4.0 out of 5 stars A note from Maureen Farquhar, March 10, 2000

This review is from: Confessions of a Pretty Lady (Paperback)

'Confessions of a Pretty lady' consisted more of observations than of confessions, but the wit of Bernhards writing made this a pleasureable book to read. Like a emotional journey through Bernhard's personal life I felt a divine sense of identification with her (which is stange as we are worlds apart - she a sexually ambiguous jewish comidienne - me a Huyton socialite). My only problem with the book was its minimal length, the book con be easily read in one evening, but dont let this stop you as 'Confessions' is one of those books that you can read again and again. Dont be put of by Bernhards often uncomprimising image, this book will be rewarding to all who have chance to read it. ciao,

This little gem of a book by Sandra Bernhard is a great read. I've read it 3-4 times now over the past 10 years or so and always glean some new kernel of wisdom or funny anecdote that I must've overlooked before. She's an entertaining writer and her stream-of-consciousness writing style is almost conversational and makes for a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is she being serious, or is it all an act?, January 21, 1999

Don't get me wrong, but it just seemed as though the book was based on past (not healthy) relationships. This is not to put down a single person in this book. My problem was that when I first read the book, I had put myself in a serious mode, and I should've read it in a less serious tone. The book was fabulas the second time around. Way to go Sandra! By the way..what are you really like? I know you aren't as defensive as you want everyone to think. You are amazing -- and I know that!
