This review is from: How to Kill Your Husband (and Other Hand (Hardcover)

This book is a hoot,especially if you have a dry warped sense of humour as I do-a must read.

This review is from: How to Kill Your Husband (Paperback)

I was unsure what to expect from this book, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't it. Humorous, intriguing and engrossing, anyone who has ever been a wife or mother will relate to the scenarios that arise as Lette explores the world of the modern working woman. I do think the author is a tad cynical and perhaps a little bitter, but the book is enjoyable nonetheless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable in parts, May 15, 2009

This review is from: How to Kill Your Husband (Perfect Paperback)

Kathy's writing can sparkle and shine and she is extremely clever and funny. However, I didn't enjoy the endlessly graphic sex and I think I am a little over the "I do everything and my husband does nothing" lament.

The story is basically about three friends - one (Jasmine) is married to an inhumanly humane doctor who rushes around the world helping people; one (the narrator Cassie) is married to a slob, gorgeous though he is; and one is married to a man who is happy to be the baby of the household. The book starts with Jas in jail for murdering her husband. The rest of the book is Cassie's recounting of how it happened that Jas got into that predicament.

It is a light read, and enjoyable in parts - but I think I need to Lette myself read some other things!
