5 out of 5 stars Very funny, great writer   July 9, 2008

I am thoroughly enjoying this. I've laughed out loud on the subway more than I care to admit!
If she writes anything else, I will definitely read it.

I. Loved. This. Book. I could not put it down for 2 days. The chapter about the pear and chocolate tart was so funny I peed a little.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   July 6, 2008

I loved this book! It was so funny! She has a writing style very similar to Sarah Vowell. It is an easy read, and her stories are easy to relate to! If you like Sarah Vowell, you will LOVE this book!


1 out of 5 stars I was told this book was funny...   July 3, 2008

Someone lied. It took me 4 months to get through this book. I kept waiting for the sparkling wit and sardonic charm, I didn't laugh once while reading it. Not a giggle or chuckle not even a tiny, muffled cackle. Someone had the nerve to compare her to a modern day Dorothy Parker? That man should be slapped. Without mercy. Continuously. For eternity. That's just sacrilege. I want my money back and I want all those wasted hours back too! And Sloane, I know you're going to read this (what first time author doesn't read their reviews), it's nothing personal you're just not funny. At least I have my new David Sedaris to read, I can count on that to be clever and to make me laugh.


4 out of 5 stars Very entertaining- a great light read   June 29, 2008

This book was comical and engaging and kept me wanting to read more... until it was finished just a day after I received it! This is a great book to read when you want to zone out and let your mind relax. I found myself thinking about funny anecdotes from Crosley's stories weeks later, and laughing out loud at the memories of them.
