Rating: Summary: Too short - Series going Downhill Review: I was disappointed in this book. Sure I got a few laughs, and it was an entertaining way to spend 3 or 4 hours - but it is another step down as far as I'm concerned in a series that started out great.It was way too short (lots of white space and a big font made it appear to be a normal sized novel). As well, the plot was too easy. It seems like Janet Evanovich is counting on putting in a laugh here and there, and hoping that will be enough. Well, in my opinion - it's not. Needs more plot development. I hope the next one is better, or I am finished with this series.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious & A Terrific Read! Review: Janet Evanovich gets better with each entry into her Stephanie Plum series. The laughs are aplenty. The new characters are zany -- a doped up friend from the nabe, Mooner, and a goofy dog, Bob. The old ones, like Grandma Mazur, and Vinnie, get funnier AND more complex with each book. Evanovich not only supplies laughs. She plots an intricate thread, and we get to unwind it along with Stephanie. And this is one of the best mysteries in the wonderful series. Can't wait for Seven!
Rating: Summary: Great Reading, AGain! Review: I was not disappointed with this latest book. All of the usual characters were back, Grandma, Lula, Morelli, Ranger. I busted out laughing on a number of occassions while reading this book. I finished the book in a day and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: Summary: Very good, but... Review: I was a little disappointed in no. 6. The preface was hype for a series that doesn't need it. The story was very funny-- but I am beginning to feel like I'm watching a half hour comedy series that comes out once a year and never goes anywhere.
Rating: Summary: Hot Six? You Betcha! Review: Once again, I read Evanavich's book so fast that I will have to twiddle my thumbs for a year to get my hands on the next one! Read them in order, read this one alone, but READ THIS SERIES if you love your heroine to be just as confused about life as the rest of us are! Stephanie deals with it all in this book -- a gorgeous cop, a mysterious "friend", two of the three stooges following her, a trekkie convention, a grandmother with no license...but a red corvette, a DOG and a HAMSTER! Throw in her buddies at the Bail Bond business, another car disastor or two, and a friend to talk down off a bridge and you have HOT SIX! It's a great read! My advice is to go to the library, the bookstore, get online, and get the first five books! Read them in or out of order --- you won't be able to NOT read all of Stephanie Plum's adventures and you won't be sorry!
Rating: Summary: A Real Laugher! Review: Hot Six is the best in the series (so far!). The cliffhanger ends right at the start - I am not telling and goes into one after another. There is a particular part that I laughed out (louder than others) and it has to do with a drive-up window. I am already waiting for #7 - be sure to enter the "name number 7" book on Ms. Evanovich's website! Fun, fun and more fun!
Rating: Summary: SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY... You won't put this one down Review: This book, from the very first word, until the end, you won't be able to put it down. I enjoyed the surprise beginning of someone who was caught shoplifting some crotchless panties to the climax of the book. Never once was I disappointed; never once did I put it down until I was finished. A surperb summer read.
Rating: Summary: Funny, fast-paced mayhem! Review: Very highly recommended! Stephanie's new FTA is...Ranger? Yes! Ranger's in hiding because some people think he killed Homer Ramos. Steph decides to help him. He decides Steph needs rescuing from herself. Now and again, he gets a little fresh. No worries: Morelli is still in the mix. The hilarious Grandma Mazur has words with Mr. Plum and moves in with Steph. Are the streets safe when Grandma Mazur decides to get herself a driver's license? Heck no! This is the funniest Plum book yet. I'm enjoying the stronger presence of Ranger in these books. I hope he'll be just as interesting in the next Plum installment!
Rating: Summary: Hot Six by Janet Evanovich Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I didn't agree with Stephanie's choice of men because I was rooting for the other guy, but that's just a matter of choice. However, what really disappointed me was that this book didn't have any depth. It feels like an installment or chapter that was rushed out to the public in order to answer the burning question at the end of High Five and to be a bridge to the 7th installment. As in the rest of the series, parts of this book are laugh out loud funny; once again Grandma Mazur and Lula are hysterical, and I love Bob; but a couple of funny scenes don't make a book. For me Hot Six didn't really advance the series, once the "which man was it" question is cleared up (and that's only given 2 pages), we're really no further into Stephanie's life than we were before.
Rating: Summary: COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Review: I DID NOT WANT TO FINISH THIS BOOK BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR JANET'S SEVENTH BOOK....I CAN'T STAND THE WAITING...BUT THIS BOOK WAS JUST GREAT....GRANDMA MAZUR AND THE DOG BOB AND ALL THE LIVELY CHARACTERS MAKES THIS SO MUCH FUN TO READ. WHEN WILL STEPHANIE GET HER MAN? I HAVE READ ALL OF THEM AND THEY JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER. THANK YOU JANET EVANOVICH.
