I recently started reading the Stephanie Plum series. I've read the first two, One For the Money and Two for the Dough. I enjoy these books. I think they're really funny.
I finally got to watch the movie, One For the Money, yesterday. I went into it not expecting much. I'd heard really bad things about it, but I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think it was all that bad, and I liked Katherine Heigl as Stephanie. Would I have wanted to pay $12 to see it in the theater? Maybe not. But for a $1 rental it wasn't bad!
I think those who enjoy the books will like the movie as well.
From the back cover... Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems. Stephanie needs cash--fast--but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family...
Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got in her pants, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water--wanted for murder...
If Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight--and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man...
This month has not been a very productive reading month for me, I finally finished my first mystery for the month, and it was a good one.
I had never read anything by Evanovich before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had seen the previews for the movie, and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. After reading the book though, I'm sure I'll watch it.
This was a really fun book. Stephanie Plum is funny and honest and I really liked her. I started to care about her early in the book, and that's always a plus for me. I like to settle into a book early and stay there. There was enough action, danger, and intrigue to keep me interested. All around I really enjoyed it, and I'm sure this won't be the last Stephanie Plum book I read!
After watching the preview again, I'm super excited to see this!
