Customer Reviews

Great in every way

Witty, truthful, troublesome, entertaining - this book deserved its success. I love how we find out about the main character gradually, as her experiences unfold, so that it continually makes one question who this person really is. Kathy Lette is a tremendously talented writer with so much to say, and so hilariously, it's hard to believe one person came up with it all. I relived some of the best and worst parts of my life while reading this book and eventually I just had to laugh at myself, as I laughed with the characters! Suffice it to say Ms. Lette tells this young woman's story, faithfully showing life's light and dark sides, and carrying it all through to a truthful conclusion, without degenerating into moral platitude. And never, ever losing her brilliant sense of humor.

FABULOUSLY FUNNY

I think this has got to be the most hilarious book I have ever read. Reading this book made me laugh out loud, so much so that I think people thought I was mad!!! Living in such a class filled society you can really relate to this as, unfortunatly, in some cases it really does happen that if "daddy doesn't have a yacht and a horse running at Ascot you can't come to my polo party"!!! Kathy Lette is, in my opinion, the most talented writer I have ever had the pleasure to have read, her writing is a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to read her new book Alter Ego as I'm sure it will be as funny as this one.

Lette at her Very Best

Like Clive James, Kathy Lette is able to send up the very people that have embraced her i.e. the English. I bought this novel at the airport for a flight from Sydney to Perth and it made the four hour flight seem like 20 minutes. Lette is heavy on the pun but she is such a talented author that she can get away with it. A classy piece of writing from a very classy scribe.

Kathy Lette is the best thing to happen to recent literature

Kathy Lette demonstrates absolute mastery of the English language in both FOETAL ATTRACTION and MAD COWS. She illustrates, for us, the masochism of particular women and their ability to overcome the abuse they suffer at the hands of misleading men with blinding realism. Best of all she exposes the illusoriness of the priveledged left. It's too bad she's not a millionairess from the merits of her writing!

Laugh out loud funny!!

I read this while pregnant, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have visited both London and Australia and have many friends from both, and can relate to both! The language is a scream!
