Four to Score (Stephanie Plum Novels)

Amazon.com

Stephanie Plum, the trash-talking New Jersey bail bondswoman of this popular series, is tracking Maxine Nowicki, who's wanted for skipping out on a car-theft charge lodged by her ex-boyfriend. Now the ex-boyfriend's very interested in getting back the love letters he supposedly wrote to Maxine. But what he's really looking for is the secret on which Evanovich hangs her screwball cast of colorful minor characters, including Sally Sweet, a cross-dressing drag queen; Lula, the 250-pound ex-hooker who works for Steph's boss; Cousin Vinnie, the bail bondsman; Grandma Mazur, who packs a Glock and is always looking for a little action; and Joyce, a wannabe bounty hunter who's been cramping Steph's style since she played pass the salami with Steph's ex-husband. The action doesn't get much farther from Trenton than the Jersey Shore, but when Steph's apartment and car are blown up by the others on Maxine's trail and she moves in with Joe Morelli, the handsome, arrogant cop she's been hung up on since high school, it gets hotter than the craps table in Atlantic City. Plum's fans won't be disappointed in this fourth outing in the series, and they're likely to be even more interested in the snappy patter and sexy shenanigans than in the mystery that holds it all together. --Jane Adams

Book Description

Stephanie Plum, Trenton, New Jersey's favorite pistol-packing, condom-carrying bounty hunter, is back--and on the trail of a revenge-seeking waitress who's skipped bail. With then help of 73-year-old Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker Lula, a transvestite musician named Sally Sweet, and the all-too-hospitable, all-too-sexy Joe Morelli, Stephanie might just catch her woman. Then again, with more mishaps than there are exits on the Jersey Turnpike--including murders, firebombs, and Stephanie's arch-rival bounty hunter chasing after the same fugative--Stephanie better watch her back big-time if she wants to live to crack this case.

Stephanie Plum series.......2007-09-02

I love the Stephanie Plum series of novels. I really hate reading so I purchase them both in audio for me and paperback for houseguests and friends. I'm drawn in with the excitment and adventure of the story that Janet seems to capture in every novel. It has twists, turns, Lula, mystery, wonder, and of course two very "HOT" men! Who wouldn't want a mix of both men. :} I would recommend the "Plum" series, her "Full" series, as well as her earlier novels of mixed titles. They're all great fun and keep you as a reader at the edge of your seat waiting to see if a cars going to get blown up, who's died this week, who attends the pot roast dinner, who she sleeps with next, what will burn down next, and will she get her man (love or bounty). I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. I look forward to #14 in the "Plum" series, the next "Full" novel, and the new novel Janet recently wrote with a new author being released this October. Thank you!

Stephanie Plum does it again!.......2007-07-16

In this novel stephanie manages to get herself caught up in something that is not her business(so what else is new?).Janet Evanovich has managed to keep me laughing hysterically at this one.If you have never read any of the stephanie plum series, I advise you to please start from the beginning.You'll definitely get your moneys worth with these!

narrator review.......2007-06-14

I'm confused. The first half dozen or so Evanovich books were read well. Then suddenly around "Eight..." they started to sound bland. I miss the old Grandma.

Another Good One.......2007-05-23

In this book Steph is on the trail of a woman who stole her boyfriends car and leads Steph and Lula on a merry chase to the shore. Danger has Steph moving in with her sometimes boyfriend Morelli. This book introduces Morelli's grandma who can put the hex on people and she see's visions of kids in Steph and Joe's future.

This is another great book in the Plum series. I love them all and can't wait for more.

The worst narrator ever- read the paperback, don't listen to the book.......2007-03-27

This is the only Stephanie Plum audiobook narrated by CJ Critt. She is the worst Stephanie Plum ever. Read this book...don't try to listen to it. The other Stephanie Plum novels are narrated by Lorelei King who is good, or Lori Petty, who is even better.

Book Description

What an event! What a show! It's catchy and quirky. Tuneful and toe-tapping. Exuberant, unexpected, and utterly endearing. It's what happens when you take America's beloved illustrator and children's author and combine her buoyant genius with some of the most talented people on the stage—presenting Philadelphia Chickens!

