Janet Evanovich - Fearless Fourteen

Pros: hysterical, laugh out loud, lend to friends

Cons: enough already, quit dragging out the love triangle!!

The Bottom Line: Absolutely buy these books, all of them.  You will NOT be disappointed!

Review: I have been a fan of the Stephanie Plum books since shortly after their debut, they are laugh out loud funny, and the characters are beyond endearing, even though they are very untraditional. I highly recommend this series, and not just in theory, my ...

Pros: Love triangle kept to a minimum

Cons: Deja-Vu abounds

The Bottom Line: This book had some good laughs and Stephanie shows more intelligence than she had in a while.

Review: Earlier this year I raced my way through Janet Evanovich's series about Stephanie Plum, a 30 year old bounty hunter from New Jersey who always manages to get tied up in a mystery surrounding a bail-jumper whose case is not what it seems to be. ...

Pros: Great characters, funny interactions

Cons: One subplot is boring

The Bottom Line: Read it for the laughs and to catch up with the characters.  It's very entertaining.

Review: The Stephanie Plum series continues and even though many think the series is not progressing and is becoming stale, I disagree.  I enjoy each of these books for their wit and to see what the characters are up to.  If you read it for mystery or ...

Pros: another romp though the Burg with most of the characters intact

Cons: pretty lackluster compared to most of the rest of the series

The Bottom Line: Evanovich's latest may not make the grade, but it's not as bad as crazed Ranger fans might claim.

Review: There are some names you just simply don't associate with the Martha Stewart lifestyle - you know: frilly curtains, tons of throw pillows, crocheted tea cozies, and potpourri. One such name is Stephanie Plum; big-haired gum-crackin' tight-jeans-wearin' ...

Pros: Bob the dog is always fun, a potato gun.

Cons: Lack of get-up-and-go, overall just "meh."

The Bottom Line: Once you put it back on the shelf it's easy to forget it's there, or that you even read it. Hey, that's what happened to me.

Review: Janet Evanovich has now written a crazy fourteen Stephanie Plum books and I think she’s getting tired of her main character. If you’re not familiar with the whole Stephanie Plum bounty hunter girl thing, then I recommend you try out the first ...

Pros: Funny

Cons: Story line lacked a bit

The Bottom Line: Not my favorite, but still funny, and as a fan I will soak it up.

Review: I just love the Stephanie Plum number series by Janet Evanovich. I am always waiting with great anticipation for the next one to come out. Ms. Evanovich works pretty quickly so I usually don’t have to wait that long. The series is up to 14 for the ...

Pros: Zook, leaving out some tired scenarios that have been in earlier books.

Cons: Tired. Disorganized. Some grammar and spelling errors. Feels like an effort.

The Bottom Line: It's hard to recommend it. Die hard fans will read it, anyway.

Review: 14 Books into her full-length Stephanie Plum series (with several joint and silly fictional NON-SERIES efforts between her main series of books), Janet Evanovich is succumbing to the syndrome that best selling authors who are forced to write a new book ...

Pros: Stephanie

Cons: Not up to Ms Evanovich's normal standards

The Bottom Line: While the Stephanie Plum series is known for it's fun, light-hearted mysteries, this book is not quite there though all the usual cast is present.

Review: Stephanie Plum works for her cousin, Vinnie, as a bail bond enforcement agent or bounty hunter in Trenton, NJ. She’s not great at it which is why she drives a very beat up car and lives in an older apartment building. This is also why she occasionally ...

Pros: it's Stephanie Plum

Cons: characters either tired or doing things too outlandish, too much going on

The Bottom Line: For whatever reason, Fearless Fourteen is just not up to the caliber of previous novels in the Stephanie Plum series.

Review: There was a time when I got my hands on the first Stephanie Plum book by Janet Evanovich that I couldn’t wait for more. I burned through a number of the books in the series that summer and never got tired of them. I could pin my apathy about ...

Pros: The return of Stephanie Plum..

Cons: and just about everything else.

The Bottom Line: Skip it.

Review: It begins as many of these do with Stephanie Plum out on a bond recovery. This time it is Loretta, suicidal, and in her pajamas in her kitchen while Stephanie tries to convince her everything is going to be okay. Loretta wanted a Tom Collins as she was ...
