Motor Mouth by Janet Evanovich (2006, Hardcover)

Love the new adventure of Barney and Hooker! Just when you think there couldn't be anything else to write about a NASCAR driver and his gal, Janet Evanovich comes in and steals the show. Another fabulous story by Janet that I could not put down until I had it done! Awesome book by an awesome author!

JANET EVANOVICH DID IT AGAIN, ANOTHER MASTER PIECE, THE LADY IS TRULY FUNNY.READING HER BOOKS JUST KEEP BRINGING OUT THE LAUGHTER IN ME. I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS ANY AUTHOR WITH SUCH WITTY WAY OF WRITING.

This book is another one in a sort of series by Janet Evanovich. Too much violence in this one for me. The first one was much better.

Great deal to buy these books on ebay but watch shipping charges. Sometimes they are just too high.

Being a huge Janet Evanovich fan, I bought this book as soon as I saw it. I've read all of the Plum series and the first Barnaby book, which I also enjoyed.

I feel this one was cranked out too fast.
Barnaby is smart, good looking, terrific female mechanic and takes no crap from most men...so why is she still with Hooker when he cheated on her. Somewhere between the two books?? Would have been better to have included that incident and WHY Barnaby is still working with Hooker.
Then the main plot goes from helping a friend, to being chased by a mafia like family and the cops and being blamed for every murder going on.
It got to the point I put it down for a good month before I finished it. It was getting too silly and unbelieveable...and these big goofy dogs in all the books have to go. In one series ok, but all of them?? Does she have a big sloppy dog perhaps? OK but I don't need him in every book of hers I read.

In the end I did finally finish the book, hoping it would get better. It didn't. I wasn't thrilled with the conclusion as it left alot of questions open ended.

I feel if she's going to continue with this series, that she needs to tighten up the plot, characters.

I decided to buy this book because I am a huge fan of Janet Evanovich.
Even though it took some getting used to NOT reading about her other sleuth, Stephanie Plum, Sam Hooker is as sassy and funny.
Evanovich is extremely satisfying reading. In a world where stress and sadness seem to get the better of us in a lot of ways, Janet's books are a welcome respite.
Her books are wel written. Her stories hilareous. And I for one, NEED books like hers to keep my sanity.
If you want laugh out loud/peeing your panties reading, Janet Evanovich is the author for you!

I am always anxiously awaiting the next Janet Evanovich novel. Whether it's her re-released romance novels, Stephanie Plum, or this new series. Her characters are real and I ALWAYS laugh out loud when I'm reading one of her books. I wouldn't miss a single one and there is NO author I can recommend more highly!

Evanovich strikes gold-again!! I only have one problem-I read faster than she writes!! Any Evanovich book is a winner in my book-and I almost have all of hers!

This, the newest book by popular Janet Evanovich, has all the things you expect. There is lots of Humour, Sex, Casuel Murder, Mayhem, Crazy people and silliness all involved with NASCAR racing. But it did seem as if she worked hard but could not quite pull it off. This new character is just not Stephanie Plum. It is a fast reading book with a lot of sick humour (the mcguffin was in the dog poop). You will enjoy it, but will still be waiting for the next Stephanie Plum.

I was really looking forward to the release of this novel and had high expectations. Too bad many fell flat. I really like Barney's character. How could I not like a woman with her skills? She's smart, fun, and capable! That only makes me wonder what she sees in Hooker. He's not smart and the only thing he has going for him are his looks. The majority of the book shows that Evancovich is definitely courting Nascar fans. That is all well and good, however the story plot gets lost along the way.

Barney gave up her boring job in insurance to be a spotter for Nascar driver, Sam Hooker, after their first adventure. Barney and Hooker's personal relationship went south, however, after he cheated on her with a salesclerk. They team up to rescue their friend Gobbles when he gets locked in the car hauler of some shady characters, and find themselves framed for murder, as well as on the run from people who want to kill them. They have all the makings of a funny book, it just does not come together quite the way it should!

What I do have a problem with is the way the book gets bogged down by silly pratfalls that fail to be funny. She relies on her old standby of a big, stupid dog, but people getting continually knocked to the ground by a drooling St. Bernard is just annoying, and not in the least bit funny. The fact that he chews on dead people redeems him. That really got a laugh. Toward the middle, I actually started to like the book as Barney and Sam were figuring things out, but then the story descended into a worn-out slapstick dog poop adventure we've seen way too many times now.

All in all the book was ok. I am a big fan and I will probably buy the next one again in hardback just to see if it is any better. This is a fun read, just not up to the standards Evancovich is capable of!

Very happy with purchase, cannot wait to read the book! I great condition, just like described in the listing. Will buy again from seller!

Janet Evanovich is fast becoming my favorite writer. She has an amazing sense of humor and always has great characters that you love to love.

Love the characters, Burnaby is powerful. Adventurous and suspenseful. Suggest to read both series. Excellent chemistry between characters, Janet does it again!

I like everything about it. Her books are hilarious and colorful. I read all of her books. That is why I decided to buy this one. I will buy others. Her bookss are highly referred to by me.

I liked this book alot, it was very good and funny and it kept me reading. I really enjoyed the first book METRO GIRL alot more. The characters are really funny and keep you going!

I just started this book and so far I really like it. I really like the author thats why I bought the book in the first place and I will buy all I find from this author

i really enjoy reading janet evanovich's books. i received the first 3 for christmas. since then i have bought every one of her books. i'm looking forward to reading the full series.

Certainly worth reading, but not as good as the first in the series, "Metro Girl". "Metro Girl" was non-stop laughs and I couldn't put the book down. "Metro Girl" was entirely believeable. "Motor Mouth" is fun reading, but several scenes are stretched beyond reality and it isn't filled with the laughs of "Metro Girl". "Metro Girl" went down the sexual relationship road too far & had no class to it, where in "Motor Mouth" the flirting & sexual tension was just plain fun & a barrel of laughs. Yet, it was a good book and keeps me looking forward to the next in the series!

I love the story lines in Janet Evanovich books. She was recommended to me and since then I have purchased every book I find on ebay wrote by her. I totally recommend anyone needing a good book to read to check out all of this authors books. Motor Mouth was a different story than the other ones and it was no surprise when I loved every minute of reading.

I bought the book because I enjoy the writing. A hit by Janet Evanovich. I enjoyed this book. A good laugh, looking forward to the next book in the series.

very fast delivery. book in new conditiion. will do bussiness with them again

Evanovich is pure genius. I love this new series as much as the Plum books. As soon as I start reading her novels I can't put them down, and I find myself laughing continuously. Don't forget to read Metro Girl as well.

I seen it on the ad for new books and knew I could get it cheaper on Ebay. One of my favorite authors who makes me laugh. I have almost all her books and I got them on Ebay.

I love Janet Evanovich and have all of her books. my problem is that I have poor eyesight & need to have large print editions.
The seller had good communication & super fast shipping.
This was a great buying experience.

I now have all of the Evanovich books. I love the way she writes. Can't waite for the next one. The charactors are a hoot and they always get into more trouble than they are looking for.