Created by Sandra Boynton, Philadelphia Chickens is a family musical in a book, bringing together a full-color songbook of 17 1/2 illustrated story-poems with a full-length, fully orchestrated CD of original songs performed by the likes of Patti LuPone, Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, The Bacon Brothers, and Laura Linney, who pleads "Please, Can I Keep It?"—it followed me home. / What exactly it is/ I don't know. Also joining in are Eric Stoltz, Natasha Richardson, Scott Bakula, and two Boyntons, including daughter Caitlin McEwan, who performs a piece that every little listener will relate to—a love song to the chocolate chip cookies that are just out of reach. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford (known to Boynton fans from Rhinoceros Tap), Philadelphia Chickens is that rarest of kids' musical discs—one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as sing-along, dance-along, cluck-along for parents as it is for their children.

good for kids and adults.......2007-10-13

My 3-year-old loves the songs, and her parents enjoy the music as a break from the usual children songs. The lyrics are amusing and we all love them. We have the other Sandra Boynton books (Snuggle Puppy, Pajama Time, Bellybutton book), so it is nice to be able to put the books to music.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-10-04

My daughter loves music and this is a fun, lively, entertaining album that we listen to all the time. Tunes are catchy and I find myself still listening after she goes to bed and am often still singing/humming the songs after I've turned it off.

Utterly Meaningless Fabricated Music For Obnoxious Children.......2007-09-14

My children love music. Our home is basically an opera house with all four of us singing about everything as we go through the day. As a homeschooling mom, I am looking for beautiful, creative, and meaningful music that will inspire us and bring joy to our day. The many good reviews for this book-album had me all happy about it. When I found it at our library, I was so excited!

My elation fell when I heard the opening number, Cows. "It MUST get better," I told myself as the droning/moaning "we're remarkable cows..." continued for nearly 3 minutes. Sadly the remaining 16.5 songs continued with only slight variations of obnoxiousness.

My almost 4-year-old daughter declared the music to be "Creepy," a word which I can't recall her ascribing to anything else in the world. It was like a bunch of automatons singing soullessly about random animal-related topics. I like silly stuff, I like animals, and I even can get along with pop culture to an extent. However, the lack of feeling in the singers' voices, the similarity of the songs to one another, and the overuse of meaninglessness immediately gave me the impression that the music was fabricated for sales, contrived not for love of music and beauty and art and children, but for success.
...And with me, it failed.

I give it 2 stars simply because the idea is good and it COULD have been well executed if the writers and singers were more creatively and passionately inclined.

But don't take my word for it...
Just borrow it from the library before you make the commitment.

A carload full of fun.......2007-09-10

My daughter borrowed this book from the library and didn't want to give it back. We borrowed it twice and then bought our own copy. She loves to dance and sing the songs...especially the one that the lion sings about being very busy! She almost has it memorized! I hope they make a DVD to go along with the songs!!!

Fun!.......2007-08-27

My kids love this book and CD, mostly the CD. It is fun! You can sing and dance and enjoy it as a child or an adult. It can be fun for the adults to guess the celebrities singing the songs. It is great for either dancing with the kids around the room or the kids singing themselves to sleep listening to it. I bought copies for my 2 nieces to enjoy too.

Book Description

Most college-bound test-takers already know that 2400 represents a perfect score on the new-format SAT. This book focuses on meeting the needs of top students, the young men and women who believe they can approach that perfect score when it’s time for them to take the SAT. The authors skip past obvious test-taking strategies, coaching students on the do’s and don’ts of smart test-taking, using focused and effective techniques. Their goal is to help top students score 700 or above on all three sections of the new SAT—Critical Reading, Writing, and Math. A score of 2100 or higher will set test takers apart from the crowd, placing them in the top 5% of high-achieving students throughout the country, and virtually guaranteeing them acceptance to the most prestigious and academically challenging colleges. The authors present strategies for tackling the hardest questions on the SAT. Critical Reading strategies are given for both long and short passages. Coaching for the Writing Section covers essential grammar for the three question types and guides students on how to write an exemplary essay in 25 minutes. The Math Section reviews topics in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, and word problems. The book features many practice questions in all test areas with thorough answer explanations. Valuable appendices include upper-level vocabulary lists and useful math formulas. High-achievers will value this book as that extra leg-up to help them get those scholarships and gain admission to the college of their choice.

