Who reads the stephanie plum novels?
I actually think Morelli is the sexier one!!! Either way, the girl cant lose lol!
Reply:Morelli has my vote!

He should just give up his idea of stephanie quitting her job it would end the series. Ranger just adds a totally new perspective of mystery and adventure to the Plum series (it wouldnt be the same without him) Joe just seems like the perfect choice.
Reply:I love the Plum novels, I think they are hilarious. I personally prefered it when Joe was Stephanie's boyfriend and Ranger was her mentor. Introducing Ranger as a secondary love interest needlesly complicated the whole thing for me. However, if she could go on teetering between both men indefinitely, it wouldn't matter so much.



The fact that Joe wants Stephanie to quite being a bounty hunter and settle down has dragged the series into the real world in a rather disconcerting way. In the series, nobody ages, and Stephanie is still about thirty, and her hamster never dies. If it was real life, given that several months usually elapses between each adventure, i assume she would now be about 36 or 37, and might be reaching a stage when she needs to think about whether she wants to settle down and have a family or whether she wants to just go on being a bounty hunter.



And if she does go on being a bounty hunter, what is going to happen to her eventually? She seems to live from hand to mouth, often only just managing to raise th emoney to pay her rent or whatever. What is going to happen to her when she gets old? Has she got any savings, has she got a pension scheme, has she got medical insurance? What will become of her?



I think that by having Morelli wanting Stephanie to quit we have a conflict between the fantasy world, in which a woman never grows old, can somehow survive as a bounty hunter even while being totally useless at things like self-defense, using a gun etc, and the real world in which she would be getting older, less fit (not that she's fit to start with!), and in which she has a boyfriend who wants a settled family life.



Occasionally I find the complete lack of competence on Stephanie's part starts to get on my nerves. I wonder how many more times is she going to forget her handcuffs, or let the villain slip out the back of the house while she is watching the front? She never improves as a bounty hunter, no wonder Joe worries about her, in the real world she would have been dead years ago.



But in Plumland these things do not matter. In Plumland nobody ever gets old, the good guys never die, men never get tired of waiting for a woman to make up her mind, and life can go on as it is indefinitely. I want Stephanie to go on living in Plumland indefinitely, but the real world is lurking out there on the edge somewhere.
