Summary: Wacky, witty and FUN!
Review: Evanovich just keeps getting better and whackier! This is a book to read and enjoy, while Stephanie Plum is a heroine that just keeps getting better. I consider everything Evanovich ever wrote to be a keeper and this is no exception. If you haven't read the first 5 books, I strongly recommend them before reading this one but Evanovich does a good job of letting you in on things without the prequels if you'd rather not. Let me say that Janet Evanovich is excellent at characterizations and very true to type once she has developed a persona. For a rollicking good time and a heroine who is remarkably easy to relate to, there aren't many books out there better than these. It is a pleasure watching this character develop and her secondaries are just yummie icing on the cake.

Summary: stephanie plum
Review: janet evanovich definitely has a winning style and heroine. each book is worthy of the original which is not the case in many, many sequels. she keeps stephanie fresh and introduces enough new characters to not let the series grow stale. the only adverse criticism is that she should let stephanie grow a little smarter as the series continues. this time i was a little disappointed when it took her so long to capture munson. evanovich could have keep the humor intact without letting stephanie be too much of a klutz. i find myself getting irritated after stephanie bombs too many times with the same perp. she needs to carry her gun if she's going to hunt down murderers.

Summary: Hot Six is really Hot!
Review: I laughed audibly thru every chapter of this halariously funny and highly suspensful murder mystery. She has a writing style that is simple, easy to follow and a story that is hard to put down until the reader has all the answers.

Summary: Another Funny Winner!
Review: This is the sixth book in the Stephanie Plum series, New Jersey's hysterical bounty hunter.
In this book, she is asked to pick up Ranger! Her friend and fellow bounty hunter, her mentor Ranger, who is also sought by the police for questioning in the murder of an organized crime figure. Can she do this and go after her friend? Stephanie believes Ranger is innocent and if anything, only kills bad guys. Joe Morelli, gorgeous cop friend, is here in all his glory and the end was very surprising from Joe. Stephanie's hysterically funny grandmother has moved in with her. This totally ruins Stephanie's sex life!
A cop friend has asked her to dog sit while he goes on vacation, and doesn't return to take the dog back. Move over Rex here comes Bob! A new character emerges, Mooner. Mooner is an always stoned guy and funny. He adds considerably to the laughs in this Plum mystery. This is a very entertaining series. I have never laughed out loud with any book as I do the Plum series. The pages really turn as they are truly delightful reading. Hot Six is no exception, it is a 5 star book!

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: Janet Evanovich cut her teeth writing romances, and I'm glad she never broke through to superstardom in that genre. I'm glad she switched to mysteries. This entire Stephanie Plum series is great, and HOT SIX thrills me. This entry in the series features all the usual suspects, bounty hunter Stephanie's witty quips, and an offbeat plot. Evanovich is the best thing to come from New Jersey since Bruce Springsteen.

Summary: OK, I'm hooked!
Review: A friend introduced me to Evanovich by making me read a few passages about Bob the Dog in Hot Six and Seven Up. They sounded pretty funny, so I went and bought One for the Money to try them out. I'm not generally a mystery reader, I find them pretty boring. OK, I'm hooked! Stephanie Plum is the best new female protagonist in my world! I finished books one through six in record time, and am borrowing Seven Up from my friend because I just can't wait any longer! Definitely a good buy! Hey, Janet, can't you write any faster?

Summary: Move Over Rex, Here Comes Bob!
Review: OK, let's do some serious character analysis here. We all know Rex, the hamster with deep thoughts and an outstanding soup can. He has been integral to every plot, sometimes putting himself in true danger for Stephanie's sake. But in this book, the heroic, taciturn Rex is eclipsed by a new animal: Bob the dog, who is given to eating everything in sight, including Grandma Mazur's two boxes of prunes (with some truly spectacular results). What does this mean for Rex? Is the author trying to tell us that dogs are better than rodents? We shall have to wait and see... Bob, of course, belongs (sort of) to Stephanie, she of the bad hair days, and in this outing, a pimple the size of Cleveland (which doesn't help her mood). Stephanie is bunking down with Rex, Bob and her new roommate: Grandma Mazur, 75-going-on-16, a hot mama if there ever was one. Unfortunately, Grandma's presence deep-sixes Steph's on-again, off-again sex life but good. Did I mention sex life? Hot and sexy Morelli and hot and dangerous Ranger both want Stephanie, only there is a glitch or two: Ranger is wanted for murder. And Morelli is seeing more of Grandma Mazur than he ever wanted. Of course, ex-ho Lula is back in fine form, all 250 luscious pounds of her, as is Stephanie's arch-rival Joyce, and some new people as well: The Mooner, a definitely way-mellow dude; his sidekick The Dealer (don't ask); and some inept goodfellas who are tailing Stephanie. (PC alert here: Written well before the events of September 11, 2001, this book contains a caricature of a Pakistani villager who has joined his American counterparts in crime. Many of his bon mots would have been hilarious if not for recent events. Be warned, and take it as no more than the comic relief it was meant to be.) The plot itself is a bit loosey-goosey, even for a Plum novel. But who cares? These books are so rich in humor and priceless characterizations, the plot is always secondary. In this case, it's probably tertiary. It involves two crime factions who have trod on each other's turf. Ranger may or may not be a player in this war, and Stephanie, of course, is up to her teased-up hair in trouble. There are as many laughs as ever. A hint: Grandma comes in at 2 a.m. from a heavy date. As Stephanie's mother genuflects repeatedly, Grandma explains just why she is so late. No more spoilers...get the book! I'm on my way to Book Seven!

Summary: What an imaginative suspense writer!
Review: Janet Evanovich's series with Steph Plum just keeps getting more and more hilarious and fun! Janet has the ability to draw characters like few other suspense thriller writers of her genre. I particularly enjoy the fact that they don't have perfect hair or leap over tall buildings in a single bound, but instead they find themselves in ridiculous situations that bring them the humanity and commonality that is so frequently missing in suspense novels. There is none of the perfect chisled characters who are wise beyond belief. But instead, we get Plum, her granny, her sexual desires, her cousin Vinnie, and failed attempts that make for great reading escapes and enjoyable entertainment. Be careful not to read this one in a public place because you'll find yourself bursting out loud with laughter and either someone will wrestle it away from you or they'll clear extra space for you. Who cares! Enjoy this "hot" sexy read and then get on to the next one.

Summary: Murder and Laughs - A great combo
Review: This is a great book. Ranger is wanted and everyone thinks Stephanie will lead them to her. So as she drives around looking for him, she has a following. To top off that, Grandma has moved in and is hampering her on and off romance with Joe. This is a wonderful book. This series is wonderful. I have enjoyed every one of the Stephanie Plum books. I think that I have woken my husband up laughing out loud while reading every one. Just thinking about them makes me laugh. Even the dog is funny. My mother and I discuss them and all we have to do is mention a character and we laugh.

Summary: Six Kicks!
Review: By far my favorite of the series -- although I haven't read Seven Up yet! I think this one gets more interesting, because Stephanie's relationships with Ranger and Morelli get more steamy! The suspense was great, and the characters were too. I just couldn't live without Lula - Steph's sidekick either! Once again, good job Janet! Trying to savor the seventh, because eight isn't out yet!
