Rating: Summary: Easy escape light reading Review: Big, ugly and awfully streetwise, Eva Wylie turns over all characteristics commonly attributed to the female sex. From the very beginning the reader submits to her way of seeing and laughs about the flatness of all other characters around her. My favorite example: When Goldie is making up her eyes Eva's comment brought tears to my eyes so hard I had to laugh. Two thumbs up for the first STRONG literary heroine!!! Men around her become awfully ridiculous and short-sighted and women robots of female socialisation. Anna Lee was already an astounding character but Eva is really on top!The (female) world has been desperately waiting for Eva Wylie...Thank you so much, Liza Cody!!!
Rating: Summary: I Want To Read More About Eva Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Irresistable, Unforgettable Herione! Review: 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.

Rating: Summary: Easy escape light reading Review: This was a hard to put down book that takes you to a real world you only want to visit through reading. I would recommend this to anyone who wants time for light getting away from it all reading. Excellent
