Title: Just bad writing
Product review: I love the Stephanie Plum series but have noticed when Janet writes other books the characters mimic the Plum series, but not nearly as well. I am always disapointed. This isn't a matter of comparing. If the Metro Girl was a great story it wouldn't matter so much. I have also noticed the last two or three books in the Plum series are not as good as they were in the beginning. Maybe Janet has used up all her good ideas. Metro Girl was excruciating to read. I skimmed quite a bit of it hoping it would get better. To refer to oneself as "NASCAR Guy" repeatedly is so annoying and I do not know any guy that would do this. It is just not realistic dialouge and took away from the story. The characters were not compelling and the storyline was lacking as well. One bumbling crime solving-girl series is enough for this author. I hope she sticks to pumping up the Plum series before her other lackluster books tarnish her name.
