Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a big Stephanie Plum fan. But even I was truly bored by this latest book. It's sad when a best-selling author like Evanovich is just phoning it in--I'm at the point of wondering if she has assistants writing these. Formulaic is too kind a word to describe this book, which features the same old, same old and then some. Yes, we love the characters and laugh at the stuff they get themselves into. But Plum and company are now rendered so one note, and so repetitively so, that the fun is gone, gone, gone. I read a lot of book series. The best retain their sense of character but evolve. Plum and company are stuck. Even for summer/quick reading, this is super, super "lite" and not in a good way.
