I cringe for Janet Evanovich. Fearless Fourteen is just that bad
“I've been a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum series and I've read all 15 books in order. The first 4 are absolutely hilarious and truly classic. While books 5 through 13 aren't quite as funny as the first 4, they're fun and entertaining nonetheless.

Fearless Fourteen marks the turning point where a once great series goes horribly wrong. Simply put, Fearless Fourteen is flat, boring, and not at all entertaining. Since I liked the first 13 Stephanie Plum books, I initially wrote off the slip with book 14 as an anomaly. But after reading Finger Lickin' Fifteen (which reads like a random compilation of lines and plot devices lifted directly from the earlier books), I'm realizing Fearless Fourteen was not an anomaly and that the series has just gone BAD. I really wish I'd stopped at 13.
I fully realize that Janet Evanovich's books aren't meant to be great literature. In fact, the reason I look forward to reading her books is that she typically does silly and fluffy so incredibly well. But Fearless Fourteen and Finger Lickin' Fifteen are so boring and repetitive, I have to wonder if Janet Evanovich even wrote them herself. Way to ruin a franchise. ” -

I truly enjoy the numbered series. I'm sorry that I didn't start reading them in numbered order.
Easy reading but certainly keep me waiting for the next chapter.

Quick Summarization
“Dear Diary, I got up this morning, ate breakfast with Joe, drove around the 'burg. I did this for three or four days in a row. The next day I used my binoculars and solved a crime. The End.

That's it folks, that the whole storyline. That's all there is to this book. Sure do wish I could get $6.99 per pop for writing this intriguing, amusing and adventuress stuff.

I agree with the person who said knocking these books are really sorta dumb. I am an older guy that has always enjoyed mysteries and funny books . The Plum series has both and I really have fun reading them. I have now ordered all fifteen books in the series from here and so far I have finished three and each one was fun to read. They are not boring novels that put you to sleep and they are not going to win any pulitizer awards but they are enjoyable. All I can say Janet is KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Im not quite sure whats with all the low ratings here. The only thing I couldnt really keep up with was the introduction to ea character. It seemed like she was introducing five new characters per chapter! And the conlusion to the the entire story seemed rushed.Other tahn that , I thought it was a great read. I found myself not wating to put it down.I will def purchase another stephanie plum book...”
