Ten Big Ones (Stephanie Plum, No. 10) (Mass Market Paperback)
Posted on | September 29, 2009 |
Review
Stephanie Plum, girl bounty hunter, the terror of Trenton, the bane of her boyfriend Joe Morelli’s existence, and the delight of her crazy grandma’s heart, is in the wrong place at the wrong time–as usual. Just happening to be indulging her nachos jones at a local deli when it’s robbed by the notorious Red Devils, Plum is the eye witness who could put the gang leader, known as the Junkman, behind bars… if he just lets her live long enough. Looking for a place to hide out (more…)
Everything is numbered these days…so let’s take a look at the top ten lists that I like.

It’s important to accessorize properly!
Ok so hands down this one has the best ending so far IMHO.
This makes the tenth for me in four weeks’ish these books are like chocolate. Thanks Janet

This series has been consistently good. Some books are better than others. “Ten Big Ones” is not particularly inspired - but then “To The Nines” is a hard act to follow. The thing that is bothering me is that although Stephanie and Joe are growing characters - the rest of the cast is not. Ranger remains a one dimensional being. He is unable to share any part of himself. Janet continually creates opportunities for him to develop his relationship with Stephanie - and Stephanie is open to it but he is never able to be human. Lula is becoming cartoon character. I resent this very much. She began to grow when she stopped being a prostitute. She got a real job. Now, all she is - is bored - and I’m getting bored with her. She can be funny and outrageous and still become a person! Stephanie’s mother is stiffled. When is she going to break-out of the rut? I want to see these people go somewhere. Not just Stephanie and Joe - but the whole cast. However, I like the way Joe and Stephanie are growing. As a couple, they are comfortable and Stephanie has time to continue finding herself. Joe is becoming a man, a partner. I agree with the other reviewers that the story line is becoming predictable. I think Janet needs to talk with people other than her fans and get some objective feedback. I will continue to read this series because I am fond of the characters but I hope that Janet will consider that there needs to be some substance within the slapstick.

Best Evanovich Book!
This Evanovich book is the best in the series! I’ve read all 14 and can’t wait on 15 to come out, but I still find 10 to be my favorite! It’s just great!

Great, fast read
I love Janets books. They are all interesting, hard to put down and a quick read. Once you start one you have to keep reading til the end.!!

While this book had some funny scenes and some sexual tension, it was disappointing. I agree with the reviewer who said Ranger and Joe were flat. I also didn’t get the feeling that either relationship had moved or changed.
There was only one car fire and even Grandma Mazur and Lula were boring in this one.
I got a strong feeling that someone else had a large part in writing this book; it just didn’t feel like Janet’s work and the writer seemed to have forgotten several important interactions between Ranger and Stephanie.
The book definitely has some good spots that make it worth reading, but if this had been the first in the series, I would not have bought the next one.
Hopefully, Janet’s true writing will reappear in number 11. It’s just too bad we have to wait another year to find out.

One of the Best
This tenth installment of the Stephanie Plum novels is by far one of the best. Stephanie Plum, New Jersey’s notorious bounty hunter and her sidekick LuLu are out to lunch when the…

Another winner for Evanovich
I am running late in my readings of Janet Evanovich’s Plum stories. I just finished reading “To the Nines” about a week or so ago and I thought it was a super read.

Great read
Another great book in the series. Good mixture of romance, comedy, and mystery. I hope she continues with the series for a long time.
