Janet Evanovich - One for the Money

Pros: Very interesting book. Great characters. Very funny

Some time last year I first read about the Stephanie Plum series of books by Janet Evanovich. The books sounded very interesting to me and I decided to look for them. I wasn’t able to find the first book until just recently though. I have seen...

Pros: Humor, fast pace, fun

One thing working nights means is a lot of time that I sit around looking for things to do. I spend some of that time reading. I tried reading a book that was somewhat deep and philosophical and my brain just didn’t want to function in that ...

Pros: Exciting, funny and satisfying
Cons: Does it matter that there are some battle-of-the-sexes stereotypes?

I've seen a lot of reviews of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels here on Epinions and decided to see what the fuss was about. I started with the sixth book in the series, "Hot Six," and finally managed to get my hands on the first, "One For the ...

Pros: A good read for plenty of fun
Cons: Nothing big enough for me or you to worry about

Back in college, my friend Sandra told me about these novels by Janet Evanovich that had her laughing out loud, and she highly recommended them to me. She said her sister had started reading them. Duly noted. Then my mother told me about the same ...

Pros: A star is born...
Cons: Can't wait for the next one to arrive in my mailbox...

Pros: fun read
Cons: if you don't like fluff, this isn't for you

Pros: Side splitting humor, Crackling sexual tension
Cons: Didn't last nearly long enough.

Janet Evanovich has created such a captivating herione in her Stephanie Plum, that you will hope the book never ends. It is filled with some of the best characterizations I've read since "Auntie Mame". Stephanie is a "Jersey Girl",...

First, let me begin by saying, I don't normally write book reviews.

However, a review on the author Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series...

After I finished the second novel in this series, I headed back to my favorite used bookstore to see what other books in this series were in. I was in luck, I was able to buy this one plus 3 more! So, now, I can see how Stephanie started her bounty ...
