Summary: Stephanie Plum in Pearls???
Review: Because that's what the narrator sounds like, I can imagine a champagne glass, designer dress and pearls on Loreli King, but not on Stephanie Plum. of course, I'm talking about the audio book. I was lucky enough to discover the Stephanie Plum series on audio book #4, followed by 5 and 6, all narrated by Debbie Mazar. I remembered her immediately from some lawyer TV series a while back so even the picture fit. I enjoyed them immensely on long drives where the laughing kept me awake. They were those rare books where the voice matched the character. Debbie Mazar is ultimate Stephanie Plum, carrying it off with gum chewing, wise-cracking perfect Jersey style. The story itself is still good as the previous one, but do yourself a favor, buy the book, not the audio tape! Janet, get Debbie back, no matter what you have to offer!!!

Summary: Listener Beware
Review: Stephanie Plum everyone's favorite semi-heroine, does it again, a great story. Just do your self a favor and save your money and buy the paperback book, not the audio tape. It never fails, they get a good reader, get you hooked on the stories, and for some reason they throw the baby out with the bathwater, they change the narrators. This one is the pits. I enjoy the audio books as I travel. The reader makes an enormous impact on the feel of the story. This lady ruins the story. I had to force myself to listen to the whole thing, in spite of her terrible narration. Please save your money. "Listener Beware"

Summary: Flat. . .Flat. . .Flat
Review: I have read every Plum novel and this one was a stretch. It seemed to recycle every "old" joke from the first 7 novels. Janet what happened? It seems that your ending was convenient because you did not know how to end the book. Personally I kept wondering where this was really going. Hope # 9 will be better

Summary: Another Plum masterpiece !!!!
Review: Again Evanovich hits gold with her lastest installment in the Stephanie Plum saga. My sides hurt from laughing so hard. Will Joe ever speak to her again? What will happen with Ranger? Evanovich keeps the suspense high and the comedy rocking. Can't wait for the next !!!

Summary: Janet has beat this dead horse enough
Review: I loved the first six books. Seven was... It contained material that seemed to be recycled from earlier books and detailed descriptions of Bob's poop. We went from Bob's poop to Bob's puke. Not much improvement at my house. If there is a dumber main character than Stephanie Plum, I've missed the book. She is such a colossal screwup and gets worse at being a bounty hunter instead of better. I wasn't surprised that Ranger broke off the affair after one night. Stephanie is incompetent at everything else, this seemed to be more...than a passionate affair. Kloughn would be more her speed than Ranger or Joe. Stephanie has gone from cute, endearing, gutsy to boring, incompetent, and about as smart as her grandmother who has also lost her charm. Book eight is more original than seven. For that I rated it a 2-star, but it wasn't worth the price of the book.

Summary: Hard Eight - Unabridged Audio
Review: REVIEW IS FOR AUDIO ONLY!!! I have all of the Stephanie Plum series in hardback and audio. I can't wait for the next book to be released. HOWEVER, I didn't even finish listening to Hard Eight. The narrator read Stephanie Plum like she was a private school graduate. She was too precise and definitely didn't come from the 'burg. I was extremely disappointed in this audio. If Lorelei King continues to narrate Stephanie Plum, I will no longer purchase these on audio.

Summary: Great but not her best
Review: Hard Eight was great; however, it was just slightly under par for the Stephanie Plum series.

Summary: Where is the Jersey accent??????
Review: Half the fun of listening to the Stephanie Plum series has been the realistic "Jersey" accent of the previous narrators. This audio is so dissapointing!! The books are written in "first person" and there is no way the reader can believe this well bred narration is Stephanie Plum! The narration is so "out of character" it is a distraction. I am an avid audio listener and my reccomendation is---buy the book!

Review: Stephanie Plum the woman who can make me laugher harder then anything. Well Stephanie is back and this time she is helping out a friend try to find someone. Well not exactully a friend. Her parents next door neighbor Mabel's daughter Evelyn and her daughter Annie have left and Mabel is worried about them. Mainly because she has a bond company that is going to take her house unless Evelyn and Annie show up soon. So she ask's Stephanie to help her find the two.As Stephanie gets involved in this case she has a few FTA's to bring in. The lunitic who drinks to much and of course the little old lady who stole the Corvette. While trying to capture Andy Bender the drunk she has a harder time then she expected in getting him to come with her. She manages to lose more pairs of handcuffs and cause more trouble then she expected. While looking for Evelyn and Annie, Stephanie comes across a scary man named Eddie Abuzzi who scares the living daylights out of Stephanie and her friends. When things start appearing in Stephanie life she knows that she is in too deep, but that doesn't stop her from trying to find Evelyn. Not even another bounty hunter Jeanne Ellen can stop her. All the time this is happen Stephanie manages to meet up with Evelyn's weird lawyer Albert Kloughn who is just trying to help Stephanie find Evelyn even if he is a klutz. But as time goes on Stephanie has bigger problems... There is a killer rabbit chasing her and trying to get away from this case. Stephanie, Lula, Ranger, Moralli and the whole gang are back for another set of adventures. This series just keeps getting better and making me laugh harder and harder with each book.

Summary: Janet Does It Again
Review: You will wonder through the whole book is this really a mystery or a love story. Will Stephanie finally commit to Ranger or Joe? Will Stephanie ever stop keeping the gun in the cookie jar? Janet provides another humorous and exciting dose of mystery to her readers. If you are not a fan, you will be after reading hard eight.
