5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It, October 13, 2009

Jennifer S (Ball Ground, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tales for Delicious Girls (Paperback)

I LOVED "Tales for Delicious Girls" by Barbara Knobova. I plan on suggesting it as a book club read. The author does an amazing job creating this book. It is not a relationship advice book, well it kind of is, but the author relating her experiences with dating and relationships. We've all had bad dates, bad experiences and even ones that just make good stories. As you read through her novel, you will feel that you are sitting at a table, sipping coffee with your best friend sharing the weekend dating report. It was such a fun read. This book also makes the point that women must first be true to themselves. It is so easy to get down on ourselves after a bad dating experience. Knobova tells women not to change for a relationship, something many of us are guilty of. Thanks for the reminder Barbara! You make dating seem not so scary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for every woman., October 7, 2009

This review is from: Tales for Delicious Girls (Paperback)

"Tales for Delicious Girls" is a collection of short stories by Barbora Knobova. The stories are uplifting humorous tales of relationship woes. Like most women, she has experienced heart break and love loss. In this book she reminds women that they are their own best ally. Women should never allow themselves to be compromised to fit into the mold that someone else has designed for them.

I loved reading this book and have given it to my daughter to read. I have also recommended this one to all of my female family members. It is a must have for any woman's book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please take a number., October 6, 2009

By 

J. Cormier (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tales for Delicious Girls (Paperback)

Well, if you wanted to know the 5 "W's" in dating I would get his book written by Barbora Knobova. In "Tales for Delicious Girls" not only has she done it all she tells you all about it. Some of the stories are laughable, cry-able, and downright curable, but, it still doesn't keep you sworn off men completely.

Don't let Ms. Barbara Knobova scare you off because you can still believe that old comment your momma told you all through school ... "There's someone out there for you and you'll know it when you meet him". So she's had some oranges that turned into lemons. With each person she grew and was able to see that within herself and that is a positive thing.

I honestly believe that by writing this book, Ms. Knobova re-confirmed finding herself, and realized she wasn't so bad and it's not all her or him and for that "Bravo". It's a good book to pass along. There are lessons here to be learned and to realize that it's not always the women who try to change the man. Relationships are work good or bad and sometimes it takes longer for the bad ones to show their face or the good ones to be enjoyed. Either way both parties must remain true to themselves. Great book!
