Easy

I usually read science fiction, but wanted something else to read on my cruise. So I picked up Emma Gold's books "Easy" and "Hard." I loved them. They are the perfect books to read when you don't want anything to bother you and when you want to live in someone elses world.

Great light hearted read for the single 20 something women! While the main charicator is a bit shallow, her comfortableness with this fact is funny as well as her motivation to get what she wants out of life as long as she enjoys it.

Though she desperately wants a permanent man in her life to avoid the stigmatism of spinster, Moi has high standards. Her previous relationships can be categorized as failures, losers, or some combo much worse. None of these so-called chick magnets measured up to Moi's simple six rules though she admits some did attain a few of her criteria.Still, in spite a failure rate that would send most heterosexual females into shock therapy or abstinence the optimistic Moi keeps searching like some energized bunny. Is her latest date the one with the right dual head construction or another dud? Come ye faithful and enter Moi's bedroom so she can expose the feminine mystique to her sisters and bare the shortcomings of that pathetic other gender.This novel is easily an outrageous satirical chick lit tale that exposes the female strategic and battle plans in the devastating war of the sexes. The leave no male prisoner untested story line never turns serious so that readers will laugh a lot while saying Moi I am. Not for everyone as there is plenty of profanity; but what can one expect from a bedroom philosopher and legal giantess who insists size matters and a valid manslaughter defense by a woman should include death due to premature ejaculation. EASY takes the gold when it comes to ironic humor that masticates the genders.Harriet Klausner

I picked this one up on a run to Fiji, regain my sanity jaunt, expecting the usual saccarine heroine and life saving romance. Instead this book was so honest and uplifting and laugh out loud funny , an absolute joy!

I picked up my copy of 'Easy' in a discount bookstore in Edinburgh in October, and am now disappointed for other readers that it is out of print! Gold's decidedly autobiographical tale of her journey to find 'the one' is both incredibly hillarious and at times painfully tragic; there is drama-a-plenty in this woman's life to be certain! I laughed out loud until I had tears in my eyes on several ocassions. At the onset I felt the book might be entertaining but lack substance...I was wrong...although it does become repetitive at times. This is a story better left untold in terms of its lessons...better that you simply make the journey yourself with her. And if, like myself, you've learned these lessons already you will nonetheless be well entertained!
