Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

In the 14th installment of thi series, Janet has out done herself, bringing laughter in so many places, and so many ways. Her quirky characters almost make me want to visit Trenton to see if there are really people like this out there. Her humor, and the inclusion of a monkey, just shows how far she has come, and what a joy it is to read her writings, and the continuing adventures of Stephanie Plum.
From the break in at Joe's, to Grandma shooting people to keep them out of his house, this book is well worth the read.

If you want a serious mystery, the Plum series is not for you. If Stephanie becomes more mature, successful and maternal, she won't be funny. That is what the books are. The story lines are interesting, the people are hilarious and loveable. They are all extremes of the people in our own lives or would like in our lives. The best thing is, I have never made it through a book without laughing out loud and have never closed a book at the end without a smile on my face. In Fearless Fourteen, the potato gun episode alone is worth the price of the book. So what if you don't know who the toes belonged to. There are so many serious books out there. So many sad, depressing stories. There aren't many that leave you happy. If you want serious, read someone else for a while. If you want to feel better, read Evanovich.

The seller didn't mention it was a large print book at a bigger than normal size. It doesn't quiet fit in with my collection.

I reserved this book at my local library and was told I'd have to wait months to get it. As luck would have it, I was out of town the week it came in, and was put at the bottom of the list, only to be told I'd have to wait three more months. Amazon had such a great price on the book, I didn't have to wait. I guess Janet Evanovich is more people's guilty pleasure than I thought.

feel about the characters I've come to love and know in the first 12 books?? How is it that authors who run series characters do not know when they've lost the ability to create a good read? And how is that the publishers keep printing these pieces of garbage? I, for one, no longer purchase/read the likes of David Patterson, Patricia Cornwell and now I'm afraid I'll be adding JE to that category. What a waste of a forest of trees....

I don't feel the need to repeat most of the one- and two-star reviews except to say DITTO and I feel sad....
