Summary: I Want To Read More About Eva
Comment: Eva Wylie is a wrestler with ambitions of becoming a World Champion. She lives in a trailer as a security guard in a spare parts yard with two vicious guard dogs. She has very definite ideas about all aspects of life and if you don't agree with them, well, you can just sod off.

This was an extremely interesting book for a couple of reasons. The first is that the protagonist is not your usual likable character who wins us over despite a couple of flaws. She actually challenges us, time and again over decisions she's made and thoughts she's had. She's abrasive, rude and continually "narked", and for all of that you still feel yourself cheering for her. The second is her job, or jobs actually, a wrestler, a part-time security guard, a part-time courier for a shady character and a part-time bouncer. There's never a dull moment when Eva's around.

Bucket Nut is the first of only three books in the Eva Wylie series, a bittersweet fact. Only 3 books in the series will have me wishing there were more, but I'm pleased to have the other 2 books ahead of me. This is definitely one of those books that leave you wanting to read more.

Summary: For a mystery, maybe even an 8 or 9
Comment: Although this book didn't feel at all like a mystery, I was pleasantly surprised to see a mystery writer create a unique character with so much depth. I often times felt very sorry for Eva's lot in life, but then I would recall that Eva certainly didn't feel sorry for herself, and she would probably tell me off for being so sappy. I thoroughly enjoyed Eva's perspective of life and her way with words. It's been a while since I met such a colorful character.

As I stated, I have a problem with the "mystery" categorization. I was reminded more of "The Book of Ruth" and "Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man" than any mystery I've ever read. I was more caught up in Eva's affording to fix her teeth and winning her wrestling match than her fairly passive quest for her sister and her attempt to get herself out of her latest fix. I look forward to reading the next installment. I applaud Eva Cody's rich character.

Summary: Irresistable, Unforgettable Herione!
Comment: I wish there were more Eva Wylie books. This heroine views life from her own desperate background, and her viewpoints are endearing. Her vocabulary is entertaining, with the London slang. It is the character that makes the book, even more than the story. Read all three Eva Wylie books: Bucket Nut, Monkey Wrench, and Musclebound.