Excellent.......2007-06-22

The first time I took the SAT, I didn't really study that much - I just took two practice tests the week before. I got a 2120, which is an okay score, but not what I was hoping for. After studying from this book for approx. 2-3 weeks, I got a 2330 on my second try. Although it's not perfect, I'm really happy with this score. 1st try: 720 cr, 680 math, 720 writing --> 2nd try: 740 cr, 800 math, 790 writing. So it really helps! Good luck :)

Big Help.......2007-05-25

I didn't take any review courses so I depended soley upon this book and practice tests for preperation. It offered tips that I would have never thought of on my own, especially with the Critical Reading sections. I didn't use the math sections, but did use Writing and Reading extensively and was happy with both. I highly recommend this book. With it I went from a projected score of 2110 on my PSATs to a 2310 (1560 for Math and Reading) on my SATs, first try. Big help.

Its OK.......2007-05-24

First of all, im not a kid. I'm 16 blah blah, i used kid review b/c i didnt want to sign in.
This book wasnt exactly what i was looking for. It has excellent tips and what not, but not much practice. It's just a bunch of reading, acronyms, test taking tips and few questions near the end. So if you're looking for tips, get this, if you want a practice book, get something else- like the book by college board

Know An Author.......2007-03-01

I know Mrs. Rosalyn Teukolsky, she is the computer science teacher at the high school where she taught me computer science. She is a fantastic math teacher and really knows her stuff. Nearly all of her students get 5's on the Computer Science AP exam due to her skill at teaching and the strategies she has developed over the years.

Speaking of strategy, Mrs. Teukolsky loaned me a copy of her book while I was studying for my SAT's and that is exactly what this book is for. It says right in the beginning that this is a book for those that know the majority of the material already, and that just need that extra edge to get a 2400. The tips, tricks and strategies in here are great, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels that need that edge to get a perfect score.

2350--Not exactly a perfect score, but close enough..........2007-02-14

With the help of this book, as well as some difficult classes, I made a 2350 on the SAT (Math-800, Reading Comp-800, Writing-750). I only took the SAT three times: June 05, June 06, and Oct 06 and used this book for the last two times. I improved my score 370 points and I loooove this book.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone taking the SAT that can already make a decent score and can handle most of the basic questions. This book does what is says it will and shows you how to handle the tricky level 4 and 5 questions. I like how the math is divided into topic sections (algebra, geometry, stats..) and how it provides tips for each type of question that you'll see in all three sections. However, don't expect this book to teach you what you don't already know although it does review stuff with you and show you how to work the problems. It's important to take hard classes and learn all you can. That way you don't have to study a book like this or cram vocabulary words but can simply review the tips and topics.

Even though some colleges weigh your SAT scores pretty heavily, don't forget that it's just a number and it really won't matter that much once you're in college. It's not like you're going to tell your grandchildren what a great score you made. Well, I hope I was some kind of help. Good luck and don't stress out =).

Tremendous score.......2007-09-06

This is GREAT! So happy this was finally released. My husband and I are both musicians. Can't tell you how marvelous it is to watch this score while listening to the Beatles' performances.

Complete Beatles Song Library.......2007-09-01

If you love the Beatles and love music - this is a must have. It is beautiful looking in hard cover and slides into a nice protective sleeve. The print is small and so tough to read. A way around this would be to provide a CD or download capabiltiy with a password so a purchaser could print out a particular song. I would have rated this a 5 with this included. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to own this -- plus I think its a pretty good value, but I would pay $10 more to be able to download the music or have a companion CD/DVD.

