Janet Evanovich - High Five

Pros: good mystery, funny moments, excellent characters
Cons: ending a little too contrived

Warning: All subsequent reviews for this series may contain spoilers for earlier novels in the series. Just in case no one could tell, I have to say I am really enjoying the series of novels by Janet Evanovich centered around the character of ...

Pros: You will fall in love with Stephanie and the gang...
Cons: Steps over the bounds of believable quite often.

Janet Evanovich is back with her fifth Stephanie Plum novel, High Five. Stephanie has a problem: Rent is due and no one is skipping bail in the Burg. Considering Stephanie works for her cousin Vincent Plum as a 'fugitive apprehension agent', this is ...

Pros: Laugh-out-loud funny; no one destroys cars like Stephanie Plum
Cons: Not the most believable book... but who cares?

Okay, I'll admit it: Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels are among the funniest things I've read in the past few years. They all have terrific characterization and interesting personal interactions that suck me into the story and make the frequent ...

Pros: Very exiting, and very funny
Cons: Can't think of any.

Since I have now read all of the Stephanie Plum number series books, by Janet Evanovich, I am kind of going back and reading through some of the earlier ones that I read a long time ago. Recently I have re-read High Five. High Five Stephanie ...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: *cue crickets*

I haven’t been having the best birthday so far, but hey, I’ve stayed alive 23 years running now, so that’s nothing to scoff at. At the very least, my life is nowhere near as complex and dangerous as Stephanie Plum’s, though I have to ...

Pros: Great characters, very funny
Cons: None

This book was the first by this author that I have read. It features a bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. The book is the fifth in the series and I understand that there is one more written and another to be published next year. This book was so...

Pros: More funny times
Cons: Too many characters, slowest book so far

This is the fifth book in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, and compared to the books that preceeded it, it was a bit of a letdown, although I still found it entertaining. Stephanie Plum is a former lingerie buyer who, after being unemployed ...

Pros: excellent funny characters, great dialogue
Cons: I gain weight just reading about the way Stephanie eats!

Janet Evanovich has written five books in this series now, starting with "One For The Money". I was thrilled to see this one when I went to browse in Barnes & Noble recently, and picked up the paperback. I missed the #4 selection in the...

Pros: Hysterical protagonist and supporting characters
Cons: A little longer than it needs to be--you might find yourself skipping here and there

A few words of advice: don't start reading "High Five" after 6:00pm unless you don't have to worry about getting up in the morning. Once you start any of the Stephanie Plum novels, you can't put them down until you've finished. Also, be sure...

Pros: Over all a really great book
Cons: As always nothing I can think of

For the fifth book in the Stephanie Plum bounty hunter series, Stephanie is on the hunt for her missing womanizer uncle. No he is not a fugitive, just missing. Stephanie is convinced that she is unable to solve the case, as she is a bounty hunter not a...

Pros: More hilarious, fast paced action in my all-time favorite female detective series.
Cons: Waiting for the next book in the series, but, it's due out soon (June 2001).

This is number 5 in a series of currently 6 published Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I absolutely love this series. I have never laughed as hard throughout a whole book as I do when I get my hands on these. They start out with "One for the...

Pros: Laugh-out-loud funny, well-rounded characters, setting that jumps out at you
Cons: Morelli or Ranger? Morelli or Ranger? Morelli or Ranger?...

I first fell in love with the Stephanie Plum series with "Three To Get Deadly," and I read the fourth, sixth, and seventh book soon afterwards. I was only missing the fifth, and my little section of the sequence would be complete. I read this fifth...

Pros: Get to know Ranger a bit better.
Cons: None

Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter. She's not a great bounty hunter but with dumb luck she seems to find her FTA. That is failure to appear or better known as the fugitive. Right now, there aren't many relatively safe FTAs to find and Stephanie needs ...

Pros: Great plot, moves along at an incredible rate.
Cons: I want more.

Stephanie Plum has a tiny problem with money, as in she has none. Her rent is behind, her car was blown up, and her day job of being a bounty hunter just isn't cutting it for her. What's a street smart, all American girl to do?

Imagine...

Pros: Another Evanovich book you won't want to put down. Hilarious!
Cons: It ended!

Ah, the fifth in Evanovich's series of books about Ms. Stephanie Plum, "Bombshell Bounty Hunter" is just as wonderful as the preceding four. These books make you want to take this single, New Jersey Bounty Hunter home to dinner (along with Grandma...
