I was not familiar with Janet Evanovich until a few months ago. I got introduced to her writings thru a lending library we have where I work. I started out with the Stephanie Plum 1-10 series and found I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, could not wait to get to the second one, read all the way thru the 10th. I then couldn't wait until I found 11, and ended up buying #12 in hardback. It if really odd that I took to this author as I did. My job is very stressful and I found that Janet's book are "Laugh Out Loud Funny". I have had many people approach me about what I am reading, thus I have introduced others to her writing. I have since then read her 6 books in the "Full Series", Smitten, Metro Girl, Overboard, and am now reading Love Overboard. What Can I say, I am HOOKED. Motor Mouth came out on Oct. 3 and I cannot wait to start it. It follows Metro Girl. I loved the pace, the mystery, and suspense of Metro Girl as I did the characters. Janet's true to life characters "fit" with myself and many people I know. It is truly a joy to find someone who says what she thinks, acts on her principles, laughs at herself and never takes life so seriously. My world is much too serious and Janet's sense of humor has made my life a lot more in balance. I had forgotten how good it feels to laugh right out loud for any reason. Because of the visions her writings paint and the expressions her characters use, you simply cannot help yourself, no matter how conservative you may be. I have not found any other author I have enjoyed more, ever. I am 58, have always been an avid reader, so that says a lot. My other famous authors are John Grisham, Nora Roberts (more as her alias JD Robb)and JK Rowling's Harry Potter series. What is truly disappointing is when a great series that one has enjoyed so much is finished. But with creative minds like these new characters and experiences are just around the corner. I will be watching for ALL Janet's books and plan to own her whole collection, if I don' already. I am glad she has brought back some of her first books. She has grown tremendously but it is apparent her genious surfaced at a very early age. I highly recommend Janet's books-old and new alike. If there is a Evanovich fan club, PLEASE sign me up! Keep up the fantastic works. Sincerely, A HUGE FAN, CHERI W.Read full review
! Florida at it’s best ! This was a fast paced action packed fun adventure. Alex in search of her brother Bill lead her on an adventure of a lifetime. Meeting most interesting people on the way! Alex is fun, funny, bubbly and super cute! I loved this book!!! I started it on a Friday and had it finished by the following Wednesday. I just couldn’t get enough of it. I can’t wait to get started on Motor Mouth the sequel. I didn’t even know what Metro Girl was about I just picked it up and started in on it and feel in love with the characters. I felt like I was there with them. I’ve only read one other book by Janet Evanovich and it was Naughty Neighbor. It seems like everything she writes is awesome. I’m a James Patterson fan and this book just grabbed hold of me and I didn’t want to let go.
I loved this book, but then I love anything written by Janet Evanovich. She weaves such great stories but her sense of humor is THE BEST! I just laugh out loud when I read her books! A big fan, Rae

Janet Evanovich has a very relaxed style of writing which allows the reader to identify with the characters on a more personal basis. The stories are funny and very entertaining. I actually laugh out loud at times. If you want to relax with an easy to read book, Evanovich has plenty to choose from. Mix mystery with a sprinkling of romance and you have an excellent combination. Easy and quick reading pleasure.
I always thought I was a person of intelligence but if I had the chance to have cocktails with ANYONE in the world alive today - I would choose Janet Evanovich. We've read everything she's written and she never fails to make us feel light and happy. What an engaging imagination she has - I truly hope she continues with Stephanie Plum and now with Barney. Laugh out loud - read them all. Wonder if she would put me on the payroll?
