I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  I thought the book was fun and witty.  It was a great read. The author did a great job describing the characters and the story moved along quickly.  I would highly recommend as a fun page turning summer read.

It was a charming and amusing book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about each character and the outcome. I've suggested it to five people who I know will feel the same as I do.

While working yesterday, I noticed a lady's mustache and had to giggle a little.  I wanted to suggest the book to her as I noticed she probably shaved hers.  The book was insightful, but also hilarious at the same time.

It was good. I loved the journal entries. I thought the nicknames were funny. I enjoyed myself so much that I read the book in an evening!

If you are looking for a fun read, peppered with the sarcasm and wit of an 8th grader, give The Life and Opinions of Amy Finawitz a try.

Amy starts the book being quite self-centered. Everything is all about her. The story is told in the form of emails Amy sends to her friend who has moved away, abandoning Amy in NYC with no friends or social life. I enjoyed Amys snarky comments and humor as she communicates the woes of her life to her friend. Through the course of the 4 months this book covers we watch Amy transform, grow and change for the better.

Aimed at girls ages 11-14 this book had me laughing out loud many times while reading it. The all email format worked for this story. Teaming up a geeky girl, an old lady and a religious zealot to create a dream team for a research project made for a fun adventure.

I did like it. It is very funny and I enjoyed reading it. People like Ellen are so witty and intelligent and make everybody feel good about themselves, so I recommend this book : "Seriously...I'm Kidding".

It was a fun read not trying to think too much but witty.  I especially like the area it took place because I grew up in the area and could relate to the surroundings.

I'm always interested when an author tries something different with a book, and writing from the satirical standpoint of abridging an "existing novel" was an enjoyable twist on storytelling I'd only seen done a handful of times before (Steven Brust as an example).

The book is witty, snappy, and quite enjoyable. The annotations with commentary from the author subtract nothing from the story, and only add to the feel of it. I also enjoyed the mock chapter at the end for the "sequel." As someone who saw the film first, then sought out the book, it was an interesting addition to the characters I thought I knew.

An enjoyable read, definitely recommended!

I really enjoyed Quotable and read it cover to cover in one sitting.  It was witty, thought-provoking, relatable and funny at points.  This book appeals to readers of all ages - my 66-year-old friend and a co-worker's 13-year-old daughter both enjoyed the read.  I look forward to future work by this author.  Well done!

I thought this was a clever book. I liked all the characters, and the way it all worked. While I was reading this, it kind of played like a show in my head. Kind of like Supernatural. It was witty and fun. I am definitely looking forward to a third book, if there will be one. I don't know. I hope so.

This was a delightful read.  The prose was witty, and the characters were interesting, quirky, and likeable.  At first, I had a hard time buying into how a sensible, career-minded, over 30-year-old woman could fall head-over-heals in crush with a seemingly narcissistic musician, but it didn't take me long to accept it.  And once I accepted it, the story became engaging.  I liked the author's literary allusions and her sense of humor. There might have been one or two too many coincidences in the plot for me, but they all combined seamlessly for a happily-ever-after ending.

I tend to like romantic comedies in movies, but I find that in novels they generally don't work. They end up seeming silly or stupid. This book was the exception. What a great addition to the genre.

I enjoyed the characters and the plot line.  The writing was witty and kept my attention.  As with her other books there were times I was laughing out loud.

I loved this book. I read it cover to cover in 2 days. Hilarious and witty. I would love to see this book as a movie.

Fun.  Witty.  And lots of laugh out loud moments.

When Delia Moss discovers her boyfriend of ten years has been cheating on her it sets her in motion to make big changes in her life.  She is leaving Paul and Newcastle and moving to London to stay with her friend Emma until she can decide what she will do with her life.

While in London, Delia finds a job and its not quite as she expected.  She gets caught in the middle of a battle between her boss and a competing businessman.  She finds herself involved in some unusual situations (that are often laughable after the fact) and she makes some new friends. She also starts working on her cartoon again, The Fabulous Miss Fox, which has been stored away and not thought about in years.  Will Delia find a new life and love in London or will she go back to Newcastle with her tail between her legs as Paul wants her to?

The length of the book almost turned me off, but once I got into it, it was hard to stop reading.  I felt drawn into Delias life and everyone around her and just had to know the outcome.  This book is a fun adventure and well worth taking the time to read it.
