all the marvelous characters Ms. Evanovich has created, Grandma Mazur has to be one of the best. (Of course, let's not discount Sally Sweet. Now there's greatness------)But Grandma makes Grey Panther a meaningful term, believe me. The entire family, from speechless father to matchmaking mama, read true to life, but Grandma IS life. I hope she and Stephanie have many more adventures. It does keep a woman young - and a bit breathless.

Summary: The Best Read
Review: Just when I don't think it could get better...Janet does it with Four to Score...I loved this book. The characters are genuinely funny and believalbly everyday people, at least in my neighborhood. Thank you for the entertaining read.
