Sizzling Sixteen Stephanie Plum Novels Janet Evanovich 9780739377727 Books

And I probably liked this book for all the reasons some people hated it! No where on earth would someone keep giving cars to someone who keeps destroying them, but that's what I love about this book, it's outrageous! Yes, amazing that the bottle isn't broken, amazing that Grandma Mauzer isn't dead! But that's what's fun about fiction, it's not real and crazy things can happen. I love Ranger and Joe and even that crazier than crazy Diesel (not from this book) and even her booze drinking Mom who keeps crossing herself. So many of these people have habits and idiosyncrasies of people I know.
This isn't the best of the series, but it's not a horrible book either, it made me laugh and it made me wish just a little bit that I was Stephanie and could cuddle up with Joe and Ranger!
Yes, this book brightened my life a little bit and made me laugh out loud, and that's good stuff. :)

Sizzling Sixteen Stephanie Plum Novels Janet Evanovich 9780739377727 Books Reviews

Wow, that's a long summary! I understand that there are a lot of people who were disappointed with Sizzling Sixteen. You cannot approach the Stephanie Plum series expecting the rules of the "real world" to apply. That's why these books are the perfect summer reads they are light-hearted, funny, sometimes silly, and totally implausible. Implausible, you say? Yes! In what dimension can you

Eat everything you want and not gain weight
Blow up/wreck/irreversibly damage multiple cars
Have an ongoing sexual-tension filled flirtation with two unbearably sexy men and never have either one of them give you an ultimatum
Be saved from danger by grown adults dressed up as hobbits
Never load your gun but manage to get away unharmed every time you're taken hostage (at least one time per book)
Distract an alligator with fried chicken...can you see how I could keep going with this?

If anyone knows a place where things like this actually happen, sign me up---I want to live there. Especially if Ranger will be there too...

Just One Gripe
The plot is kind of weak, as usual. This is overshadowed by the fact that the series is so funny.

The Best Thing About This Book
I read the Stephanie Plum series for the humor. They are laugh-out-loud hilarious! I bust out laughing at least five times per book and Sizzling Sixteen did not disappoint in that respect. Grandma Mazur, Lula, Mooner, the Hobbits, all of it was awesome!
Stehanie's boss Vinnie is kidnapped by Bobby Sunflower who wants a million dollars to set him free. His wife does not care and his family does not want to pay to get Vinnie back. Stephanie, Connie and Lula do not have that kind of money, but they will do anything in their power to set their boss free and keep their jobs.

I am always entertained by Stephanie Plum's books but this one did not feel as entertaining. I liked the plot, Vinnie is tossed around and the continuity seems fine, but I did not find myself laughing at the situations. I like that Connie is playing a bigger part in the book and that they act more as a team. But it was not as fun and I mostly read these because they make me laugh, hence the three stars.
Stephanie Plum is a bond enforcement agent, working for her cousin Vinnie. She is not the best bounty hunter but because of her tenacity and just plain stubbornness, she always seems to track her skips down and eventually apprehends them. Which is pretty good considering she typically does not have her gun with her, and even if she did it most likely wouldn't have bullets in it. She is constantly losing her cuffs, forgets to charge her stun gun every night and caries around extra hold hair spray in lieu of pepper spray.

With this book, her skips included a man wanted for polygamy, a toilet paper bandit, and a drug dealer with a pet alligator name Mr. Jingles. Her biggest challenge is to rescue her cousin Vinnie from the mob with the help of Lula (who was at one time a prostitute) and Connie (office manager). If you like stories with 6 ft alligators, a stampede of cattle running through the streets of Trenton and the thought of hobbits crusading to the rescue, then I recommend this book it is very entertaining and has some hilarious moments with laughter.

Based on the previous series with the Stephanie Plum character, the plot included Lula too much and not enough of Ranger the ex-military mentor and the homicide cop boyfriend Joe Morelli. It also could have included more of the crazy character grandma Muzar.
I am reading/rereading this series & to this point, this is the best & most interesting book of all.
Tho I am sure that each book could be read as a stand alone novel, why would anyone WANT to do thaaat?
Knowing each character a little bit better - as each story passes along, the enjoyment magnifies.
Even if one has to purposefully ignore the standard ploys, such as the heroine "requiring" 2 boyfriends who cannot be chosen between ... etc, this series is STILL an enjoyable series of stories, which have few equals.
My rules are Interests me, Avoids in-ur-face violence or sex, Makes me smile or laugh sometimes ... probably other stuff that will come to me later😊
in this installment of the Stephanie Plum series, she has inherited her Uncle Pip's lucky bottle and this may not be her good luck charm as she may soon be unemployed. Cousin Vinnie has run up a huge debt with his bookie, who in turn is heavily indebted to a mobster. When Vinnie disappears the ransom is the huge sum, with interest. To save her job, and the business, Stephanie, Lula, and Connie must raise the money while trying to track down where Vinnie is held to free him while they try to raise the huge sum of money. Vinnie's rich father in law is no help as Vinnie's wife threw him out just before he was kidnapped. The usual plot lines include demolished cars and Ranger saves. Still a five star story
