Hardcore Twenty-Four: A Stephanie Plum Novel

very enjoyable, hard to put down

This whole series is good for the most part. It's fun to read. The whole zombie thing in this particular book isn't something I care to read about. All the other books in this series rate five stars.

Wow you have such terrible painful and scary experiences and then it looks like her goose is cooked then lula comes Ib lend a hand, but wait will I i I ruin my brand new immation Vera wag shoes, and the two drop dead hunks show to save her-my heart be Still. Now I am sure these men resemble someone in your life. I would love to hear who you are picturing that would. Be picked to play. Them, I would love to see a series on tv done so cool.I know you have been writing for many years I hope you stay healthy happy and always have a fun chilled romance to keep us all young and screaming to be in stephanie s shoes

I have to admire Janet Evanovich for coming up with such amazing plots. Headless corpses are showing up in Trenton. And some people say zombies are responsible. Everyone knows that zombies eat brains.Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is after a bail jumper who’s dressing and acting like a zombie. Or is he one?There’s a lot to love in this book. Like how Stephanie commits to babysitting a 50-pound pet boa constrictor. And how Stephanie ends up with three hot men pursuing her, instead of just the usual two. And what grandma gets up to on the Internet. And what Lula wears for a date with a zombie.

I liked the character choices and most of the storyline. Everything had potential. I just found it to be lacking a lot of substance and perhaps misplaced attention to characters. A lot of time spent on a character that was somewhat irrelevant, and less on the favorites. Love almost all of the books in this series, until this one. It seemed as though the ending was rushed. I felt like she had a maximum page limit and had to cut the ending short. I thought I read somewhere that the author was ending the series at #25. If the next book is the last one, this one should have been setting up a grande finale. It still made me laugh and held my attention most of the time. I liked it, but definitely didn’t love it. Sad, because usually I am anxiously awaiting the next book as soon as I’ve finished reading the current one. Felt a little let down. Has to be hard to write 24 books with the same main characters and keep it fresh. Janet Evonovich is very talented, and I applaud her for doing it as long as she has. I could not do her job. This book sort of feels like she was meeting an obligation though, in my opinion. Will I still read the next one? Absolutely!

Makes me feel better after reading these books. Light hearted and enjoy the craziness the characters get themselves into. Enjoy reading the Stephanie Plum series.

Different than most of her books but it was fun with interesting turns and twist. I always enjoy the adventure.

I can always count on Stephanie Plum giving me a good laugh. I think we all have a little bit of Stephanie in us all

Janet Evanovich has created an absolute gem in Stephanie Plum, not forgetting Lula the ex "Ho". Wonderful, funny laugh out loud funny.

Excellent book. Very good story and many laughs.

L'histoire n'est pas crédible. Lula devient vraiment pénible avec ses effets vestimentaires et son appétit.C'est du répété et on ne croit pas à l'histoire.

I have a confession to make-- I do not care who Stephanie will choose for her forever love interest, or, I have to admit, if she ever chooses.That being said I want to state the reason why I picked this book. For every book I read there are probably 10+ books that I desperately want to read but put on the side of a very, very long wish list because I see something in the description that I need or want at the moment. With the Stephanie Plum books the reason is laughter. I have never read a Stephanie Plum story that I didn't have at least one belly aching laugh out loud moment, sometimes even in embarrassing places with everyone that is there with me looking at me strangely.The story is ridiculous, something that an extremely ordinary person like me (or even most people) never would go through. The characters are quirky, different but exceedingly human and after reading one of these in this series I enjoy most of them. I have read in critics that some find Stephanie too immature and she doesn't grow enough from one book to another. I do not quite see it that way. Yes she has a certain immaturity, but she doggedly goes in situations that she is uncertain of the out come and keeps trying until she succeeds, or asking for help when she knows it is too much for her.Hardcore 24 had a number of belly aching laughs for me ( and yes, a number of them were in embarrassing places). Janet Evanovich had absolutey no problem pulling me in her book and keeping me there until the end.

Love this author highly recommend this book and her other titles
