Summary: wild way out amateur sleuth investigative tale
Review: Wealthy inventor Max Holt visits his sister DeeDee and her husband Frankie "the Assassin" Fontana in Beaumont, South Carolina because his sibling asked for his help. Frankie has tossed his hat in the ring to run for mayor. While in town, Max plans to investigate the Beaumont Gazette, in which he is a silent partner. However, in reality he only wants to conduct a hands-on interview of his partner Jamie Swift, fiancee to some local yokel.

Frankie gives a speech about reducing the bureaucracy and to determine what happened to missing tax money. The talk gives Frankie plenty of supporters and a real shot at winning the election. However, he alienates someone because now Frankie and his brother-in-law are targets of a hired assassin with Jamie along claiming she only wants the story.

FULL TILT is a wild way out amateur sleuth investigative tale that hooks readers from the moment Muffin (think of a female Kit from Knight Rider) provides Max a picture of Jamie. The story line is played for fun and in many ways satirizes the Plum books. Max and Jamie chaperoned by Muffin make a delightful duo investigating murder attempts and the return of dizzy DeeDee (see FULL HOUSE) leaves the audience with an uproarious amusing novel.

Summary: Stupid
Review: I adore the Stephanie Plum series so I thought I'd try the Full series. The first one was so-so, but this one, the second, is just plain stupid. I especially hated Muffin, the talking computer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: It's hard to believe this dreck is written by the same brilliant author who brought us Stephanie Plum. Hughes must know where Evanovich buried the bodies -- I can't imagine any other reason Evanovich would attach her name to something so bad. Evanovich's Plum series has everything this one lacks, including a plot that holds together, humor and creativity. Take a pass on this series & invest in a Plum -- you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Plum
Review: Not as good as the Plum novels. I bought this book because I was waiting for the next Stephanie Plum book to come out and needed something to read. It's ok, but doesn't come close to the Plum series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too Little Too Late
Review: My friends and even my mom love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. At Christmastime, I read my first Evanovich book--her "Christmas" Stephanie Plum novelette--and loved it. I picked up Full Tilt and expected the same quality, but no. I read half way through the book and put it down. There was no hook, only meagre characterizations and "been there, done that" storyline. My advice to Janet E.--write books on your own and save your friends for shopping and lunching out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fully awful
Review: A longtime addict of the Stephanie Plum series, I was sucked into buying this by the Evanovich name. This proved to be one of the most unreadable books I've ever picked up; if I hadn't been in a foreign country, with days worth of rain and no other books in English available, I never would have finished it. As it was, I was sometimes tempted to set the book aside just to watch paint peel; it was that bad. I suspect that Janet Evanovich didn't write a word of this drivel; the style and voice were completely unlike her. I'm willing to bet that she lent her name to the book to help her wildly untalented friend Charlotte get a book in print. Best used for starting fires, which is what I did with it at the end.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not up to Plum
Review: Full Tilt is a mildly entertaining read. You'll get a couple of chuckles, but thats it. Janet evanovich's Stefanie Plum books are much better. I love the Plum Books and so I picked up Full Tilt, thinking it had to be great, I was very disappointed. there is not much in the romance department, And not much in the mystery department. The charachters are pretty flat and one sided and the whole novel seems to fall on its face. Don't be fooled by Evanovichs name on the title. Full Tilt is definitly not up to Plum.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining read!
Review: Don't expect a deep and meaningful literary experience when tackling Full Tilt, but expect a light easy read thats loads of fun!

Although far fetched, Full Tilt is a bizarre yet entertaining read. Pure fiction - full of ex strippers, wrestlers, millionaire's, snazzy cars, a talking computer and other crazies, Full Tilt is fun, lively and quick to read. The characters are not as real as those in Evanovich's Plum novel's, but are rich in desciption and it is easy to imagine what is going on - regardless of the absurdity of events (who ever heard of a computer going through menopause?...). The talking computer in the 'Maxmobile' added a sort of Bond twist, and enabled the investigations to go to a much deeper level.

I will definitely continue reading the 'Full' series, and look forward to reading more Jamie and Maximillian adventures.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a disappointment
Review: I started reading this hoping for the snappiness of the Stephanie Plum series but gave up before finishing. This series is just not worth the time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Knight Rider Chapter 2525
Review: First of all this book is a Michael Knight's chapter with his KITT (Knight Industries two thousand) car, do you remember that TV program? The car that speaks, and drives herself?
Well with that in mind and that every JE's books had nothing to think about, nothing to learn about, but something to have a good time reading them you can read this book, this book will not give you anything but a pleasant time reading it, of course if you liked The Knight Rider Show, if you didn't like it just skip this one.
