 Loved it! ( hambenko )
I actually loved this latest glimpse into the life of Stephanie Plum. It made me laugh out loud on several occassions! It was very comforting in that nothing changed in Stephanie's relationship dynamics -- I love Joe, Ranger, Grandma Mazur and Stephanie's mother just the way they are, and I am happy to get a chance to visit with them every time a new book comes out. The Lula characterization is over-the-top silly, but still I enjoyed reading about her. I think the Plum books are a fun distraction, and I am loking forward to number fifteen.

 NEVER DISAPPOINTED...........
All Evanovich's books are great, and this one is no different. I have read all of her books in this series, and she is always true to her characters. You get to know them, and feel like you're in their inner circle. They become your friends, and you're always interested in their next exploits.
If you're a first time reader of the Stephanie Plum books, don't be intimidated by the number in the tittle. You can jump in with any book. You don't have to start with the first of the series. I didn't, but I loved the characters so much, I did get, and read, all the previous books of the series, and enjoyed all of them. Now, I sit waiting, for the next book to come out and order it immediately.
I listen to her books while driving in the car, and her characters are my true companions while driving.
If you want lite, interesting reading with a lot of laughs, and flash-backs of your 20's, you won't be disappointed with this book.

As Great As Ever!
This latest book in the Plum series is great! I can't wait to get Plum Spooky. I laughed and laughed just like I always do with all the Plum books and Lorelei King is still the best reader for the series. She has the characters down to a t and just like I hear them when reading them. I love CJ Critt reading other things, but Lorelei is the master at the Plum series. If you haven't ever listened to the books please go back and listen to all the ones Lorelei has read and you will laugh even harder than reading them. This one is great and I can't wait for Finger Lickin' Fifteen! Yay..Evanovich and the Plum series! Keep up the great work!

Good Entry! Not Great, but it IS #14... ( bostonfred )
I polished this one off in two days/ three sittings... It moves quicker than many of the previous entries, and I noticed the chapters are getting shorter. No Problemo/ This is still good stuff. Great? Not so much, but overall very entertaining. The usual suspects are back, along with a few new characters that only Evanovich could dream up. Is the series runing out of steam? Nope, although I thought that might be the case before finally reading this. It may be treading water, but for something fun and lightweight, I have no qualms with that.
Keep churning 'em out, and I'll keep reading. That goes for the Plum series. The Motor Mouth ones, not so much...

 Done counting on this series ( joffenbach )
Thank goodness I read a library copy so I didn't have to think about the money or trees wasted on this novel. I spent an entire day reading this book, hoping I could finish it before sundown so I wouldn't have to turn on another light. This was not exactly boring, but I found myself asking if it was worth the time invested as I progressed from one chapter to the next. At times, the pacing was almost average, but for the most part, it felt like I was crawling along stuck in Beltway traffic and I couldn't exit for another several miles. I could have moved into another lane, but I hoped I was missing something between the lines/lanes. No character was fully developed, even Gary who had a lot of potential, and I found myself annoyed because of disappointing characters and events. The only thing I learned about Morelli is that he has a MacBook and his password is saved enabling Stephanie to read his emails. Now that could be interesting, but she simply received information and printed it out. The escapades were neither exciting nor well-written and the emotions I felt were akin to listening to elevator music or looking at the wallpaper on the walls.
