One of the funniest books I have ever read

This book is incredibly hilarious. I just don't want to ruin anything by giving up jokes or much plotline. Suffice to say that it's about a woman struggling to be a stand-up comic, while most of her life is much funnier than her routine (maybe Seinfeld if he was a woman in London and with a lot more sex). There is some light erotica in between, refreshing and humorous, without the euphemisms and emotional bla-bla you often see in traditional romance novels.

a great funny and sexy book

wow!i loved it-it was funny and sexy-u will wanna laugh and cry and some of the people in the book u may wanna slap and other times u will have to turn the air on cuz the love scenes are very sexy!i would rate it higher than a 5!

Wonderful book!

It only took me a couple of days to read this hilariously fast-paced novel. I loved it! There are just enough characters to go around, each with their own little charming characteristics. I bet that everyone can sympathize with at least one situation in this book. A great read; I highly recommend it. You'll never want to stop!

A pleasantly entertaining, humorous read

I evaluate books based on how much I enjoy them, so I don't know why I was so surprised that I found Spin Cycle so entertaining and funny. Populated with wacky but endearing characters, full of witty and wise excerpts from the heroine's stand-up routines and generally well-written, Spin Cycle is a delightful diversion.The book revolves around the career and romantic struggles of a divorced British single mom, Rachel Katz, trying to be a comic despite the reservations of her parents and fiance, chronicling the ups and downs and obstacles she encounters.While not exactly realistic - and not trying to be, I would guess - the supporting cast is delightful, from the pretentious artsy couple she cleans for to her Barbra Streisand obsessed son and the mysteriously sexy mechanic she meets, the people who surround Rachel are just about as interesting as the story. The one exception being her fiance, who is so dull and anal it's just impossible to believe she would ever consider marrying him. And the scenes taken from Rachel's stand-up are quite funny and believable - despite some necessary suspension of disbelief in other areas. Spin Cycle doesn't offer any deep insights into human nature or motivations. It's entertainment, pure and simple, and as such, it's really enjoyable. I found it funny, interesting, difficult to put down and all together a great way to spend a few hours. I would definitely suggest it to someone merely looking for some escape and distraction.

Funny, Sexy and a Rollicking Good Time!

This very funny book is the story of Rachel, a journalist-turned-standup comic who is engaged to an extremely uptight dentist, whose ex-husband left her for a male Estee Lauder rep, whose 10 year old son has a bizarre passion for Barbra Streisand, whose employers are rather eccentric members of London's glitterati, whose mother appears to be having a fling with a toy boy ... well, anyway, she has lots going on in her life. And then comes the washing machine repair man who adds an entirely new and rather steamy dimension to her life! This is a fun read with lots going on and tons of colourful characters to keep the reader entertained. I loved it.
