Good start, but a friend sent me the last one to read and it's an absolutely "by the numbers" copy of the previous books, and an excellent example of why series books need to be finite.


...and it's funny you mention bad eyesight, because light pink text on a white background is just about unreadable to me.
Stephanie's misadventures are exactly why I read the books. I just sit and laugh at the incomprehensibly bizarre situations in which she finds herself. Come on, she has learned a few things. The problem is she doesn't always apply this knowledge successfully. For me that's the fun part...to see just how far off-track things can get.
