Insightful and hilarious!

At once a biting portrayal of the absurdities of modern life and a sweet tale of discovering -- or rediscovering -- love.  There were moments when I wanted to laugh out loud, and I certainly won't ever think of asparagus in the same way again!  The characters are so well crafted -- deeply human.  You can't help but root for them, and be happy for them when they ultimately figure out what life is really all about.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was absolutely hilarious but, as a single woman, it solidified the fact that dating is not easy... On- line or off!
Dalia told the stories in such a way that although I know how frustrating each encounter must have been, she was able to find humor and be able to keep it moving.
She also made it clear that these are "her experiences" and did not try to dissuade others from trying on-line dating.
It think it was candid, humorous, and well written! I wonder if there'll be a sequel!

This book is fabulous! I laughed out loud several times and found myself thinking about the anecdotes and insights long after I put the book down.  McCarthy is self-effacing, reflective, and thoughtful. I want to have coffee with her and talk more about this book!

Lilibet has a very fresh voice combined with a humorous approach. Her reflections on the Box Girl job are interspersed with amusing stories and observations about her life, family and the world in general. Youll laugh out loud at some of the vivid descriptions of her Southern background intersecting with living in Connecticut and LA. She is insightful while being funny. A worthwhile read!

As my first foray into chick-lit, I wondered (fearfully) what to expect -- and got a heck of a lot more than I bargained for! Weeks later, I still laugh out loud at the images the author conjured up. With her effortless writing style, she managed to have me simultaneously laughing out loud and thinking "Oh, this is so true."
This book was much more than a non-stop laugh-riot (which it is!) -- it's a story that every person can identify with on many levels. I will read "The Wife of Reilly" again and again, and certainly find something new, funny, and insightful with each reading.

I've never laughed so much (or groaned) ;-) while reading about some of the most important things in life!  Rhonda Rhea's practical and witty approach to applying biblical Truth to our every day lives was SPOT ON and I saw some real changes take place in my perspective and thus my life as I read it. She never stops pointing to Jesus in her humble and hilarious way! GREAT READ! I highly recommend it!

I couldn't put this book down because I wanted to know what the author's next hilarious adventure would be.  Guidry's witt, insight and honesty make this book  funny, but also poignant and thought provoking.  Very entertaining.

I loved this book!  It made me laugh out loud and shares key information about all areas of comedy
from someone who really knows the business. DB Gilles includes everything from current examples
of TV spec scripts, to blogs, websites, and clips to check out. It also inspired me to attempt other areas
of comedy writing I hadn't considered before.  "You're Funny", along with DB's "The Screenwriter Within",
will be the books on my shelf I reach for when I am looking for motivation, inspiration, or honest and
practical how-to advice!

I would recommend this book to anyone- aged young or old. Everyone can relate to this book at some point in their life. I was not looking to win or lose a guy in 10 tens; I was just looking for a book to cheer me up and make me laugh! I could definitely relate to some of the author's experiences with dating. I also really enjoyed the psychology aspect of the human mind and our actions. This book was very insightful and enlightening! I finished it in a couple of hours; never putting it done for a break. I would highly recommend this book to a lot of individuals that are looking for a quick read and laughter! I would also recommend it to those not only in relationships, but for those who are looking for one. I REALLY HOPE SHE COMES OUT WITH A SEQUAL!!! Just is an awesome writer!

Read the book because it is insightful regarding relationships from the male perspective,because it gives a glimpse into the mind of a fanatic collector(music or other), or  because it's doggone entertaining. But read the damn book. The protagonist decides to examine his life after, as is often the case, a painful episode in his life. Normally this type of book is a turn off to most men, but this book is so funny, and so dead on accurate that you don't mind taking the trip through Rob's(the protagonist) psyche.
 The humor comes in many forms. Rob's co-workers provide some hefty laughs with their top 5 lists, sarcasm and realistic portrayal of music geeks. Rob himself supplies many laffs with his self effacement and irony. And the turns the story takes itself are sometimes hilarious, sometimes just strange.( Wait til you find out what happens at the funeral of Rob's ex's father)
 The poignancy and depth of the book sneaks up on ya. One minute your chuckling over Rob's frustration with fans of Phil Collins, the next your sharing in a truthful,sometimes almost brutally so, insight into his mind.
 I guess what I'm trying to say is that any book that can take a self -obsessed guy's ruminating on music,relationships and life in general, and keep me interested because of the humor and truthfulness of the inner and outer dialogues, is a damn fine book. Try it. It makes soul searching fun!!!

I found this book incredibly insightful. The author is a journalist so it's well researched. It also includes societal trends from child rearing experts and anecdotes from families, including the author's own experience raising three daughters. The result is a pragmatic and fresh perspective on how to navigate the ever-evolving world of raising kids in today's times. The author shares funny and serious moments with her own girls, backed by research. I recommend reading this book and sharing it with friends as we all navigate our "villages" and stages of rearing and working with kids with the ultimate goal of future balanced and capable adults!

Although this book deals with serious subject matters, the author is amazingly able to make deal with these matters in a very funny way.  This book is hilarious, while not making light of the serious subjects, and not becoming preachy....Funny, relevant, and BRILLIANT!

Annabel Monaghan's essays are not only hilarious, but each one hits the nail on the head with its insight and empathy. A perfect book to dip into anytime, perhaps while crying into your midlife crisis. Her writing sort of shakes you out of your fog by making you laugh, gives you a dose of reality, and then finally gives you a hug. A must read for busy parents everywhere!
