I know some of you are out there shaking you heads already. I’m sorry I can’t help it. We, my Mother and sisters, have been sharing Janet Evanovich novels for a while. When a new comes out we take turns with them and have a nice time discussing them when we all get together over a lunch or something like that. Wicked Appetite is no exception. Diesel is up there for me with Morelli , and for some of my sisters Ranger.
I read some of the other reviews on the novel on both Goodreads and Amazon before my fingers started to pound the keyboard on this old warhorse of a computer I have. Most seemed to be on the side of ambivalent to thumbs down. Me though, I enjoyed it, and so has the rest of our little group. Janet Evanovich writes like she writes. I am comfortable in the fact that I am going to be able to sit in my chair and just chill to a goofy story, laugh at Carl the monkey flipping everyone the bird, something burning down, and a lot of romance and romantic tension throughout the novel.
Wicked Appetite was no surprise in content to me. The plotline was nice and comfortable and fit like one of my favorite bedroom slippers, so it made me happy. If you are looking for some deep, deep social commentary for a plotline, or a political thriller, then this is not your novel. Entertainment, laughs, chuckles and comfort are what is inside this novel, and it suited me just fine. Full length Diesel: now who can’t handle that on a regular basis, anyone?