Amazing. Binding easy to fix........2007-08-23

As previous reviewers have said, the transcriptions aren't perfect, but the errors are minor enough that anyone with enough of an ear to notice them can fix them. For the amount that this collection is an absolutely awe-inspiring piece of work, I don't think that a few minor errors should count against it.

Many reviewers have had issues with the binding being too thick and the book too big and cumbersome to balance on a music stand. I fixed this problem by simply taking the book to a copy shop and having them rebind it for me into three volumes. It only cost me ten dollars and it has made my life infinitely easier.

Small type no problem.......2007-07-30

An excellent resource for musicians. The small type mentioned in numerous reviews is not that small and anyone with access to a copier can enlarge the image of any song you happen to be working on. I was impressed that even "Revolution #9" was scored. A very good companion volume to "The Compleat Beatles" that I purchased back in 1982.

Beginners to Cover Bands.......2007-07-18

I've been trying to teach myself guitar for over two years now. Being in my forties, I don't have the time (or talent)to sit with a CD/MP3 player and try to figure a song out. I've purchased other song books, chordbooks, easy play books, etc... Each one falls short in providing not only accurate information, but enough information for a relative beginner to play. This book provides, in my opinion, all the necessary information for a beginner, expert, or cover band to play. Notation, tab, chords, chord fingering and strumming patterns. To date, this is the only book I would recommend.

A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE.......2007-05-13

I LOVE IT! I recieved this book about a month ago and it was the best and smartest purchase I've ever made. My husband and I were looking to move to another house, but because of some financial hardship two years ago his credit score had dropped. We called one of the "credit repair compainies" and found it would cost over $700 just for a couple of months service. I felt that price was too high. So I decided since this is something we could do ourselves why not give it a try. I started reading and highlighting the book 10 minutes after I got it. This book has something for everyone, it doesn't matter if you are trying to build credit, going thru a Bankruptcy or being pressured by collections. GET THIS BOOK. Our score has already jumped 40 points in the first month, and keeps rising. I believe in a year we will have a score of 800. It is really helpful and I can not say enough wounderful things about how much money this book will save us in the future.
If you are on a time crunch to raise your credit score I advise (from personal experience) to pull your credit report from all three bureaus before you get the book.

The best $67.00 I have ever spent.......2006-07-17

Greetings To All. I would rate this book a perfect 10 if I could. I want to take this time to let everyone know that the information in this book is allowing me to truly understand the various credit laws, FICO & Vantage scores, ways to fight incorrect information on your credit report and so much more. My credit score is now in the mid-600's. It increased about 80 points. I was able to obtain a Chase Mastercard and a VISA as well. I am learning how to use these credit cards to build my buying power. This book shows you all the do's and things to avoid. I have no doubt that the Credit Secrets Bible is going to help me get a credit score of 800 after I have made bad decisions regarding my credit. At first, I was skeptical, but my sister ensured me it was worth it. I am so glad I did! Still not convinced, email me @

Excellent Credit Repair Resource.......2006-01-12

This book is worth every penny I paid. 100% as advertised. I was able to remove several items off of my credit report and increased my FICO score by 48 points in one month! This ended up getting me a loan on my new car at 3.9% instead of 7.5% I'll end up saving over $3000 over the 60 months for the loan. One wish - can you make a hardcover edition of this book? I used mine so much it's falling apart! I have more highlighted paragraphs in this book than I do in my regular church bible. Go figure. Again, thanks for such a great resource!

Finally released! This has every song on the OBC Recording and it sounds wonderful! It is extremely difficult to play though, as most Sondheim music is.

Great reference material.......2007-05-19

The vocal score for "Into the Woods," while not practical for use at the piano due to the nature of the binding, is a terrific study aid for those interested in analyzing Sondheim's brilliant work. I recommend it to anyone wishing to enhance his or her understanding and appreciation of the piece.

Good value.......2007-01-05

Good condition, received fast. It's great, it's Sondheim, what else can I say?

