Summary: Another Great One from Evanovich
Review: I never get tired of these Stephanie Plum books and they keep getting better and better. Can't wait for #10!
Janet has a great way of mixing humor and suspense and tying it all together in the end. She is absolutely one of my favorite authors.

Summary: My favorite in the series...next to High Five
Review: What a tour de force from Janet Evanovich! To the Nines is so deftly executed. This series just keeps getting stronger and this installment has lots to recommend it.
In To the Nines Stephanie, Lula, and Connie fly to Las Vegas to kick some fugitive butt. The best part about the Vegas trip is that it doesn't forestall Stephanie's significant relationships, but is a mini-break in the book and gives Lula a chance to live large(r than usual.) Morelli and Ranger are present through at least three-fourths of the book to watch Stephanie's back in Jersey, engage her in wittily suggestive and affectionate repartee, loan cars, and provide bodyguard service. Rounding out the cast of characters are Morelli's mother and Grandma Bella, who more then compensate for a lack of funerals. Also included are healthy servings of Stephanie's family (with the expectant Valerie, kids, and Albert Kloughn) during dinnertimes.
Clean writing, setting-appropriate dialogue, not to mention Stephanie's quality time with Morelli and some with Ranger make this book one of the best of the series. Five stars!

Summary: Laugh out loud, addictive read...
Review: If you are not yet addicted to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series--you will be with this book. I started reading the series with High Five and Seven Up. Since then I've read them all and you should too! The series can be savored without worrying about reading in order, but I've enjoyed the tiny threads woven through each book even more by going back and reading from the beginning. Stephanie, a bounty hunter by default, is zany and witty. Her cast of characters includes a grandmother who loves to go to viewings of the recently deceased, an on-again-off-again boyfriend who is a cop, a sexy bad-a** bounty hunter(sometimes partner)named Ranger and his cast of merry men. (The mutual attraction between Stephanie and Ranger creates some interesting heat.) Through this series you'll meet her family, friends, and co-workers--and entertaining fugitives--all in technicolor vibrance. Don't miss this one!

Summary: Brilliant - clever, humorous & it even has a good plot
Review: Typically, the Stephanie Plum books are very funny, but a little lacking in terms of plot complexity. This time around, Janet Evanovich brings us a book as funny as she's ever written which also has a plot that is worthy of the mystery genre. Go Janet! Bingeaux! She does have Stephanie running all over the place in this installment of Plum's story - miraculously, though, Stephanie manages *not* to explode, incinerate or otherwise destroy her car this time; she does, however, seem to be blowing through Ranger's band of Merry Men, almost all of whom sustain some form of injury whilst acting as her bodyguard(s). Speaking of Ranger, he's back in true form - making suggestive...well, suggestions, close body contact, employing standard Ranger charisma...which Stephanie has a difficult time fending off. My mental image of this man is about as close to perfection as any man could possibly come - I think Evanovich has possibly created the sexiest fictional character - EVER. Lula also features prominently in the story, bouncing from one diet to another, until she settles upon the all-meat diet and carries around purses full of whole chickens, pounds of bacon and sundry other delectables - much to the delight of the local street dogs. Stephanie's family goes back to cameo roles, thankfully - the family home works so well as a break from the action, but when Evanovich spends too much time with Grandma Mazur or Mom, it slows things down far too much. There is quite a lot of drama happening with the family, though, and many laughs to be had, largley at the expense of poor, ready-to-give-birth Valerie, who is systematically eating her parents out of house and home ("you know how she gets when she's interrupted in the middle of a ham!") The gist of the plot itself is this: There's a serial killer around, or so there seems to be, and Stephanie thinks she knows where the killer is headquartered - a local business owned by three very different brothers. As she gets closer to locating key people (witnesses, friends and the man who skipped bond and fled town,) Stephanie finds them turning up dead. After their deaths, photographs of their bodies frequently find their way into her apartment, accompanied by flowers and a note insinuating that her turn will come soon. Naturally, this makes Morelli more than a bit nervous, and he and Ranger work together to ensure Stephanie's safety as best they can. Their work is cut out for them - throughout the story, Stephanie is shot with a tranquilzer dart (twice,) hit with a tazer, beaten up, stalked and finally taken hostage to be the rabbit in a sick game the killer wants her to play. Further, Morelli's grandmother keeps having visions in which she's dead. Stephanie's relationship with Morelli is in a very comfortable place in this book - things are looking like they may settle down together, as more and more of Steph's belongings find their way into Morelli's house. Bravo, Janet Evanovich! You've turned out an excellent story with _To the Nines_, and I hope to see more of the same sort of material in your next Plum book. Thank you for the laughs and the entertainment.

Summary: You can't go wrong with Stephanie...
Review: I have read all of the books in this series and they were each great reads. My sister kept talking to me about this series and I finally gave in and bought one. Then another, and then the next three. And before you know it, my best friend and sister in law are reading the series too! There is no way that you couldn't love Stephanie Plum! This is one woman who just cannot help but find trouble in everything she touches. It always ends up in a hilarious disaster. And all of the supporting characters are just bundles of entertainment. If you are just looking for pure entertainment and not alot of prose or scholarly writing, then this is for you. Give the first book a try and soon you will find yourself reading the last. I am anxiously waiting for the next to come out!

Summary: I love this series
Review: Lets face it, the Stephanie Plum books are not intended to be great literature. What they are intended to be great entertainment. Evanovich delivers thoroughly entertaining books installment after installment. I've read the entire series and would recommend them to anyone who likes to be amused by clever writing and interesting characters. I am eagerly awaiting the next in the series. These would be terrific beach reading.

Summary: Hooked On Humor
Review: Samuel Singh, in the country on a visa, has gone missing. Stephanie's cousin, Vinnie, had posted bond on Singh's visa and now she and fellow bounty hunter, Ranger, are charged with tracking him down. I don't read Evanovich's books for the plots (although, this was a pretty good one). The characters and the humor have me hooked. I wasn't one bit disappointed with this installment.
