Customer Reviews

Totally gross

Not chick-lit. The main character may have a purse fetish, but I bet Bridget Jones never defecated in her's.

Not for the easily offended

Forget my title comment... this book isn't for the offendable. It was strange, crude, disconnected and wonderful. If you have a taste for the quirky, read this book. I will never look at purses the same way again.

Another Crazyass novel by the wickedly funny Lucy Ellmann

Wow...Lucy Ellmann is not for everyone, and I actually thought Dot in the Universe is a better book, but I still heartily recommend Doctors and Nurses. That said, this book is not for everyone. Ellman's over the top style and in your face grossness may freak out the weak of heart, but if you like very dark, biting humor this books is for you!
