Book Reviews of Plum Lovin' (A Between-the-Numbers Novel)
Book Review: LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT -- AND I DO MEAN LIGHT!
Summary: 2 Stars
One of my girlfriends has been trying to get me to read Evanovich for years. I have resisted as I am in to more hard core thrillers and mysteries, these books sounded a bit too much like chit lit. Well, on recent girls weekend I picked up her copy of this book and gave it a go. I was truly surprised at how little this book had to offer? and at under 200 pages it hardly seemed worth the cover price? In my friends defense she said this was not a typical "Plum" book and she said it was the wrong place to start--as a fan she was distressed by the short length and shallow storyline. I have been told I have to try "One for the Money" before I give up on Evonovich? We'll see.
Book Review: If You Need Your Stephanie Plum Fix
Summary: 4 Stars
I read a lot of books, mainly mysteries. I have my favorite authors but love to find good new ones. My dessert in reading are Janet E's Stephanie Plum books. I love to have fun with her and devour the books quickly and satisfyingly like a lovely chocolate cake,mousse,pie,ice cream or bar. Plum Lovin' was a good "Stephanie fix" while I wait for another number series book to come out. I wasn't disappointed. If you want something deep, intriguing, slightly dark - this isn't the book for you. For fun and a few laughs, grab this and enjoy! And it's not fattening.
Book Review: In a Hurry?
Summary: 3 Stars
I have read all of Evanovich's books. I love her characters. You are immediately drawn into them. It is almost like you know them. After reading just a few of her books, you think of her characters as family, friends, or neighbors. Since I already knew most of the characters in this book I thought it would be a great read. I was disappointed. While I did have my usual "laugh out loud" moments, I felt like the story was hurried and did not follow any particular story line. The events appeared disorganized. Usually reading one of her novels brings me to telling my friends about the scenes and lines. This one just fell flat-in a hurry.Book Review: Plum Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this book because I love the numbered series but this was beyond bad. Like some other posters, I felt exploited, ripped off (and mind you, I purchased this book on sale for $1.97 and STILL felt ripped off!!!).
Come on Janet, we deserve better than this. YOU deserve better than this. Don't fall for the "I gotta make all the money I can out of this series while I can make it" routine. As for me, I've been burned so seriously that I will NOT purchase #15, I'll get it from the library, if I bother to read it at all.
Book Review: What a disappointment!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have enjoyed Evanovich's "Plum" series - light, humorous, entertaining characters, and an easy escape from the real world. This effort, however, is a major disappointment. She couldn't have spent more than a week writing it, and it shows. Had I not been on an international flight with nothing else to read I would have put it down from almost the beginning. In fact, if I had the choice I would have rated it as a zero star effort. Save your money and your time - read something else !
