5.0 out of 5 stars the most enjoyable book of English poetry ever written, June 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (Paperback)

There once was a poet named Wendy,
Who I desperately wish would befriend me.
For her out-of-print rhymes
I would give my last dimes,
But Amazon thinks they're not trendy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, May 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (Paperback)
The fantastic Wendy Cope, with her glib wit and casual satire, has written a beautiful book -- funny, tender, and sarcastic, she turns the literary status quo (two hundred-odd years of pontificating males) on its head and leaves it hanging. She's just far too clever for the boys and we love it. Just buy it. Laugh out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars tump, October 4, 2001

This review is from: Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (Paperback)
I will be forever thankful for the day I picked up this book just for a look ,I read one poem then took it straight to the desk to buy. The next day I went back and bought Serious Concerns another collection of poems by Wendy Cope.
There just so damn good. Some are funny. Some are sad. Some are this .Some are that. Some are the other. Everyone I ever lent these books to loved them and then went out and bought their own copies. I cant lend you my copies (lost them moving to NewZealand) but I can recommend that you buy them now.
