How else can Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden? Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished? For answers Stepha...more

OK I didn't add reviews to the last several books in this series because I was out of town (stuck in a snowstorm back east)& didn't get to my computer until today.

I may be sized more like Lula than Stephanie, but Lycra leggings and a rugby top - my version of her spandex shorts and hockey top - are a comfortable combination I think I'd been neglecting of late, so thanks to Ms Evanovich for reminding me of them.

Janet Evanovich’s Seven Up mesmerized me with it’s dazzling mysteries.

Stephanie stands to make a quick five grand, which she needs to make payments on a hot new car to replace the one wrecked in HOT SIX, by picking up an elderly bond jumper named Eddie DeChooch. Eddie is a geriatric, nearly blind, hard of hearing, over-the-hill-in-bed guy with the kind of connections people have grown to expect in Trenton, New Jersey. When Stephanie and her sometimes partner, Lula, check out his duplex, everything seems in order, until they open a backyard storage shed and find the remains of a Meals-on-Wheels food service lady with five bullet holes in her chest.

DeChooch may be over-the-hill but he's still good at jumping out of windows and escaping from funeral home viewings and mud wrestling clubs, not to mention train wrecks. Nobody can catch the old geezer, including the two men in Stephanie's life --- fiancee Joe Morelli and the sexy and dangerous Ranger. Joe and the Trenton police force can't arrest the guy who cruises the Burg in a white Caddie, while Ranger imposes an offer Stephanie can't refuse in exchange for help in bringing the guy in.

Meanwhile, Mom and Grandma Mazur are having Stephanie fitted for her wedding dress, and Stephanie's perfect sister Valerie drops in from California, children in tow, after her perfect marriage blows up when her husband runs off with the baby-sitter. Evanovich is at her funniest when she portrays Stephanie's family and personal life. For the first time, she fleshes out Stephanie's menopausal mother and has Stephanie doing some self-examination of her romantic quandary --- a new wrinkle that brings an added dimension to the book, without becoming dark and introspective.

Stephanie's two old school buddies, druggies Walter "Moon Man" Dunphy and Dougie "The Dealer" Kruger, are ensnared in the plot when DeChooch uses them to transport something important for the widow of a dead gangster. And thereby hangs the harebrained plot, as slapstick as ever, maybe even more so. We know as soon as we hear that Stephanie has a hot new car that at some point she'll be back driving the indestructible 1953 Buick, because we know that the new car's half-life is measured in days if not hours. We know that Grandma Mazur's obsession with funeral homes will become a centerpiece for action. We know that Joe Morelli and Ranger will continue to confuse and bedazzle Stephanie. We know that Stephanie's parents will provide us with major laughs from America's most dysfunctional family since Edith and Archie Bunker.

I was handed one of these over Christmas and decided to give the series a try. The fact that I haven't put up reviews for any of them is kind of a clue... very fast read and repetitive, occasionally mildly amusing and once in a while worth a good guffaw.

Beyond that, it would seem that such incompetence would be seen as more of a danger to herself and those around her than hot (two hot, competent men jumping her bones?).

Ai tempi in cui facevo ancora le prove per diventare principessa, ogni tanto mi capitava di litigare con il ragazzaccio del quartiere. Aveva due anni più di me. Si chiamava Joe Morelli. Ed era sinonimo di guai.
Litigo ancora con Morelli. E lui continua a essere sinonimo di guai... anche se ora sono il genere di guai per cui le donne vanno pazze.
È uno sbirro, ha una pistola più grande della mia, e non la tiene nel ba-rattolo dei biscotti.
In un accesso di libidine, due settimane fa, mi ha chiesto di sposarlo. Mi ha slacciato i jeans, ha arpionato un dito nella cintura e mi ha tirato a sé. «A proposito di quella proposta, dolcezza...» ha detto.
«Di che proposta stiamo parlando?»
«Della proposta di matrimonio.»
«Dici sul serio?»
«Sono un uomo disperato.»
Su quello non c'erano dubbi.
La verità è che anch'io ero disperata. Cominciavo ad avere pensieri ro-
mantici in cui il protagonista era il mio spazzolino da denti elettrico. Il problema era che non sapevo se ero veramente pronta per il matrimonio. Il matrimonio è roba che fa paura. Devi dividere lo stesso bagno. Cosa c'è di male, direte voi. E le fantasie? E se riaffiora la principessa intergalattica che è in me e devo partire per una missione?
Morelli ha scosso la testa. «Ecco, finalmente ricominci a pensare.»
«Ci sono molte cose da considerare.»
«Avresti un sacco di vantaggi... torta nuziale, sesso orale, e accesso alla mia carta di credito.»
«Mi piace l'idea della torta nuziale.»
«Ti piacciono anche le altre cose» ha detto Morelli.
«Ho bisogno di tempo per pensarci.»
«Certo» ha detto Morelli «prenditi tutto il tempo che vuoi. Che ne dici di pensarci di sopra, in camera da letto?»
Aveva il dito ancora arpionato ai miei jeans e laggiù la temperatura stava salendo. Senza volerlo ho alzato gli occhi verso le scale.
Morelli ha fatto un mezzo sorriso e mi ha tirato ancora più vicino a sé. «Stai pensando alla torta nuziale?»
«No» gli ho risposto. «E neanche alla carta di credito.»

