I stumbled on this series while looking for downloads for my new nook. The reviews were all so positive that I decided to try the first book in the series. This book had all of the elements of a great, fun read...characters that captivate, laugh out loud humor, drama, and suspense. It's neither overboard nor lack lustre, it's solid and incredibly entertaining!!! I loved it! I read it in one day and have already started on the second book! This may just be a new favorite author for me. If it weren't for others that took the time to write reviews, I would've have never given it a try, I'm so grateful!Show Less

Well developed characters--too much language

laugh out loud funny
Whether you like romance, mystery, adventure, or humor, this book will satisfy. I have never read a book that made me laugh out loud like this one. The only problem is the series goes on forever and once you are hooked, you are hooked. Some of the in-between books aren't as good, but they are still worth a read.

Funny, graphic, edgy, not PC
I enjoyed the vivid characters and setting. If you're into "literature," this won't be up to your standards. If you have tender sensibilities, a refined sense of humor or require a more complicated plot, likewise, you'll want to pass. Me, I was looking for entertainment and I got it.

I LOVE THIS BOOK
I love this book!!! I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Series!!! I'm always giving the first book away to someone as a gift. I've had people tell me that they don't enjoy reading much. She comes out with book 16 this June, and every person I give this book to can't stop reading the series and is now anxiously awaiting the release of 16. There are also mini books that she has written. This book (and the others in the series) are laugh out loud hilarious. I got in trouble for reading it while I had bathroom duty during TAKS testing because I was laughing so hard that the students heard and wondered what was going on. The characters are fantastic and out of this world. The dialogue is superb. If you like to laugh, if you have a sense of humor, if you want to love reading this book is the one for you. As a bonus you get two really hot men to dream about and a mystery to solve. DON'T MISS THIS BOOK OR THE OTHERS IN THE SERIES. I'm telling you I have gotten people with 2 to 3 jobs, kids to raise, and/or just hate reading to sit down and devour these books. Give them a try, I don't think you will be sorry. Also check out her website.

Stephanie Plum kicks ass!
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is so interesting that it is hard to put down until you are finished. I definately recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries or just wants to try something different. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

One for the Money
Why is it that when people tell me that I should read a book, I take forever to read it. And when I do read them they are beyond good. This book is defiantly one of those books. My sister would hound me about reading this book. She would tell me about these books that are just plain amazing. Well she was right.
You meet Stephanie. Stephanie had it all. She had the job, the house, the car, and the money. Well then out of nowhere she loses everything and she is going to her parents for help. Her parents are trying to be supportive but also they want her to find something so she can pay her bills. So she goes to her cousin Vinnie and starts working for his bail bond business. There she is given the chance to get some money by bringing in a fugitive. But it is not everything that it is cracked up to be. She encounters a lot of problems along the way. But she overcomes them to a point.
I loved this book. It has everything that a fictional book like this should have. It was action packed with suspense, love, and energy. It really keeps you going and wanting more. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone that wants a quick easy read that keeps you wanting it time and time again.5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

A HOOT AND A HALF!
Mystery, suspense, passion and great humor.What more can a reader ask for?
Stephanie Plum is quite the character, with real life problems, gutsy, down to earth and hilarious! She loses her job, sells some of her belongings and this is when she decides to become a bounty hunter. There is cute interplay between her and Joe Morelli, who she is trying to bring in for jumping bail. This is such fun, fast-paced and a real HOOT!!4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

One for the Money is a great read!
Evanovich's first Plum book is entertaining and suspensful! I really liked her main character, Stephanie, and reading about her adventures as a rookie bounty hunter. The "bad guy" was crazy scary and kept me reading page after page. It's full of humor and wit, and will satisfy any mystery reader's hopes.

Highly recommended-you gotta read these series!!!
I haven't read much in the past 50 years but started because my mother-in-law reads about a book every two days. I sat down to read one book and now have a Nook Color and have read about 15 books. This is one of the best series. That Stephanie Plum is a real hoot and so is her grandmother. Love these books and have bought up to book 9 and will continue to buy.. LOVE IT

Fun read
My best friend recommended the series and I'm glad she did! This is a fun and fast read. I immediately liked the main character, Stephanie Plum, and all the supporting characters. I've read the second book and plan to read the rest!

Great Offbeat Crime Series
I read an Excerpt from this book and went ahead and bought the first box set with the first 3 books. Wow was I glad I did! The first 3 books hooked me from beginning to end. The best thing about this series is the main character doesn't take herself too seriously. I found myself laughing harder than I had in a while. I LOVE Grandma Mazur and Lula! These books are worth every penny and are most definitely not a waste of time. Buy the whole series. You won't regret it but be warned they're addictive. As soon as I finished the first 3 books I got online and ordered the next 3 box sets.

Highly entertaining. Very well written.
I recommend all of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich to all my friends. Several have read them (I loan out the paperback), and they are as enthusiastic as me. My wife and I look forward to the Plum books.

I read this book because I had seen the movie preview and needed something to read and I loved it! I read the first one and jumped right into the second, third, fourth...now I'm on #9 and can't get enough! The plot is mysterious and the whole time I'm trying to figure out what will happen next, but I'm always surprised! This seriew has it all...humor,romance, mystery, action, suspense, fright, etc etc I just cannotsay enough positive things about this series!
