Review:I thought this was going to be a funny "motherhood" book in the style similar to Jen Lancaster, but I didn't find it particularly funny at all. I found it to be a rather sad commentary on suburban America and how we are raising our children. I am sure the author meant to convey some of the ridiculousness that's out there, but this went over the top in such a way I could not suspend my disbelief and not imagine her just telling everyone to screw off and moving out of there. If my children were tr... Read more

Review:Twentysomething American Female reminisces about her hard-drinking first months living as an expat in Paris. Not really amusing or interesting. At least the French words are spelled correctly. Probably OK if you like that kind of thing. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.

Review:You really can't make this stuff up! I laughed out loud, not the cute, "lol", but the snorting and wheezing laughing that draws attention. This is great stuff and I hope to one day, be in a book just like it! Read it. You will enjoy it. Read more
Review:I loved it! Laughed so hard I cried. Rodney takes eveyday things, that happens to most of us, and turns them into something hilarious! I have to say his sense of humor is a little warped but it's been great getting a little glimpse of what's goning on in Rodney's mind. Can't wait for the next book! Read more
Review:I love funny reads and I yearn to punch people in the throat constantly throughout my day so this seemed like a great quick fix for my morning commute but I feel like I want to ask for 20 minutes of my life back. The story telling is great but the content was boring and I found myself skimming through the chapters to skip to the "funny" parts. Read more
Review:I found a few of the blog entries funny. Most of the rest just seemed to depict the cynicism and sadness the author appears to suffer from. And I'm not sure why so many authors feel the more vulgar words and descriptions they have the better. In my humble opinion, that is a poor substitute for quality writing. There are many ways to get a point across without having to use excessive amounts of poor language. I'm amazed by glowing reviews by people who profess to have a good command of the E... Read more
Review:I got the book because it was free and other reviews were good for it. It looked funny with a grumpy professor as the endearing main character. It started off good, but by the end I just wanted him to pay for all his consciousness and stupid mistakes. That would give me more satisfaction than having him walk out of the court yelling to all his students "drinks are on me!". I just couldn't take the rock star professor when I was all done. It was a short read though so I didn't have to take him to... Read more
Review:Not a good as her other books. This is her take on an etiquette books and really it's a bit lack luster (sorry Celia). Also she gets into politics a little more than I'd like and it's a bit off putting. I bought this book as a good read for after a surgery and 100 pages in I just couldn't go any further. Maybe it ends in a spectacular way, but I doubt it. That said... I think I am going to force myself to finish this not so good book. Read more
Review:I've been having fun going thru this book. The recipes I've tried thus far have been pretty easy. The only criticism I'd give it would be to be a little more descriptive on some of the cooking terms for the cooking illiterate, like myself. But it's accomplishing it's goal, which is to get me to try cooking more so that I'm no longer so cooking illiterate. (example: poached pears, the terms parboiling and poaching. I had an idea what these terms meant, but went to the all mighty google to confirm... Read more
