God, apparently as a prank, devised two sexes and called them 'opposite'. For 5000 years, the sex war has raged, with still no truce in sight. While birds and insects all pair off happily, breeding away without the aid of Internet dating sites and GSOH's - the male and female of the human species are constantly at war. We're supposed to be the higher animal life form, but you don't see squid going on radio dating quiz programmes to get laid, now do you? A local London radio station runs a 'Desperate and Dateless' competition. A computer has matched - physically and emotionally, psychologically and intellectually - what they predict to be the perfect pair. Kit: diamond-studded ears, American, with friends in low places, believes women are little more than a life support system to an ovary. And then Shelly: pin-stripe-underpanted, cultured, classical guitarist, thinks optimism is an eye disease, hates all men. They meet the day they are to be married...

THE TIMES Deliciously rude.
Jackie Collins Funny, irreverent, smart. A hot writer with a wickedly hilarious pen.
Salman Rushdie It cheered me up.
Carl Hiaasen The funniest thing to come out of Australia since the platypus, only much sexier!
Kylie Minogue I don't recall reading the book so much as devouring it. I was fascinated. The honesty of the story makes it hysterical and terrifying at the same time.
Jilly Cooper Adored it. Utterly outrageous, irreverent, and screamingly funny. I squirmed and cried and laughed.
British Cosmopolitan Laugh? I was nearly hospitalized...Living proof that women's humor can be just as outrageous, rough, and raunchy as the male variety.
British Elle Lette's bitingly sarcastic prose breaks through taboos with a wit so daring you'll gasp at her bravado before you laugh out loud. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Awful.,

This review is from: Dead Sexy: A Novel (Hardcover)
I didn't think it was possible for a book filled with such clichés and ridiculous plot lines to actually be published. The over-verbalization of every sentence is painful to read and distracting from the story itself. Example: "Lust jitterbugged in her gusset". Seriously, what? When I first picked it up, I thought it had actually potential. Admittedly it had a few laugh out loud lines but generally that was ruined by the unrealistic interaction between the characters and the storyline that even the writers from Passions would scoff at. The ending itself caused me to throw the book across the room in utter astonishment that someone had taken the time to edit, publish and market. This is possibly the worst book I have ever read.

Worth less than one star,

This review is from: Dead Sexy: A Novel (Paperback)
I picked up this book after searching for hours at the bookstore. I wanted something light and fun to read after oral surgery. Plus it was on the Bargain Table (now I know why). Reading the back of this book, I thought it might fit the bill. Needless to say, I'd rather sit through more mouth surgery than read this drivel. Awful! The book reads like it was written by a 12 year old. I was so bored and disgusted that I put this book down after just a few pages and stred out a window for awhile (that was more entertaining than the book!) Run from this book!

Just finished reading "Dead Sexy" and then checked the reviews. I was surprised. All right, it was a little wordy in a silly way; but it did have interesting twists. It was funny, and clever.
