I have read all of the Stephanie Plum novels, right from "One for the money" to this present one and I still love them. Some are better than others and this is one of the funniest. I really don't have a bad word to say about Miss Evanovich. I think that her books are a great tonic in the crime genre with the fantastic madcap humour and really great characters. My only gripe about this one was that the wasn't enough Grandma Mazur, although her foray into online roleplaying games is really hysterical!
If you have read any of Evanovich's books before expect more of the same, but if you're a fan like me that's why you like them....laughs, Bob the dog, Lulu and the Bounty hunter that puts Dog to shame (Well, not quite, but far funnier!).

Disappointing! I am a great fan of Stephanie Plumb, but this was almost too silly to be funny. Not enough Joe or Ranger!

When I was young(er) and foolish, I wouldn't even consider buying a used book. Now that I'm acquiring the wisdom of age and the price of food and gas is escalating, virtually all the books I purchase are second-hand. And FEARLESS FOURTEEN is the poster example of why not to waste good money on a pristine, new copy.
Reading any newest release in the Stephanie Plum series is like eating at the Golden Arches; you always know what you're going to get. But even McDonald's has been known to make radical changes (like offering politically correct healthful salads - to my mind, Yuk!, but that's just me). Author Janet Evanovich apparently doesn't know the meaning of the word "constructive change" and, in the case of this installment, has even lost the concept of "quality". Granted, she must be under enormous pressure from her publisher to keep churning out the Plum adventures, but it could be argued that she just slopped this one out any old way to meet a deadline. It may be time for JE to move on. I know that I am; WHATEVER FIFTEEN won't make it onto my Wish List, new or used, for any price. Free, maybe.
Here, we have the usual regulars of Stephanie, Ranger, Morelli, Lula and Grandma Mazur supplemented by the this-show-only guest cast of eccentric characters. But it didn't really hit me how absurdly silly this recipe has gotten until Zook and Mooner began blasting people with their home-made potato cannon. Moreover, the ending was absolutely flat. And, as has been mentioned by at least one other reviewer, where did the two amputated toes come from?
Plum's career as an accident-prone nabber of bail skippers and her dysfunctional love life only have appeal against a contrasting backdrop of relative normality, even if it's Trenton, NJ normality. But when the context and supporting props of her adventure become as ridiculously slapstick as Stephanie herself, she gets lost in it.
At one point in FEARLESS FOURTEEN, Stephanie asks Morelli to promise to take care of Rex, her pet hamster, should anything happen to her. Oh, please, put a merciful end to Plum now and I'll volunteer to take care of Rex forever.

Yet another Plum book that I really enjoyed. I ended up reading it in one night as I enjoyed it so much.
Lacking sexual tension and grandmas antics! July 15, 2008

I was disappointed with this book as it lacked along the sexual tension of the love triangle and the grandma's mad antic's which I have come to enjoy and look forward to within all these books.
The addition of a couple new charactors added a new dimension to the book although they didn't realy grab me.
Saying this I will still look forward to the next Stephanie Plum novel and if a Stephanie Plum fan it is still a must book to have.