Generous and Wonderful.......2005-08-31

Being one who always wanted to audition using the Witch's song or the Baker's Wife's song, I am delighted and grateful to Sondheim and Co. for putting out this amazing vocal score. The effort to do so must have been incredible. My only wish, not complaint, is that the chords were also represented by "C" or "Dmaj7" so that I could play along as I sing. I can read music, but if I have to play piano chords by sight only, it takes me days to finger it one note at a time. Well, that's probably my fault - practice, practice, practice! Anyway, it's quite a thorough job and now I have audition pieces galore! Only hope the accompanists can play it!

grrrrreat!.......2005-08-03

The musical score was in tip top shape and it came to my house in perfect timing for me to be able to use it for a local production. thank you.

Good Confidence Builder With Value Plus.......2007-10-04

If you don't want to overwhelm your SAT candidate with GIANT books filled with scary tests, use this book as a stepping stone. It's small enough to fit into a back pocket, has an encouraging tone and will help with motivation. It is not enough for the SAT's by itself, but it is a good baby step to build confidence to move into the bigger books. Most students can handle 3 minutes and once they are successful--are willing to move into more substantial study time. Overall, good warmup book to prepare students to learn.

Don't bother.......2007-05-31

As a tutor I bought this book thinking I could use it for some of my students. The book is too short and what there is consists of vague generalizations, and cutesy comments. Some of the quotes are funny, but there is too little of substance to justify buying this over the many other SAT books available.

Dissappointed.......2007-05-28

Throughly pleased with Randall McCutcheon's other 3 Minutes A Day book for the SAT essay, I purchased this book with high hopes. While this book was far more interesting than other books, the lack of examples and obvious tips made this book not very helpful. Then again, one does have to realize that it is difficult to be both concise and comprehensive. For a quick review of the verbal section, this book is great. However, if you need intensive help with reading, I would suggest a different book (or just more practice). The practice passages in the end particularly irked me. The passages were informative and interesting, with one or two follow-up questions. These passages, however, are not reflective of the real SAT, which usually has obscure or boring passages. This book is a fun read, but lacking in true practice material.

Bilal Malik.......2007-01-07

The anonymous mother" from New Jersey who reviewed the book is definitely wrong. This prep guide is far more entertaiing than any other I've encountered. But her teenager may have a problem if he can't concentrate for three minutes a day. As Dylan Thomas explained, "Someone is boring me. I think it's me."

Book Description

A breakthrough approach to putting from the PGA Tour's premier short-game guru

PGA stars such as Jay Haas, Craig Stadler, Peter Jacobsen, and Darren Clarke have all sought advice from fellow pro Stan Utley about their putting, and have gone on to such immediate success on the green that Utley has become the most in-demand teacher in the game. Now, in The Art of Putting he outlines his unique approach to putting for golfers of all skill levels. In a welcome change from mechanistic and overly-complex putting "systems," Utley breaks down the putting stroke to a simple, natural motion, revealing a straightforward method for learning this sure, repeatable stroke.

As he guides you through the fundamentals of the proper grip, posture, alignment, and swing, Utley will overhaul and improve your stroke by putting feel back into your game. This definitive book also provides:

• A complete primer on club design, with tips for finding the putter most in tune with the nuances of your swing
• A guide to the sensory aspects of a good putt, from grip pressure to impact response to the way a putt should sound
• Simple steps for reading greens accurately, every time
• Drills to commit your putting stroke to muscle memory and overcome the tics that can knock your putts off line
• Cures for the mental hurdles you'll face on the short grass

Customer Reviews:

This changed my putting life.......2007-10-17

This is, hands down, the best putting fundamentals book I've ever read. I'm not talking about the psychology of putting (check out Robert Winters or Bob Rotella for that). I've competed at the highest levels of the amatuer game and my putting has always been a drag on my scores. After reading this book and implementing the ideas, I've gone 15 rounds with only 2 three putts while my handicap dropped from a 1 to a +1. READ THIS BOOK.

Putt Like a Pro.......2007-09-24

Why attempt to putt differently than the way you make a full swing--around, not straight back and through. Learn from the guru and watch your handicap fall.

