Колкото повече остарявам, толкова по-хард хумор харесвам.
Уви, разделих се с повечето си илюзии.
Та , Кати Лети е като наръчник за хард хумор.
Ако можех да се изразявам толкова добре, колкото нея, щях да кажа , че ме е преписала и е прочела повечето ми мисли.
Всеки път , докато чета нейните книги се смея с глас.
Уникални хрумки има тази щура жена.

"Щастливият брак бе каприз на природата,също като барабанист,който притежава някакъв коефициент на интелигентност,скромен американец или дебела манекенка."
"Жените губят повече време да мислят за онова,което мъжете мислят,отколкото мъжете отделят за мислене."
"Любов е най-жестоката дума с пет букви.Бракът причинява на любовта същото,което дълбоките бархетни гащи на секса."
"Приятелите ни показват какви сме много повече от партньора и семейството.Любовниците и съпрузите идват и си отиват,децата отлитат от семейното гнездо,ала приятелките с дребнавите си забележки,с дрязгите и недоволството са гръбнакът на живота." ...more

Review pasted from reading group on FB, as I wrote it to save anyone else from reading it!I just moved house and in packing and unpacking all my books, I found all the ones hiding at the back I hadn't read in ages. So thought I'd pick this one up and realised why I'd never reread it. Think I bought it from a remaindered stock place, and the only reason I kept on til the end was so I could slate it on here rather than having it kick around half read on my good reads list! A series of cliches, puns and crap one-liners strung together with stereotypical characters and no redeeming features. Half the book was made up of the sort of joke you used to get on funny postcards and now get on facebook pictures, but all about how annoying either housework or husbands are. You might smile at one or two, but an entire novel based around them? I hated every single person and their attitude towards everything. This is going straight on the charity shop pile so I don't make the mistake of picking it up again.

I was hoping for lots of humour and fun, this was neither funny or pleasurable.
I was keen to learn a few tips on how to kill your husband, this book taught me nothing 😂 😂 😂
Narrated by the wonderful Caroline Lee which made this book tolerable.

What a horrible book filled with horrible characters. All three main characters have husbands that are apparently the spawn of Satan, prompting me to wonder about the author's own love life and what drove her to hate men so much.The women themselves were awful as well. I get that Jazz was going through a hard time, but her self destructive behaviour was very hard to sit through for so many pages.
The ending - which did surprise me, I'll admit - proves how much she needs help. I also despise the decision that Cass made in the end, and hate the third woman's storyline (I can't even recall her name right now) as it was just so random and made it even more clear that the author wanted to show the many, many, many different ways that men can be awful human beings.
Including making one woman's 17 y/o son have an affair with his mother's best friend, and have that friend rub it in her face as she thought it was the most hilarious thing ever!
The author even made one of the main character's parent's marriages nearly fall apart because, once again, the husband was shitty. No wonder people are so cynical about love and marriage when books like this exist.
I normally donate books when I'm finished with them, but this is full of such an unhealthy way to view men and relationships that I will be recycling it instead. Rubbish.

Yet reading now it's as if she's trying to shoehorn every clichéd pun, dumb husband joke and horrible experience mums have into 300 pages and I'm cringing with each page. Tapping out halfway, which is unlike me.
Remembered loving this when it came out in 2006, along with Kathy Lette's other novels. Rediscovered during Victoria's 5th lockdown (Australia)- thought would read it again.Yet reading now it's as if she's trying to shoehorn every clichéd pun, dumb husband joke and horrible experience mums have into 300 pages and I'm cringing with each page.

Cassie's experience of a working mother will strike a cord with any other working mothers out there.
A quick and light read.
***THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS***
The narrartor Cassie is a delightfully funny woman, but the frustrating thing about her is that she has absolutely no back bone until the end of the book. So she would reply back to a comment with a brillant joke, but then corrects herself saying what she actually said.

I really wanted to like the book, it has some of the best witty one liners I have ever heard. But I just was disappointed with how the story panned out.***THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS***
The narrartor Cassie is a delightfully funny woman, but the frustrating thing about her is that she has absolutely no back bone until the end of the book. So she would reply back to a comment with a brillant joke, but then corrects herself saying what she actually said.
With her constant lack of backbone, it is not really surprising that her husband leaves her for a more sexually open woman. However, he does learn the error of his ways and comes back. To really enjoy the ending, you have to be a complete feminist rather than equaltist.
As in, you have to want women to be put above men, not treated equally as men (as I believe).
Since the husband comes back and completely changes himself for her, vows to clean everything in the house, be more attentive to the kids and please her first in the bedroom which is lovely of him to do, but Cassie does not have to compromise on anything she has done to drive their marriage to its grave.
I would have enjoyed the ending more if Cassie has been willing to work on something herself (it was mentioned in their therapy that she was not good at oral sex and didn't give it often... couldn't she have improved on that since Rory is willing to pick up his game on every other department in his life?!)
If this books was more realistic this book could have been great, but as it is it can pass as only ok.

This was one of our book club choices and one of the members called it "A vapid, vat of vomit!" lol.

Do not waste your money on this book, I paid £1.50 for it and that was too much.

She's funny off and on, yeah? I give her that, but I can't respect a book that painfully looks like a story was hastily slapped
Just WHAT in hell did I read? I don't get it. When my friend bought the book and was reading it out loud, it sounded so funny. But when I finally picked it up, it came across like one big, fat marathon of those douchey, hair-slicked-back, beefed up "dudes" on that show that teaches other normal men how to "score chicks" by using the worst puns and pick up lines possible.She's funny off and on, yeah? I give her that, but I can't respect a book that painfully looks like a story was hastily slapped on around a list of funny puns that the author made up one night when she had some stomach gas.

Kathy first achieved succés de scandale as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, now a major motion picture.
After several years as a singer with the Salami Sisters and a newspaper columnist in Sydney and New York (collected in the book "Hit and Ms") and as a television sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in Los Angeles, her novels, "Puberty Blues" (1979) "Girls Night Out" (1988), "The Llama Parlour" (1991), "Foetal Attraction" (1993), "Mad Cows" (1996),"Altar Ego" (1998) "Nip'N'Tuck" (2001), "Dead Sexy" (2003) and "How To Kill Your Husband (and other handy household hints)" (2006) became international best-sellers. Kathy Lette's plays include "Grommits", "Wet Dreams", "Perfect Mismatch" and "I'm So Happy For You I Really Am".
She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as writer in Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.
Kathy says that the best thing about being a writer is that you get to work in your jammies all day, drink heavily on the job and have affairs and call it research! (Although her husband says he should have the affair as it would give her a better book!)
