Review title: stephanie never seems to learn from her mistakes
Product review: I've read all eight Stephanie Plum novels (in order), so clearly I got hooked early on. They are funny, clever, quick reading. Janet Evanovich has a gift for writing quirky (if annoying) characters and laugh-out-loud dialogue. However, Stephanie makes the same lame mistakes from one book to another, and usually within the same book. It is frustrating to see ineptitude over and over again, and I began to wonder what the men in her life see in her. Someone once said that what a man really wants in a woman is competence, which Stephanie seems stubbornly determined not to acquire.I may have spoiled the fun for myself somewhat by reading Joshua Armstrong's excellent "The Seekers," about his true exploits as a tough yet compassionate bounty hunter in New Jersey. Nah--I'm just tired of seeing the same old dumb behavior, with no learning curve in sight. It's been fun, but I want Stephanie to gracefully retire.
