Hollywood is in the process of making One for the Money by Janet Evanovich, staring Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum. With luck it will be half as good as the book, a box office success, and therefore inducing them to develop the rest of the series. Right now Evanovich is up to Smokin' Seventeen (with a few holiday side specials). Because of the movie, I’m sure more people will be picking up this book, the first in a series, as JE does a hilarious job of blending Stephanie Plum’s character as ‘

I couldn't stand Stephanie Plum what a pain in the butt whiner. I don't think I even got to chapter 3 of this one before I put it down. Subsequently, haven't picked up another Evanovich book.

For ages I've been meaning to start this series, I've heard a lot about it and it's my daughter in law's favourite.
I didn't have any expectations expecting some light chick lit and it is that. But I enjoyed the characters and Janet Evanovich's easy reading style.

I listened to this on audiobook, and it was fantastic! I don't know if I would have liked it as much if I was reading it in a regular book, but the story and the narrator gave this book such a memorable novel.

I only got to page 87 because I found this book so dull, I was looking forward to reading it after seeing all the 4 and 5 star reviews for this book but I couldn't get into it at all.
