5.0 out of 5 stars She's ba-ack!, May 5, 2003

CoffeeGurl - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)

This review is from: Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be (Paperback)

Amy Thomas is back! This time she has taken it upon herself to obsess about her pregnancy. She goes through one misadventure after another as she realizes that her birth date's looming and she hasn't achieved the tasks at hand on her 63-item To Do List. To make matters worse, she's lost her job, owns a rather small apartment and her husband finds it difficult to deal with her neurotic manner. She begins to wonder whether having a child was a good idea after all...

This novel is hilarious! Amy's one of the most neurotic characters ever written. Just when I thought she couldn't be more insubordinate in Diary of a Mad Bride, her obsessive behavior reaches outrageous and laugh out loud proportions in the second novel. Laura Wolf is a great writer, not unlike Sophie Kinsella -- author of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Their writing styles are quite similar.

Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be is a great summer reading investment. Highly recommended...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny and quick read!, January 24, 2005

Allison I. Marcoz (Brandywine, DE USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be (Paperback)

Loved this book, read it in a day. It was funnier than Diary of a Mad Bride which I read when I was engaged. That one was really cute so I wanted to read this one now that I'm married and babies are on my mind. VERY enjoyable!! I laughed out loud a number of times as she goes through her 9/10 months of pregnancy. She keeps a list of "What no one tells you about pregnancy" that cracks me up as she stumbles upon these things the hard way! You'll love it, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great preggers-chick book, October 6, 2004

Elizabeth Farley (Louisville KY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be (Paperback)

this is a quick read and side-splittly funny! Laura Wolf captures all the ups and downs of being pregnant for the first time and having to discover all those little things that nobody tells you about before you get pregnant! if you're pregnant or if you best girlfriend is - get this book!!! It cheered me up and helped me laugh my way thru cravings, mood swings, peeing every 20 minutes, and dealing with the well-meaning family members. Also great - Diary of Mad Bride by Laura Wolf
