1.0 out of 5 stars Like watching a bad comedian die on stage, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mad Cows (Hardcover)

Although this book seemed to hold promise of a light entertaining read, it soon disintegrates into a tiresome over-written waste of time. The characters in this book are 2 dimensional and cliche-ed, and after a while they all start to sound the same. The plot is improbable with a happy ending and the ubiquitous "where are they now?" prologue conveniently tacked on. But worst of all is the author's writing style. She tries far too hard to be endlessly ever-so-witty, an excruciating embarrassing attempt which falls flat on its face.

1.0 out of 5 stars if i could rate this less i would!, April 24, 2005

This review is from: Mad Cows (Paperback)

this is by far the worst book i have ever read! if you are looking for something light, entertaining or even slightly comedic then keep looking past this book. The plot is slow and seemingly never ending, extremely unrealistic. At most this book is depressing.

3.0 out of 5 stars BREASTFEEDING PROBLEMS LANDS YOU IN JAIL!!!!!!!, September 16, 2009

This review is from: Mad Cows (Paperback)

Most women know what its like to have just had a baby and it starts crying and your milk starts flowing and drenching the front of your top even though you have nursing pads on.

But Maddy is in Harrods so grabs some frozen peas and puts them inside her top to stop the aching breasts until she can go outside side and feed her son.

Alarm bell ring and everyone rushes outside of harrods. Maddys sits on the steps and starts to breastfeed. The security guard tells her to stop and that it is not the place for it. Well Maddy lets fly verbally at him she is only breastfeeding. The guard calls the police because he has seen the frozen peas under her clothing which she swears she forgot about and she ends up in the lockup with her baby.

The overall story is brilliant. It just needs the 50% of the crudity taken out. But if you like crude jokes this story is for you. (without the crudity i would have given it a 5 star)