Chi vincerà alla fine??? Joe o Ranger??? (less)

Though with the upside of myself loving the series and knowing they will be great as the more you read them , the more you become familiar with the characters and their habits e.g Granny and her love of Stiva's funeral home and the fact that whenever they have closed-casket funerals , she just has to get into the middle of the action and take a peek inside the casket and of course as we know Stephanie has a charm for finding Dead bodies and one's that are bad enough to host closed-caskets that this is a reoccurring theme. Stephanie and her choice of men , the almost but not love triangle between Stephanie Plum (bounty hunter) , Joe Morelli ( cop) and Ranger (bounty hunter). The fun-loving big-boned sidekick Lula, always at Stephanie's side when she's on the bounty hunter trail and of course, the constant nagging of Stephanie's mum asking why oh why can't she get a normal job as they always seem to have openings at the button factory. The only downside I find when reading the Stephanie Plum books and Seven Up was no different, is that the plots are too busy - so many different things happening and lots of characters.

In Seven Up, Eddie Gooch has missed his bail date and for an old man he's normally not really a threat and he owes Vinnie bail money so the file is given to Stephanie. For Stephanie , this case turns out to be personal as Eddie had a fling recently with her Grandmother Mazur and it seems that Eddie did business with old classmates of hers Dougie and Mooner. When Eddie is nowhere to be found and Stephanie finds a dead body in Eddie's garage - has he done a runner ?
All seems a bit suspicious but gets really weird when Dougie goes missing and Mooner turns up to Stephanie's looking for help. It seems though as usual Stephanie isn't short of male company as a couple of Eddie's friends want her help in locating Eddie. However it seems that this case isn't exactly going anywhere , so Stephanie does what she always does when she gets in a jam- Calls Ranger for help. Ranger willing to help her , in return of a favour- she is to spend the WHOLE night with him. This would normally not be awkward but it seems wedding plans are circulating about Joe and Stephanie .
We also meet Stephanie's sister Val and her two daughters when they make a surprise visit to her parent's house, arriving in a Taxi which is like the Limo equivalent in the burg of Trenton, New Jersey.

Another wonderful and humourous tale in the life of Stephanie Plum written by the talented Janet Evanovich and stay tuned readers when I bring you book #8 in the Stephanie Plum Series(less)

Something I think a lot of people forget about this series is that it's not supposed to be literary genius. It's supposed to be entertaining, lighthearted, fun. While the basic plot of the books in this series tends to have the same set-up, what changes is the personal relationships. I think the action of the books is more of a means to an end. The characters need something to do so they are hunting down bad guys, and in the process the real story, the story of the character relationships, devel...more

OK, so this is the one exception to my automatic-4-stars-for-Ranger rule. I guess this book could be 3.5.

I once again made the (probably unwise) decision to start book seven immediately after finishing book six, because I wasn't thrilled about how book six ended and needed to see whether it was really going to play out that way. So that made this my third Plum book in a row with nothing in-between, which made this the book where the repetition really started to get annoying.

The secondary characters are what have kept my interest but now even that is not enough to get me through Stephanie's stupidity.

Initially I was thrilled when I received the unabridged audiotape version of Seven Up. I love Stephanie Plum and her bumbling bounty hunter adventures and figured these tapes would be a welcome distraction during my long drive to and from work. But once I actually started listening to tape one I wasn't quite so thrilled.

Now don't get me wrong, the story here is your typical Plum novel that's filled with madcap adventure and larger than life zany characters. This time around Stephanie Plum, our lovable bounty hunter, is chasing after an old coot named Eddie DeChooch. What should be an easy catch and easy money for Stephanie turns into so much more when a body is found on DeChooch's property. Kidnappings follow and a mad search for a missing organ ensues. To complicate matters Stephanie's sister returns home and decides she's going to try out life as a lesbian. Along with her are her two annoying kids, one who thinks she's a horse. Fellow bounty hunter Ranger tempts Stephanie by simply being Ranger but Stephanie is still somewhat engaged to Joe Morelli the drop dead sexy cop. The action is pretty much non-stop and there are many more characters (a few too many, if you ask me) who make appearances and add to the overall wacky tone of the story.

Like I said, this is standard Plum fare. Though not as laugh out loud funny as some of the earlier Plum outings this story is a great way to spend a few hours. BUT please make sure you buy the paperback and not this unabridged audiotape version with a very flimsy box, I might add.

Why? Simply put the narrator, Tanya Eby, single-handedly saps the enjoyment out of the tale by slaughtering the voices. Her reading makes the listening experience highly painful. The New Jersey accents are horrendous and, what with all the "R" dropping, sound to my MA/NH ear more like a cartooney Boston accent than anything else. Adding to the problem is the fact that most of the characters come off sounding very much alike and at times the accent falters completely. It became very confusing and headache inducing. There are too many moments where Stephanie's voice spouts out Morelli's lines or vice versa. It was disconcerting to say the least. Mooner (or should that be Moona?) and Dougie sound like identical morons instead of the lovable pot heads we know them to be. Daffy Grandma Mazer sounds like Katherine Hepburn on a very bad day and, well, I could go on but I'm sure you get the picture. This narrator may be a fine actress but she was a poor choice for this story. This is a cringe-worthy performance to be sure.

I give this production 2 stars. The story actually rates a four but the torturous reading of the book drags it down to a three.(less)
