Rating:  Summary: Stephanie Plum has never let me down Review: I enjoy entertaining mysteries. I'm pretty fastidious about the authors I like, and Evanovich is one of my favorites because she has such great wit, her dialogue is terrific and every book gets better, the latter trait being quite rare in my mind. Love her, love her books.
Rating:  Summary: As always - a laugh-a-minute! The best yet! Review: I always expect fun when Stephanie Plum is in the picture and Janet Evanovich doesn't disappoint with Hot Six. This is my favorite so far of the series - probably the funniest and most entertaining. I wish there were more Plum books, so I could go back and read them again.
Rating:  Summary: MORE ! MORE ! MORE ! Review: Very few writers make me laugh out loud. Thank you so much, Ms. Evanovich, for sharing your outstanding sense of humor. This entire series is a "hoot". As an avid reader, I just keep hoping that the next one in any series will, at the very least, be as good as the previous book. This series just gets better! Not only are her quirky characters richly drawn, but her wild story lines keep the reader wondering how the craziness could possibly end and make any sense at all. This wonderful writer gets the job done. Oh, and I haven't mentioned the snappy, amusing dialog and enough sexual tension to turn on a corpse. (Yes, there is always one of those popping into our favorite imposter bounty hunter's life.) Morelli and Ranger will make you drool a little on this book, so keep a tissue handy. But, on my laugh meter, it's Grandma Mazur who rings the bell. Thank you, Ms. Evanovich for a fabulously entertaining series. KEEP THEM COMING!
Rating:  Summary: BEST ONE YET!!! KEEP THEM COMING! Review: Janet Evanovich has done it again. I think the interaction between Stephanie and her new roommates: her grandmother and the dog, have made the story more interesting and funny. You can't wait to see if Stephanie ever gets a break and things will go her way, especially when it comes to her relationships with Joe and Ranger. I had a hard time putting it down.
Rating:  Summary: The Car Carnage Continues ... and So Does the Fun Review: Stephanie Plum is a walking, talking riot. Grandma Mazur is even more of a pistol - and she has a falling out with mama and moves in with Stephanie. The continuing saga of Stephanie's car carnage, girls of the 'hood, and wonderfully troublesome men will not disappoint, but the reader will meet a wonderful new pet too. Another bounty hunt, another huge laugh, with the slapstick irreverence that Ms. Evanovich takes very seriously. You will need to watch where you read this book, for you will be hooting and laughing out loud all the way through it. If you have not read the delightful books beginning with "One for the Money" - I'd suggest you do that first.
Rating:  Summary: Very Enjoyable Review: I enjoyed this book. Miss Plum gets a lot of action, some with cop Morelli. The bounty hunter business can be very humorous. Steph has a hamster named Rex and in this book appears a rambunctious dog named Bob. Her Glock totting voluptuous partner( in some cases), Lula, is becoming a tuff broad. Ranger, the mysterious Latin investigator, makes your mouth water. The plot about the Ramos family, gunrunning, drugs, missing cash, dead bodies turning up, is a little vague. But Hey! go get um Steph.
Rating:  Summary: Yum! Wow! Zounds! Review: More, more, more, PLEASE! Can't wait to see what kind of trouble Stephanie can get in and out of next. And I'm still holding my breath waiting for Grandma Mazur to plug somebody! Laughs, thrills, romance, and mystery all in one. Brava, Ms. Evanovich!
Rating:  Summary: Avid Mystery,Detective Fan Finds Delightfully Different Type Review: Being in many Detective, Thriller, Mystery, and other book clubs,(7) I grabbed this as part of "pick free 6 books." I had no idea it would be a keep me up all night. It IS a mystery and with a bounty hunter has action though from many of the other reviews you may get the idea that it's "just" a comedy. It is funny, in many ways like life just gets wierd and funny, yet gets you upclose and feeling like you know the quirky characters, and I certainly enjoy Stephanie Plum, as in "I'd love to have lunch or go for a drink with her." Now I want to get all her others. If your regular cup of tea is Kellerman, Cannell, Cornwell, Sandford, Patterson, etc. etc.- give this a try and you may be as surprised and delighted by this very cleaver,talented writer who's genre is a wonderful mix.
Rating:  Summary: Hot Stuff Review: A whiz-bang story! Snappy dialog. Zany yet believable characters. Hot men. What more can you ask for?
Rating:  Summary: HOT SIX - Savor it for SEVEN! Review: This best yet Stephanie Plum suspense thriller is a hoot from the get-go, with a dysfunctional set of characters that can't shoot straight. Bounty hunter Plum tries to help her friend and mentor Carlos (Ranger) Manoso solve the murder of the son of an international gunrunner. Ranger, a mercenary by training, is wanted for questioning in connection with the murder. Stephanie's not sure whether she should 1) seduce Ranger 2) take him down for the bounty 3) or try and help him solve the whodunit. Along the way Stephanie, with her occasional side-kick Lula, bumbles a couple of bounty take downs; helps her grandmother get her driver's license (so she can buy a hot car); gets help from her spaced-out friends Mooner and Dougie (who can't get enough of 'I Dream of Jeannie' reruns from the sixties); and takes in an unwanted dog who eats everything and poops like there's no tomorrow. Of course, the bad guys aren't much better, tailing Stephanie all day long (to get to suspect Ranger) until 5 pm when its time to take the kids to soccer practice. This novel should be cataloged as a comedy rather than a suspense thriller. Like something out of the Three Stooges or an SNL skit, this JANET EVANOVICH novel is outright hilarious! I mean outright, as in constantly howling out loud! The storyline, dialog, and characters are exceptional in this easy-to-read Stephanie Plum series book. Fans, old and new, won't want to miss this read while waiting impatiently for number SEVEN.
