Summary
Out of bail skippers and rent money, Stephanie throws caution to the wind and follows in the entrepreneurial footsteps of Super Bounty Hunter, Ranger, engaging in morally correct and marginally legal enterprises. So, a scumball blows himself to smithereens on her first day of policing a crack house and the sheik she was chauffeuring stole the limo. But hey, nobody's perfect! Anyway, Stephanie has other things on her mind. Her mother wants her to find Uncle Fred who's missing after arguing with his garbage company; homicidal rapist Benito Ramirez is back, quoting scripture and stalking Stephanie; vice cop Joe Morelli has a box of condoms with Stephanie's name on it; and Stephanie's afraid Ranger has his finger on her trigger. The whole gang's here for mirth and mayhem in Janet Evanovich's High Five. Listen at your own risk in public places.

The narrator read too fast to really enjoy listening. She seemed to be rushing through and as a result there was no depth to any of the characters voices.

While I wasn’t crazy over the narrator she at least read a pretty funny book and had me laughing out loud at the perfect drops Stephanie Plum says. Still a book I’d want to listen to again. Maybe while eating fried chicken and beer?

The story was great but the narrator was terrible compared to the narrator who read the first few books.

Worst narration of an audio book I’ve ever heard - absolutely unlistenable. Waste of money getting this or any other she may have read.

This voice wasn’t the best for this book. She didn’t change voices much between characters.

She sounded like a robot and didn’t put any emotion into her reading. She did not do the different voices for each of the characters. Wish that Lorelei king was reading.

Was read way to fast. I can’t get past the first 10 mins. I usually love Stephanie Plum books. But will skip the next 2 books read by this narrator

I love the Stephanie plum series! Janet is such a great author and the characters are all hilarious and she's really good at giving them back stories so that you really feel like you know them! Can't wait to read them all!!

I felt like this book was too Abridged and did not fill in all of the gaps.

It was too fast, and had no variance in character voices. I will not down load another book with her name on it.

Didn't mind the narrator as much as I was disappointed about the book being abridged. Unabridged is so much better.

I'm sorry but I've been spoiled by Lorelei King, the reader of many other Stephanie Plum episodes. The reader of this book was was boring and unimaginative as to the accents etc. of the characters. I could barely finish it.

I have read all the books in the series and I love these books and characters. However, this particular audio version was horrible. The narrator read too fast, she offered no variation in voice, tone, or anything. It seemed like she was asked to read aloud in class. I got the impression that she was uncomfortable. My husband just started to read the series, and had to stop listening to this audiobook prematurely. When he reads the books he now hears this woman's voice. I really don't think she understood the humor in the book. If you can avoid renting or buying this version, I highly recommend it.

Just read the book. The Stephanie Plum Series is like crack for women. I was pulled into the sickness by so many others, "just try one book you'll love it, She great". Great seems to be more an addiction. But now I understand why. It's not just all the wacky stuff Steph gets caught up in, the family, Lula, and such. It's the two men. Oh my god. Morelli and Ranger are just unbelievable. But it seems like whenever some opportunity come up to be alone with either one of them, something messes it up! It's an agonizing tease. She wants the both, they want her too and the two hunks know each other. Like I said, OMG! I've got my own inmages set for Joe and Ranger, Joe looks like Adam Pascal from Rent, and Ranger looks like Guillermo Gomez whos an internationally know martial artist. (You should see Guillermo in a tux ladies, YUM)

I feel like I write the same review over and over when I read Evanovich stories. But they never let me down. They're all wonderful and this one was no different. All the characters are so full of life. Now I think about who would play each part in each book, should they ever become a movie. Haven't figured out the Ranger character yet.

Love, love this book! I love all of the Stephanie Plum books. When ever I am having a down day or just need a laugh I listen to a Janet Evonovich book.

While this book was funny, the narrator ruined it by reading way too fast, running her words together. It was almost as if she was in a hurry to get finished. I will not listen to another book that she's narrated. It was very distracting.

I thought this book was the funniest so far. I was in tears, I laughed so hard.

I normally enjoy Janet Evanovich's books because they are light with an entertaining story line. This one, however, forgot to include a story line.

As with all of the Plum series, I found this one to be just as hilarious and intriguing as the first four. If you want a light read that keeps you giggling, I suggest you start at one and work your way up! Fantastic series!

This was my first "Stephanie Plum" novel. I thought it was a lot of fun - very lite and not too serious. Kept my mind off my commute! I liked the narrator, she sounded the way I pictured the character - believable. I also know someone who is a ringer for "Stephanie" right down to her name, I'm sure this makes the book even more fun for me.
