Nelson’s weekly book review

The book I have chosen to review is Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich.  For anybody looking for just a nice light funny book for the day this is a great choice.  This is the eighteenth in the series, as you can tell by the title, and I have not grown bored with them yet.  The truth is I eagerly await each one.  This one had me laughing out loud a number of times and just looking forward to sitting down to read.  Evanovich’s books appeal to a wide range of people, from 20 to 90-year-olds.  This book is good to read for those days when you don’t want to think too much but you still want to read.  It is not for a serious time or to get a lot of meaning and deep thoughts, just pure entertainment.  Stephanie Plum is the main character, and as always wacky events keep happening to her and you wonder what will happen next.  You are seldom disappointed, as Evanovich seems to have endless imagination for weird and out there situations.  You can start this series at the beginning and keep up with the characters or start at any number you find in the store.  I hope if you try them you will enjoy them as much as I do.
