Loading... Hard Eight (2002)by Janet Evanovich
None. I really didn't like this one. It felt like it took me forever to finish it because it was just so boring (I don't really like Ranger that much and don't really want Stephanie to have a relationship with him but even I was cheering for her to sleep with him just to have something spice this up a bit.). This didn't add much to the series at all. I probably could have done without this one. The highlights of this book were Grandma Mazur asking about how to do cybersex, Albert Kloughn getting stuck in the dryer, and a man wearing a rabbit head whipping out his ding-a-ling in front of Stephanie and Grandma Mazur. I still plan on reading more of this series and I hope it picks up a bit. (  ) dpappas | Apr 25, 2013 |  Stephanie outdoes herself in this adventure, managing to be involved in the destruction of or damage to at least five cars (by my count). She is once again being stalked by a sadistic nut, and the only real question is why. The plot connection on this point is extremely thin. Still, the whole gang is there, and I laughed out loud at several points in the book. Evanovich is still at the top of her game. (  ) CandaceVan | Apr 16, 2013 | In usual Stephanie Plum fashion this book is predictable, yet funny. In this one Stephanie decides to help Evelyn Soder’s grandmother. The grandmother is at the point of losing her home thanks to a child custody bond that Evelyn and her daughter bailed out on, but with good reason. In addition to Evelyn’s abusive ex-husband who is looking for her, Eddie Abruzzi, a nasty and violent businessman is also looking for them. Stephanie needs to find them before these do. There were some funny moments, but this time I felt unsatisfied with the ending. The only thing I really liked was that Ranger was more prominent. All the Cuban yumminess made it worth it to me, but I really wish that Evanovich would up the steam factor a bit. (  ) Jaguar897 | Mar 31, 2013 | Stephanie Plum just keeps being who she is. Laugh out loud at the dialogue, and at some of the images -- you just gotta love it. However, I felt this book was a bit too graphically violent to be fun. I'll read another in a month or so, but hope we don't wallow in the darkness. And I think it was a mistake to let her get into bed with Ranger. Where can she go from here? But I'm willing to proved wrong on that. It will take a skillful author to keep up the sexual tension now. I've been listening to the series on audiobook. I found the reader of this one pretty much ruined the fun for me. She didn't have a Stephanie-like accent or cadence. She sounded way too refined. Not what I've been hearing as Stephanie at all. ( ) TerriBooks | Jun 3, 2012 | Ugh. Another wacko into hurting women. I'm getting a little annoyed by Stephanie's lack of competence and her neglect to change that. I did like the ending of this book. I love Stephanie's family.
