Plum lucky

Subtitled a "between the numbers" Plum story. Stephanie Plum is a great character and Evanovich an excellent writer. Plum meets up with weirdos, as is her wont, and she has to rescue grandma once again. Not up to the quality of the numbers books; this is, however, a fun, fast read. Two hours tops.

Short, not much plot, just fluff. These "between the numbers" books are pretty lame!

Not as funny as some of the Stephanie Plum books, but a good addition to the series. Grandma finds a bag of money and heads to Atlantic City to increase her funds. The only problem is that the money is stolen and she loses some of it at the slot machines. She is kidnapped and Stephanie must find

Typical fun Plum fare! Any book with Lula and Grandma Mazur is sure to be worth the time it takes to read. Which, by the way, won't take too much of your time. Light funny fare, don't expect any deep thoughts or heavy lifting, just enjoy it and go along for the ride.

short and sweet stephanie plum between-the-numbers story. as well paced and hysterical as the main series altho not quite as satisfying. still a nice taste to hold me over until the next full story comes out.

re-read (audio) solely because I usually enjoy Lorelei King's narration (especially of Lula). Not even she managed to make this entertaining.

This book is a light-hearted romp about female bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum recovering her wandering, adventure-seeking Grandma Mazur.

Grandma finds a duffle full of cash, a million dollars, and fights with a "leprechaun" over ownership. Grandma hires a midget,...err umm, "little person," as a

bodyguard, and steals away in the middle of the night, leaving just a note on the kitchen table. Stephanie finds Grandma in Atlantic City, playng video poker, but so has the "leprechaun" and the original owner of the money, mob boss Lou Delvina. With the help of Diesel, Connie and Lula, Stephanie manages to convince Grandma to go home, but before they can sneak her out, Delvina kidnaps Grandma Mazur in exchange for the bag... and Stephanie must find a way to recover the lost money. Will she get Grandma back alive?

This short novel is full of cracks and comedic scenes, slapstick, a naked "leprechaun" at a carwash, and an elevator that's possibly permanently stained with the scent of a horse fart. Plum Lucky is a fun and fast book to read in between the serious books.

Her usual fun! I laughed out loud several times. Of course not much character development but lets face it, we read this series for the entertainment value.

As with all of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels, you know what you're getting. I have enjoyed the 'between-the-numbers' novels less than the ones that are numbered. Stephanie's life seemed complicated enough with two men in her life, that I don't think the character of Diesel is necessary.

particular story lacks the humor that is usually portrayed by the character of Grandma and is indistinguishable to me from Evanovich's other 'between-the-numbers" story.

That being said, if you've enjoyed the other Stephanie Plum books and want to keep up with her adventures, just be sure to check this one out of the library.

Certainly this is not American Literature, but surely it is a book to read at the end of a day when you are tired and simply want to laugh right out loud. The Plum stories are simply escape from everyday stress and a break from heavier reading.

It was time to pick up this book (or rather, load it on to my mp3 player) because I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Fearless Fourteen and didn’t want to skip a book! In this “Between the Numbers” book, Grandma Mazur manages to get herself kidnapped and Stephanie needs to get her back

with the help of Diesel, Lula, Connie, and a few more of Trenton’s wacky characters. Oh, and Doug the horse.

What I like most about these books is the blatant absurdity. Everything is just a touch over-the-top, and that’s what really makes this series. Stephanie just can’t help the crazy things that happen to her, and as time goes on she accepts it just a little bit more. It could have used a little more Ranger, but couldn’t *every* book use a little more Ranger? It’s no great work of literature, but I was thoroughly entertained, and that’s all that matters.

Grandma Mazur finds money, buys an rv modified for little people, and takes it and a driver to Atlantic City. Diesel appears again - 3rd time, and the bad guy does seem to have turned into a toad

What a hoot! I stayed up late and laughed out loud (several times)...great literature, certainly not...great fun, absolutely.

A good read. Not to thrilling as I find all the between the numbers but a good read. Enough of a taste of Stephanie to get me through till the next "number" book.

