4.0 out of 5 stars Good Summer Read, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Pants on Fire (Paperback)

Having been a fan of Alderson's column in The Age (Australian newspaper) for years, I was looking forward to reading this book. I read it over a couple of days on holiday and it's perfect when you want a "light" entertaining read. It is well written, with many funny scenes and is well worth reading, however I think Mad About The Boy is better. My favourite books by Alderson are Handbag Heaven and Shoe Money, which are compiled from her many fashion columns. May be hard to get in the US, but would be worth tracking down!

5.0 out of 5 stars a nice reading, December 15, 2004

This review is from: Pants on Fire (Paperback)

It's a fine, light and entertaining read. I'm still reading and I can't put it down .I like the humorous way that the author - an Australian writer- shows the incoherence of life.
It's about a journalist who lives and works in London and moves to Australia to work in a women's magazine to try to forget her broken heart. She mets a lot of people involved in a lot of confusion.Love, sex, drugs, work, richness and poorness are some of the things that this "girly" book embodies in an intelligent way.
As another reader said, is a class above most girly reads.
It's a good read, and it's worth tracking it down, since it 's not so easy to find it.

Ahh, chick lit at its finest.
After buying this book, I immediately went out and purchased all the books ever written by Maggie Alderson (she's a great newspaper columnest too).