Before I read this book, I struggled with speed or lag putting. Utley's method is a pure swing-door stroke, which changed the way I was taught, i.e., straight back and straight forward. So, this book opened a whole new way to putt for me. I even had my putters bent according to his recommendations, and I've never been more confident on speeds with even 40 footers uphill. Combined with visualizing the hole further for uphill and visa versa for downhill, plus keep the head still thru the stroke, this method fosters greater power and accuracy with less effort for those long putts.

Great read.......2007-08-13

I really like Stan Utley's books (started with the Short Game one); I changed my putting grip based on his recommendation and it has really developed my feel - still working on the arc, but have already started putting quite a bit better overall. Great book, nice pictures, pretty straightforward.

A quick read with good information........2007-07-05

After reading the Art of Putting I changed my putting style. Stan Utley provides time tested methods for improving performance on the green. I replaced my putter with the type he recommended and adjusted my grip and my stance. I now have much more confidence when putting.

Your Credit Score: How to Fix, Improve, and Protect ..........2007-06-06

This book is written in the straight-forward, easy to read style Liz uses in her weekly columns for MSN Money. It gives a lot of basic information as well as "how to's." I definitely recommend this book for those who want to improve their score by either fixing it or protecting it.

Wonderful Book.......2007-05-21

When I bought this book, I was very skeptical. It was actually a very smooth, easy read and was very insightful. I reccommend this to anyone who is looking to start fresh with their credit.

Informative, but redundant.......2007-05-12

This Book will give you all the information you need to get the best credit score you can, and if you will follow the book's advice, most likely it will work.
However, the information given in the book could be found on any credit monitoring web-site for free with more accuracy to your situation.
It's nice to have the book at home, but not necessary. Take it only if you refuse to read the advice you get at the different credit report websites

Should be required reading before filling out your first application..........2007-02-12

It's become pretty common lately to hear news stories about your "credit score." But it's one of those things that is not well-understood, nor are the factors that feed into it. This book cuts through all the confusion with clear explanations and great advice... Your Credit Score: How to Fix, Improve, and Protect the 3-Digit Number that Shapes Your Financial Future (2nd Edition) by Liz Pulliam Weston. A little knowledge can save you a ton of money and grief...

Contents: Why Your Credit Score Matters; How Credit Scoring Works; VantageScore - A Revolution or Just More of the Same?; Improving Your Score - The Right Way; Credit Scoring Myths; Coping with a Credit Crisis; Rebuilding Your Score After a Credit Disaster; Identity Theft and Your Credit; Emergency! Fixing Your Credit Score Fast; Insurance and Your Credit Score; Keeping Your Score Healthy; Index

Like it or not, credit bureaus have a large influence on what you pay for loans (and increasingly, insurance). Weston starts by explaining how the whole credit rating concept evolved, as well as the significant players in the game. She also explains how that credit score is used by banks and lenders to predict the likelihood of getting paid back. The lower your score, the higher the probability of payment issues, and the higher the interest rate will be. The book becomes *really* valuable when you start understanding the many myths behind credit scoring. For instance, conventional wisdom says it's a good thing to close out credit card accounts you're not using any longer, thereby improving your credit score. In reality, that action will usually hurt your score instead. Or another example... It's a good idea to have your credit company lower your limit to improve your score. Wrong! Part of the calculation of credit scoring is the ratio of used to available credit amounts. If you lower your credit limit, that ratio goes up (provided you didn't pay down your balance), and your score goes down. It's practical information such as this that makes the book so valuable and worthwhile. Oh, and you wonder why your insurance rates are higher than your neighbors, all things appearing equal? More and more insurance companies are following the controversial practice of charging higher premiums to people with lower scores. Yet another reason to be on guard.

Ideally, you don't run up credit charges and you pay cash for everything. Practically, society is geared towards being able to categorize people based on their credit history. You can use this book to position yourself well for credit expectations without having to go against your principles if you don't want to become caught up in the credit craze. This book should be required reading before getting your first credit card or loan...
