Title: same old, same old
Product review: One of the most telling things about the quality of the plot and characterization in Affair was that I could not even remember the storyline the day after I finished it! It was so vanilla pudding and such a regurgitation of Quick's former plotlines that I was bitterly disappointed. I'm beginning to think Quick has lost her touch in coming up with original new storylines -- her last 3 books seem like repeat television shows. I'm a little tired of women who are only spunky and honest and men who are strong, silent and misunderstood. The same applies to her books written under the pseudonym Jayne Ann Krentz -- only a few are worthwhile. None of this stops me from reading Seduction, Scandal, Surrender and Reckless over and over. Stick to earlier Quick books -- they have better plotlines and more interesting characters.
