Summary: The Thinking Person's Mystery
Review: I have read all of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum mystery series. I have a great time reading her mysteries. They are fun, funny, and entertaining. Her novels are very quick reads: you'll be done in less than two days. What is also great about her novels is that you could read them over and over and not get tired of them. I always look forward to her next Stephanie Plum book. I WILL especially look forward to her next one after HIGH FIVE (you'll understand when you get to the very end). Attention JANET EVANOVICH: keep up the good work. Your novels are WONDERFUL, and what I call the "THINKING PERSON'S MYSTERY."

Summary: Each a winner in itself
Review: I have read all of Ms. Evanovich's other Stephanie Plum books and I just have to say, "I LOVE THEM!!" Ms. Evanovich's style of writing and ability to conjure up the story-lines that she does are just a couple of the reasons why her books are among the favorites in my collection. Any author who can keep me glued to my seat for hours at a time just to see how it's all going to work out in the end deserves MUCH praise. Keep up the good work Ms. Evanovich. I hope you comtinue to produce many more Stephanie Plum books in the years to come....I just don't know how poor Ms. Plum is giong to survive them all - but she will, I'm sure of it.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS PURE ENTERTAINMENT!!!
Review: I was one of the lucky ones to get my hands on an advanced copy and tore right into it. The plot and characters are more plausible than recent Stephanie Plum plots and is as good, if not better than, "One for the money". The only drawback is that I'll be disappointed when I see it on the bookstore shelves and realize I've already read it. If only Janet could crank 'm out faster.......

Summary: A Plum of a tale
Review: New Jersey-based bounty hunter Stephanie Plum must wonder what terrible deeds she performed in a previous life because her life is definitely spinning out of control. On Monday, Grandma Mazur insists Stephanie needs to find Uncle Fred, who vanished on Friday while going to the store. Stephanie quickly realizes his disappearance appears almost certainly linked to a corpse in the garbage bag. If family trouble is not enough to throw one off their food, Stephanie must bring in Randy Briggs, a little person, who refuses to make his mandatory court appearance. Instead, he challenges Stephanie to try to bring him in, a not so easy task. Than there is the Mafia wedding, she cannot refuse to attend. Of course, Stephanie's wardrobe is basic Salvation Army reject, leaving her in need of a new outfit. The fifth appearance of Stephanie Plum is a warm, extremely humorous "days in the life of a bounty hunter" novel. The story line has several jocular subplots that blend together in a terrific tale. Stephanie remains a plum of a character. Her family, friends, and assorted acquaintances add a Joisey taste to the book. A HIGH FIVE with a double twist goes to Janet Evanovich for providing an entertaining novel and series that leaves readers laughing from start to finish. Harriet Klausner

Summary: HOT!HOT!HOT!
Review: Janet Evanovich does it again! For all of you who have been waiting for the next annual installment in the Stephanie Plum (mis)adventures, you will not be disappointed in HIGH FIVE. Stephanie is at her best, the family (including Dad) is as uproaring as ever, but the mysterious Ranger starts coming alive. You won't want to put this one down - so grab a copy, disconnect the phone, and read non-stop from cover to cover.

Summary: Great Fun! Another Stephanie Plum Winner!
Review: I've read all of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels and must say I look forward to every one with bated breath. While we're not talking about the "Great American Novel" here each and every one is an enjoyable read. Any woman can imagine herself bumbling through Stephanie's predicaments which must be the key to having a best-selling novel. If I found myself a bounty hunter I could easily imagine myself being afraid of my gun and keeping it in the cookie jar! I thought the introduction of the Ranger romantic complication was great. Joe Morelli needs some competition! Like the other readers who reviewed this book I can't wait for #6 to see who was waiting at the door in the end (although I wouldn't kick either one of them out!). My only caveat with the book was I thought the wrap-up of the crime story was a little too quick. One scene with the bad guy and all the loose ends are tied up. It was a bit of an anti-climax. But don't let that discourage you from reading High Five and hurry up Janet! We're waiting for #6!

Stefanie Plum is a fantastic charachter, she is so real you can practically see her walk down your street. This book is well written, well thought out and will keep you guessing to the end.

Summary: New directions for Stephanie Plum
Review: Stephanie Plum seeks some different work to pay her bills, and goes to work for Ranger in some of his enterprizes. In the meantime she is looking for Uncle Fred who has disappeared. Fred is a tightwad who was disputing a bill from a trash collection company, and wants a $2 refund because they missed collecting one day. That sets off a chain of events resulting in various murders and an attempt of Stephanie's life. As usual with Stephanie, there are several plots intertwined including Ranger's enterprizes, her work as a bounty hunter for her cousin Vinnie, her search for Uncle Fred, and her love life. It is a fast moving plot, and I found it more interesting than the previous novel in the series.
