Rating: Summary: Stephanie Runs Amok! Review: Every time I read another book by Janet Evanovich, I'm amazed all over again. Each of her novels is better than the last. I didn't think that was possible after some of the scenes from High Five, but she's done it again. Stephanie Plum is up to all new hijinks. She manages to make really scary gangster types look ridiculous, get into bizarre situations involving sick dogs and FTA trekkies, and drive Joe Morelli and Ranger Macuso, two lady killers of the highest order, to handcuffing her for her own protection. It just keeps getting better from there. I give this one my highest recommendation. The only problem was the cliffhanger ending. Now I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Rating: Summary: Another hilarious chapter... Review: Another hilarious Stephanie Plum adventure! More destroyed cars and Grandma Mazur moves front and center. Will Steph and Morelli ever get a break? I can't go into details without spoiling the fun for other readers, but suffice it to say that I've been waiting a year for "#6" and I wasn't disappointed!
Rating: Summary: Another "Plum" for Evanovich Review: Evanovich left her devoted readers hanging at the end of High Five and she certainly delivers with the much anticipated follow-up, Hot Six. I wasn't out of the bookstore before I had found out who the lucky guy was at Stephanie's door. Hot Six is another hysterically funny, sexually charged, superbly developed novel. If you've never read any of this series, you need to start.
Rating: Summary: Another page turner! Review: As with the other 'Plum' books by Evanovich, this is a (too) fast read. Now we have another long wait until #7. Grandma is still a hoot! A few new memorable characters team up with the regular cast to provide some summer comic relief. Make sure you have a few uninterrupted hours when you start this book, because you won't want to stop reading until you finish the last page. The book is about a bounty hunter and her crazy family and friends. Throw in some romance; what more could you want! Not a cliffhanger ending like 'High Five', but I'm already waiting for #7. Can't you just picture these books being made into movies? If I wanted to be really picky, I'd complain about the men tailing Stephanie. They are supposed to have done some really awful things to people, yet they are bumbling idiots. Just don't think too hard about stuff like this, because then you can enjoy the humor. If you've read 1-5, get started on 'Hot Six'; if you aren't familiar with Stephanie, Joe, Ranger, Lula, etc., I'd suggest starting with 'One For the Money', so you can enjoy the other plots without knowing how they end. Happy reading!
Rating: Summary: Steph Plum is at it again- will she ever learn? Review: WOW! Hot Six picks up right where High Five left off, which is excellent, except Janet Evanovich leaves us all hanging at the end of Six as well... Excellent story line- TONS of laughs, and lots of tension with Morelli and Ranger. This book is an absolute MUST for anyone who read High Five, or anyone who wants a great series to read for the summer! Can't wait for number seven to come out!
Rating: Summary: Good...but not Great. Review: After reading High Five last year, I've been waiting impatiently for Hot Six to come out. But I was slightly disappointed. Maybe it's just my own personal idea, but I would have liked it if Stephanie had done more with Ranger. Joe is a nice guy in the book, he's sweet considerate and all that, but there's something about the mysteriousness of Ranger that appeals to me. So that may be the only reason this book didn't seem great to me. Sure, the whole deal with the Ramos family was interesting as were her other FTA's (Failure to Appear) but it just wasn't as involved as the others. All the side characters in this book were very realistic. Though too much seemed like just a lucky coincidence. I mean, what are the chances of everyone in Jersey, the The Moon Man & The Dealer would be involved with everything. The Moon Man was one of Stephanie's FTA's, he then helped her get a new car from The Dealer, Stephanie used to go to school with them, they decided to host a Star Trek party that another FTA just happened to be at, they were the ones that just happen to have the money that Homer Ramos was suppose to have(which is what started the whole Ramos murder thing), and Homer hadn't even given the money to them another side character was going to throw it anyway(not realizing there was money in the bag). Hot Six was a really good book, just not quite what I was expecting. In the others, I always finished the book thinking 'alright, when does the next one come out.' But with the ending on this one(which I won't say so I don't ruin it for those who haven't read it), it seems like there is going to be an end to Stephanie freedom to fantasize about Ranger. And I like Ranger too much to have him step back and be Stephanie's friend and only her friend.
Rating: Summary: Is 'Hot Six' too hot for you? Review: I, along with many other Janet Evanovich fans, have been waiting for over a year to find out the fate of Stephanie and which man she invited over. Well, I am not going to spoil that here, but you will not be disappointed! Stephanie is again up to her own unique bag of tricks in that her FTA assigned to her is none other than Ranger, the sexy bounty hunter that has taken Stephanie under his wing. She also encounters the usual problems of cars blowing up, being chased by a homocidal maniac, and GASP, Grandma Mazur has moved in with Stephanie and is gunning up to get her drivers license. For fans of Evanovich, this is a fantastic book! For the uninitiated, you really need to start this series, with 'One for the Money' and work your way up. Janet just improves herself with each book, and I literally end up laughing myself silly with tears streaming down my face. If you live in NJ, this is required reading! **Pandora
Rating: Summary: I Love this book :) Review: I just purchased this book today. I started reading it on the bus, and couldn't stop..it's that good. I have never read any of Janet Evanovich material before, but a friend recommended this book to me..I don't regret the purchase.
Rating: Summary: Smart and sassy thriller! Review: New Jersy Bounty hunter Stephenie Plum is back and better than ever, wiscraking her way through another set of seemingly unmanaigable circumstances, and unforgetable characters. We also find out which of Stephanie's studmuffins from "Highfive" she has chosen (Something I think most of us have been curious about). This book follows the tradition of the earlier books. I also recomend: "A Tourist in the Yucatan"
Rating: Summary: Too short! Review: As a longtime Stephanie Plum/Janet Evanovich fan I must admit to disappointment with Hot Six. Yes, it was a relief to know who removed Stephanie's sexy black dress at the end of High Five, but that's not enough to make up for the fact that the book is less than 300 pages and has (in my opinion) large-ish typeface and wide margins. That aside, it was the usual hilarious ride, including yet another car destroyed and the reappearance of the big blue Buick.