Typical, light-hearted Evanovich. Not much Ranger this time, sadly and no Morelli at all. The scene where Snuggy removes his clothes to steal a bag of money, because a Doberman tells him he'll be invisible without his clothes made me laugh until the tears were rolling.

Oh my gosh. I love Janet Evanovich sooo much. I laugh so hard when I read her Plum books.

Just hysterically funny. I love Stephanie and this book was just great. I realize she doesn't change, but she is the literary equivalent of comfort food for me.

I loved Doug the horse and the RV. Priceless. Grandma, Lula, the exploding cars, they are all here and very funny.

Audio books make the commute fly by on most occasions and Janet Evanovich's Plum Lucky, a Between-the-Numbers novel, is no exception. My husband and I seem to be hooked on these Between-the Numbers novels because they are humorous, ridiculous in some instances, and fast-paced.

Diesel are back on the hunt, but not for Sandy Claws this time--Snuggy O'Connor who thinks he's a leprechaun. This little person not only thinks he's a leprechaun, but that he can disappear from sight on a whim to steal from mobsters and others. Oh, he also thinks he can talk to animals, like horses.

This reader would have snorted coffee through her nose if she were drinking any when Snuggy talks to a doberman at a mobster's home and the dog convinces him to merely take his clothes off to disappear in front of everyone's eyes. Can you say the emperor's new clothes?

Grandma Mazur returns and finds a bag of money on the sidewalk, which happens to be stolen from a mobster by Snuggy. Grandma doesn't know, heads off to Atlantic City, and is in gambler's paradise before disaster strikes and she's kidnapped by a mobster, Delvina. Snuggy wants to pay off Delvina to get his horse, Doug, back from the mobster and Stephanie and Diesel must team up with Snuggy to recoup the gambled money and pay off Delvina to get Grandma back.

From the snarky comments between Stephanie, Snuggy, Diesel, Grandma Mazur, Lula, and Connie to the details of Atlantic City and Daffy's casino, Evanovich paints a vivid scene with an eclectic cast of characters. Ranger even makes an appearance in this one, along with Morelli.

This made the commute fly by, and I am looking forward to the next Between-the Numbers novel on audio.

Not as entertaining as previous Stephanie Plum noves

Normally I don't care much about the Between-the-Numbers Plum books, as I don't find the stories quite as fulfilling or entertaining as the regular books in this series. This is the first one that I have to say I really enjoyed. The gang was at their finest, and even Diesel grew on me this time

A criminal, a leprechaun, a tiny man, three gorgeous men, a whacked out grandmother, easy trigger fingers, and a few car explosions all in order to save a former race horse. Typical day in the life of Stephanie Plum. And an amusing read for me.

A funny and wacky between-the-numbers novel. When Diesel comes back into Stephanie's life with his strange and almost magical talents, her life is flipped upside down and this time Grandma Mazur is involved and forces Stephanie to go to Atlantic City and rescue her.

A new book on Stephanie. You'd think I'd be ecstatic, and having read it in 3 hours, I suppose I was gung-ho for the whole experience, and yet.... I know I've mentioned before that I don't particulairly like her "between the numbers" Plum reads, but they're reads I devour em like all the rest. The

characters become more than fun lovingly outlandish, they're straight up comic book characters, and they don't really explore the relationships I love in her regularly numbered books, so thats another down side. There was one nude scene in the book that had me laughing for about 10 minutes based on the description itself, so that hiked up the stars for me, and I'll continue to read whatever is put out by Evanovich, its just reading these kinds of books makes me feel as if the bloom has just worn off, and I must mourn it.

St. Patrick's Day in New Jersey rolls around once a year just like everywhere else. But this is Trenton, and it's Stephanie Plum, after all. In Evanovich's latest Between-the-Numbers offering, Stephanie is up to her ears in and over her head yet again. Grandma Mazur has high-jacked a leprechaun's

Rife with the sort of humor Evanovich is known for, if you're already a fan you'll like it, if you're unfamiliar you may not want to drink while reading for fear of snarking your beverage of choice all over your copy. If you're familiar and not a fan, well, you probably didn't make it this far down the review! Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone - enjoy!
