One for the Money Review

Janet Evanovich is a great writer.  She brings the characters to life in the novel "One For the Money."  Stephanie Plum seems lke a real person, one that I feel like I have met before.   She is bungling and hilarious.  The book would never flow without the help of all of the characters that are assembled.  Grandma Mazur, Vinnie, Stephanie's parents, Morelli and the asssorted bad guys keep you wanting more.  The visual set that Evanovich paints for you is of a scene that most readers can tap into from thier memories and experiences.  The book is an easy read, and the series flows together nicely.  The great thing about the Plum series is that the books can be read separately without you feeling as though you are missing some of the ongoing plot.  Evanovich reiterates the important facts each time allowing you the freedom of skipping books throughout the series.  Stephanie seems i down to earth and ready for anything as long as her pet is unharmed and she has food.  I am glad to have read this book, and look forward to reading more of Evanovich's work.
