Mine Are Spectacular!

Very funny book. I can't imagine that women with such shallow outlooks on life actually exist though. If they do exist, this gives a glimpse into a life that is quite different from anyone I know. Fun book to read: very lighthearted, impractical, and whimsical.

This book has it all...snippy teenagers, sniping ex-es, a hilarious scene with Billy Crystal at a ballgame and three women who are great friends. I loved,loved, loved it!

An easy and fun read. Lots of laughs, clever writing and highly recommended.

"I brought two books along on vacation, "The Kite Runner" and "Mine Are Spectacular!" Guiltily, I admit that I picked up "Mine Are Spectacular!" first and I couldn't put it down, I read it straight through. The authors get it, they understand that life doesn't end at forty, it's just beginning,and they make their point hilariously. I loved their first book, "The Botox Diaries," but this one is even better."

I'm not the target audience for a book like this; I'm a middle-aged man. (So arrest me.) But when women's fiction (okay, what's often called "chick lit") is done this well, I love it. (I enjoyed Bridget Jones, "The Devil Wears Prada," "Four Blondes.") But I remembered how much I enjoyed "The Botox Diaries," by these same authors, so I picked up this one, too -- and once again found myself laughing, nodding in recognition (the authors get so much about New York and its environs so very right), and looking forward to reading the next chapter. I tell myself it will help me to understand my wife better, but it's really beause a book this good, this funny, and this insightful (yes, it's that, too) is such a pleasure to come across. No matter what genre it falls into. A real pleasure from start to finish.
