an unexpected pleasure

I first picked up this book because it had an interesting title. On a pure whim I read it and enjoyed it more than I have any book in years. It was refreshingly funny yet it has substance that kept me interested. I couldn't put it down. I have told everyone I know that enjoys reading to get this book. It is sharp,funny and a sure cult classic.

I got this book fro the holidays from my girlfriend. It's a book that I think would appeal to men and women, especially those with an urban humor.I hope it is going to be made into a movie. The book would translate well. Reading the novel is especially rewarding too. You get the sense Laurie Gwen Shapiro is a great wit to watch
Not for everyone, but I loved it

Only if you want to laugh for a week. Don't give this to your grandmother, save it for yourself if you're the type that liked Spinal Tap. Raunchy and very very droll.
Edgy, funny, worth the bucks

I'd read a intelligent, sassy interview with this new author before purchasing the book. My hunch was rewarded. This novel is fresh and furiously funny. Shapiro's characters are acerbic yet endearing and never cartoonish. Edgy. Something different.
