Helpful Score: 2

Like many of the reviewers represented here, I have become frustrated by the sameness of this series, which in its early days was a genuine laugh-out-loud romp through Jersey and Stephanie Plum's enviable love life. I waited to read "Explosive Eighteen" until I got it from the library, and since I read it fully expecting to be disappointed, I have to say it's not as bad as these reviews make it sound. Yes, there are a lot of retreads of old jokes (at the most, this book made me smile, rather than laugh) and personal drama is still never truly resolved. But Stephanie has made some progress in her love life, and the book kept me interested and entertained for the duration of a 3 hour plane ride. Overall, you could do worse. No, that's not high praise, but for this type of book, it's good enough.
