I have read all 18 of the Stephanie Plum books. They are such an easy read and always make me laugh!! These are the books I turn to when I need a break from more serious novels. I read the first 15 all in one summer. When I was finished I felt like Stephanie was a friend of mine! I always miss her until the next book...I can't wait to see what she's up to next!
Love the Evanovich. Have read ALL the Stephanie Plum novels and will continue to read them until Janet stops writing them. My favorites were 10, 11, & 13. My favorite character is Lula, a woman who knows what she likes, and she likes to eat fried chicken. I have to read all the novels on a full stomach. Otherwise, I end up snacking on junk food. Have no idea how Stephanie stays so thin with all the junk she eats. Each book causes laughter, and sometimes hard enough to make tears squish out of my eyes!
I read all 18 books in this series in about two months. I couldn't put most of them down. Very entertaining, memorable characters, improbable and funny scenarios. If you are looking for a fun and easy read I recommend this series. I would lay in bed and laugh out loud at some of the scenarios and witty conversations. My husband was not amused :)
I simply love this series of books. I am presently reading "Hard Eight". The characters in this series of books, make you feel that they are real people, family. I get excited knowing that in each series that Stephanie Plum will announce which guy she wants to make her permanent guy. The romance is excellent and the action is awesome!
These books are crude and have terrible language...but they also have parts that are laugh out loud funny. If you can overlook an abundance of F-words and some nasty innuendos... they are a quick, fun read.
I absolutely love this series. I am on fifteen right now. They are action packed, whitty, and the characters are hilarious! I have been reading these books for years and I hope Janet keeps them coming.
I love these books. They are a quick and funny read. I literally laugh out loud when I read these books. Great books to put you in a light-hearted mood.
I love Janet Evanovich's sense of humor, and laugh out loud at Stephanie and Lula throughout most of the book. If you only pick one, go for Hard Eight.
Enjoy the characters in this series: Grandma M, Ranger, Lula, Joe, etc. However, Stephanie needs to make a decision about a man - this ping-pong action between men is getting too boring for me.
Super fun books. Started reading the series in college and look forward to each book that comes out. I feel very close the the characters and I love grandma Mazur!!!
A fun, hilarious, light read. Reading enough of the series does expose the recycled format used in the novels, and it gets redundant after book #8 or so. I stopped in the middle of 10.
