Summary: Went thru all 7 in a week!
Review: Well, I went through the first 7 Stephanie Plum books in a week, based on a recommendation of "One for the Money" by a friend. I couldn't put them down - I'm a fast reader but not usually this fast! (:I tend to agree with some of the other reviewers. Seven Up isn't quite as hilarious as the first couple, but it still got me laughing out loud and mumbling to myself. If you like Sue Grafton, you'll like Janet Evanovich just as much... maybe even more. Just be sure you read them in order, and leave yourself plenty of time before bed when you start. I'm particularly reviewing number 7 because the ending is what I've been hoping for all along (: No peeking!

Summary: begging for a reissue of this tape!
Review: I've listened to the series in both abridged, with Lori Petty and unabridged, with CJ Critt. I prefer unabridged books, but enjoyed both Lori and CJ as narrators. I'm not even half way through the 1st tape of Seven Up, but I'm about ready to dump it like the other reviewers. I can't even rate the story because I'm not into it far enough because Tanya Eby's voice is like fingernails scratching down a chalkboard! I've actually had to cut my exercise routine short because I can't listen to that voice for more than 5 minutes. I was hoping that the book might have been re-issued with another narrator. Unfortunatley, Eby seems to have voiced both the abridged and unabridged versions of this story and it looks like I'll have to read the book and exercise to something else. Yikes!

Summary: Great Stuff
Review: I found this 7th book in the Stephanie Plum series to be as good as the other six. And that is no small feat for the author to accomplish. Fresh material, good continuing characters, good new characters. Some serial writers use the same humorous phrases in more than one book, and it gets tiring. Ms. Evanovich does not. She is to be admired for really earning her praises for this highly, highly entertaining series. Now, to buy #8. Thank you again, Ms. Evanovich. You are tops!

Summary: Stephanie Has More Whack-O Characters To Deal With!
Review: This book was another funny one as usual. This time, Joe Morelli is proposing to Stephanie, but she's just not sure what to do. Her mother and Grandma Mazur get all excited and take her to buy a wedding dress; like it or not! Then there is Eddie DeChooch, an old fogie running from the law. Stephanie has more trouble as usual trying to capture this guy, and on top of everything else, Grandma Mazur and he were into this relationship thing. On top of everything else, there's Mooner whom they can't find, and two other strange characters that are hanging around Stephanie, waiting for her to mess up. They are dangerous, and harm comes Stephanie's way as always! Stephanie's sister Valerie and her kids have come back into town after Valerie breaks up with her husband. Valerie wants to explore lesbianism, and of course Grandma Mazur is overly interested in that subject. This book made me laugh constantly.It is sure to touch your funny bone.

Summary: How hard can it be...
Review: To find one old man...pretty hard if it's Eddie DeChooch and you're Stephanie Plum. Stephanie's tooling around on a Harley searching for DeChooch, missing friends, and a kidnapped grandma. She's dealing with her newly returned sister, who's not quite as perfect as Stephanie thought, while she tries to figure out just what she wants in a man. Another fun-filled romp with Trenton's favorite bounty hunter!

Summary: Look the book, not the voice
Review: Another great Stephanie Plum book, but the accent the reader uses is very, very hard to listen to. Her Stephanie is very nasal and its a bit off-putting. And the men all have the same adnoidal voice for each character. It definitely took me awhile to get used to her voice. I'd suggest checking this one out at the library for free instead of buying.

Summary: Not my favorite
Review: After reading "Hot Six", "Seven UP" was disappointing. Although the style and characterizations are the same, the humor was off and the pace dragged. I remain a Stephanie Plum fan and look forward to reading "Hard Eight", but "Seven Up" is my least favorite, to date. Evanovich's talent for unique characters is evident in all her writing and I enjoy her narratives. Plum's flamboyant Granny keeps readers wondering what will she pull next. All in all, I enjoy Plum's inept bumbling and the miraculous way she overcomes.

Summary: Keep 'em coming
Review: More, more, more! I can't get enough of Evanovich's Plum series. I first read Hot Six about year and a half ago. As soon as I finished, I went online and ordered books 1-5, and 7. I finished them all in about two weeks time. I did have to put them down to go to work. They all get five stars as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention the fact that my mother, 3 sisters, and all our friends have become Plum addicts as well! I just preordered my copy of To the Nine, coming out in July this year. I can't get enough of the quirky Stephanie, hot Morelli, and mysterious Ranger. Keep 'em coming, Janet!

Summary: Disappointed in Seven -- not so good as the others
Review: I loved One through Six, but I think the author has run out of material. This is not the Stephanie we know and love. Cheating on Joe with Ranger? No -- the Stephanie we have come to know has always been wacky, but would not fool around with another man while seriously dating and sleeping with Joe. Something went wrong with this book. I was disappointed.
