Fearless Fourteen

I read this as my first Stephanie Plum book so I had no expectations. My sister had told me how funny the books were and I admit to laughing out loud. Then I order Vol. 1-13. After reading the others, I can see where this one might be a disappointment but I will optimistically pre-order 15. I can't wait!

Just as good as anything in the series, a fun and funny (sometimes hysterically funny) reading experience, and well worth the price of the book.

I totally loved this book, and I can absolutely see Grandma becoming a super-gamer since she is totally committed to everything she does (and I'm sure Stephanie's Dad wishes his mother-in-law was committed). I was disappointed with the books about Stephanie that weren't part of the number series but I really loved this one as usual and can't wait for number 15.

I thought this book was a great addition to the series, going against many of the reviews I read on the website today. I was a little disappointed myself in some perspectives. I don't believe we can compare the books against each other the way I feel some reviewers are. They are all a unique addition to the series. The book brought Stephanie and the characters to a new level. Her relationship with Joe Morelli took a new change, showing me she can actually have an adult relationship with him without running back to her apartment every other week. I was a little disappointed at not having Ranger in the book quite as much as he has been in the past but it makes me want to read 15 that much more to see if he will be back again. I really loved the character additions. Mooner was hilarious. He was a perfect example the the stoner everyone knew in highschool and what I think many people can see that personality, ten years later. The stalker was awesome also. He was a small add in but he was noticed! The pizza disaster, squatting in Morelli garage, and chasing the crazy Brenda around was a perfect side note in the book. The mystery add in was much appreciated. I loved not knowing who the fourth partner was in the book. It really added a new dynamic to the series. I also think the book did a really awesome job of possibly bringing us to the end of the series, if that is JE's intention. A series can only go so far, and Janet did only sign on for 16. Could this be it? I really hope all you readers out there who haven't read the book are not discouraged by the nasty reviews. Give it a try. You might find youself on the edge of your seat waiting for book 15 like I am.

I simply do not understand all the negative reviews here. This is a Stephanie Plum book, folks, not a Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Anyone familiar with the Plum series knows what they are getting into when they pick up one of these books. They are not meant to be taken as seriously as people are taking them here. What's with the deep analyses? This is light, fun reading at its best. The characters are goofy, but they are meant to be. This is escape reading, and people need to lighten up and enjoy it.
