Summary: What was she thinking?
Review: I love Stephanie Plum books. I love the humor. I love Grandma. But what was Janet Evanovich thinking? I think she wrote it in an afternoon, just stealing sentences from her other books, because there is really no story here. Don't waste your money; don't waste your time.

Summary: Check it out of the library!
Review: I loved every one of the 1-8 of the Stephanie Plum series and eagerly await #9. However, this Christmas novelette needed much more editing! It seemed to me that her editor decided - oh, about July-ish - that a Christmas Plum novel would be great to put out. Heck - it has a catchy title all ready! However, the novel is not fleshed out at all - both the storyline and the characters are weak. Janet Evanovich is capable of so much more. All in all, definitely not worth the price tag, but a quick and brainless read if you can get it at your library.

Summary: Janet Writes Junk
Review: I am a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum series but this Christmas
book isn't cutting it. It could be much worse though- read some of Evanovich's early works before the Stephanie Plum series. Evanovich- quantity doesn't mean quality and you set a high standard with your first 8 Plum books so keep it up to keep your fans.

Summary: HO Ho HO
Review: I laughed myself silly. The only problem I had with this book is that it is so short. I loved the new character (super hero, Christmas vision, whatever the hunka hunka burning love was). I loved the way Morelli could care less. I loved the way Stephanie was in a state of shock throughout the story. I loved the elves, and I especially love that Grandma got herself "sum." Gemme more, Gemme more, Gemme more!

Summary: what a waste of money and time
Review: This isn't a book; it's a double spaced long short story. It has no plot. It's just a string of events that the author tells us is charming. She must be chuckling to herself all the way to the bank that she convinced an editor that this is a book and convinced a publisher to print and distribute it. I can write a more entertaining story on a day when I have the flu! Don't waste your money buying it and don't waste your time reading it. Not only does it not deserve any stars, I want to take away stars from any books which happen to be unlucky enough to be in the vicinity!

Summary: Short but sweet
Review: So the book is short. So what? It's a holiday bauble, and it's fun. All the characters that we fans love are there and in good form. Read it, have a few belly-laughs, and pass it along to your Plum-loving buddies.

Summary: CHRISTMAS FUN WITH STEPHANIE PLUM
Review: I could care less if this was written to cash in the Christmas book trend. What I do care about is that it was another hoot of a Stephanie Plum adventure that, as always, had me laughing out loud. If you don't want to buy it, get it from the library. It really is a great, entertaining read!

Summary: Totally Enjoyable
Review: I was given this book in my Christmas stocking and sat down to read with great anticipation. I was not disappointed! Stephanie Plum's Christmas caper gave me a grin or two or three. It even left this reader with a little food for thought. If you love Janet Evanovich's off beat humour this is the book for you.

Summary: Not a Plum read
Review: Did someone kidnap Janet Evanovich? Was she imprisoned by hundreds of wicked elves who forced her to conceive and write this book overnight? As a fan of the "real" Stephanie Plum mysteries--which automatically means that I'm not lacking a sense of humor--I say let's get the authorities involved. Someone has to ransom Janet and bring her back to finish the series.

Summary: Get it From the Library
Review: I agree with the other reader reviews. This wouldn't have been nearly so disappointing had it been released as a paperback for$6.50, but it definitely was not worth the price paid. I've loved Steph and the whole crew but have been very dissatisfied with JE's recent works -- Sugarplums and Hard Eight.
