Seven Up by Janet Evanovich (2002, Paperback)

Okay, I love the Stephanie Plum books! I laugh so hard at so many of the parts! I love GRANDMA! And I would give my left arm to just lay my eyes on Ranger in real life! :) Janet Evanovich's books rock! Easy reads, and easy to get addicted too! Highly recommend!

I bought this book because I am reading all of Janey Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels in order. Stephanie is a hoot!! She is daring, sexy, hilarious and refreshing! I haev to make sure to start a new Evanovich book when I have plenty of time coming up to read because I can't put it down until it is finished! I definitely recommend these novels to anyone looking for an adventure from start to finish.

It is not difficult for me to write this review since I have become a Janet Evanovich addict. Her characters are continually amusing, exciting and mostly are identifiable types. Stephanie Plum is an intelligent and very self-aware woman who knows her strength and weannesses. She has a Grandmother that is a little off-kilter but very fun. I love the interactions among all of the characters in Evanovich's novel and I really hate to have the vicarious adventure end but know I can look forward to the next book from this prolific and gifted author.

I am in the process of collecting all her books i have all but 3 of them left to get...they are excellant stories.when i pick up on of her books i dont want to put it back down...Excellant read

Read them all! If you want to just go somewhere else and enjoy a fun, serious, not serious, real peek into what is really funny, then buy these books and go for it.

I love this series of books. A friend loaned me her copies but the seventh book was missing. I wanted to make sure not to miss any of the series. These books are very entertaining. The series of books are very popular and well worth reading.

This is another good book, even though I liked the last two better.
Steph has traded in Ranger's life-threatening security job for the return of her safer bounty-hunter job, and starts out trying to catch Eddie DeChooch, an 80-year-old train-wreck-of-a-bail-jumper who gets caught smuggling cigarettes, AKA Grandma Mazur's ex-boyfriend, whom she describes as a "non-performing DUD" (if you know what I mean...). The old guy can't see, can't hear and can hardly walk by himself, yet he seems to be able to elude Steph at every turn. DeChooch is trying to catch two of Steph's old doper school buddies who operate a wholesale-retail business out of thier house that includes highjacked and stolen items and drugs, because he thinks they have something he needs in order to keep from being killed. He kidnaps Grandma M., thinking he can exchange her for those two.
In the meantime, Valerie, the "perfect" sister and her two drive-you-nuts-kids, move in with her parents after her husband left her for another "more perfect" woman, and Valerie decides to be "in training" to become a lesbian.
Steph is 'engaged to be engaged' to Morelli, but when she can't find her Grandma M, and her two doper friends disappear, she gets help from Ranger at a price uncompatible with being engaged.
Toss in the ever-deepening love triangle, motorcycle mania, more car chases and totaled cars, more viewing shannigans at Stiva's Funeral Parlor, mud wrestling, a pig heart, more wacky characters that only Ms. Evanovich can come up with and you have another easy read and a great book.

This is Janet Evanovich's 7th book in the Stephanie Plum series. She is again bounty hunting someone slightly dangerous. This time his name is DeChooch. All the while she is fighting the inner fight she has over Joe and Ranger. She fights with temptation and whether or not to give in to her feelings for Ranger. This books gets you interested from page one and you are still wondering what happens about some things when you get to the last page. It is a good mystery wound around action and Stephanie's chaotic life and love life.

I like Janet Evanovich's breezy, funny style of writing. It is a perfect beach read, or anytime you don't want to get too bogged down with weighty matters. You can fly through these books...there are 10 in the series, and I am reading them any way but numerically, but it doesn't matter.

The Stephanie Plum series is one of the better series of writing which has the same main characters. From Ranger to Joe to Gramndma Mazor to the people Stephanie goes after as FTA's, they all have special personalities. You can't wait until she writes another book to see what will happen to Stephanie next.

I enjoyed this book as well as the other two I purchased in the series. I don't care for the vulgar language, but the stories are always great. I always zip through her books quickly and enjoy them a lot. They arrived in good condition and I was able to purchase all three at a great price. Great used book!

Stephanie is assigned to bring in semi-retired mobster Eddie DeChooch when he fails to appear in court for selling contraband cigarettes. When two of Stephanie's burned-out high-school friends, Walter 'MoonMan' Dunphy and Dougie 'The Dealer' Kruper, get themselves mixed up in DeChooch's cigarette scheme -- and then vanish -- Stephanie calls the mysterious Ranger for help.

With Ranger's assistance, plus the 'aid' of two (very polite) hoodlums with a talent for breaking-and-entering, it becomes apparent that DeChooch may have come out of retirement...

To make things worse, Stephanie's perfect older sister Valerie divorces her cheating husband, and moves back in with her family, along with her two daughters. She then proclaims herself to be a lesbian, and adds more craziness to Stephanie's life.

In short, life in Stephanie's world hasn't changed a bit!!!

Loving these books!!! I will read them over and over again on my computer (EBOOKS),but I liked them so well that I wanted the actual book too!!!

Very funny book, again Janet Evanovich has intimately let us look inside the life of Stephanie Plum and her associates and family. Hilarious!!!

I am addicted to this author- she writes books that just suck my attention right to it!! The plum books are a series that Janet Evanovich wrote about a young gal that becomes a bounty hunter and all the crazy things she gets herself into!!

My order was given o me almost a month after ordering it and when i did get it, the wrong book came.

Another great creation by Evanovich, in keeping with her other hits. I have read all her other novels and she is a kick!.

Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels are a scream! Hilarious and suspenseful; hard to put down...love this series!

Another...can't put the book down!!! Janet Evanovich has an excellent style of writing. You can "see" and "hear" Stephanie Plum with all her blunders and hard won triumphs.

I love the Stephanie Plum series that Janet Evanovich has written. I was having a hard time finding this particular book in the series at all the discount stores I usually buy from. I kept hearing about half.com/ebay, so I thought I'd look there. I was able to find and buy the book at a lower price than I would have paid if I had bought it in a store. The book was in the condition described and I loved reading it. I will probably continue purchasing books through half.com/ebay as I am an avid reader who likes to save money whenever possible. I highly recommend Janet Evanovich as an author, as well. When I finish with this series, I plan on reading some of her other books. She's fun and quirky and very enjoyable to read.
