| Hilarious! | 2010-02-26 | 5 / 5 |
| | A friend of mine recommended Jen Lancaster to me so I ordered 2 of her books, Bright Lights, Big Ass and Bitter is the New Black. I have only read about half of Bright Lights, Big Ass and I cannot stop laughing! I love the emails/letters she includes after the chapters, too funny! I actually live in Chicago so it is fun to know exactly what she is talking about when she references street names and stores/restaurants. I am a forever fan of Jen Lancater now and cannot wait to read all of her books! Thank you to my friend for recommending this book!!!! |
| Not at all what the description paints it as | 2010-02-25 | 1 / 5 |
| Oh, my poor $9.99, flushed down the toilet! That's the worst use of ten bucks I've done in a long time!
The book's description, as well as the 1st or 2nd chapters (or whatever piece fit into the sample excerpt for Kindle) is false advertisement. It made me believe that the book would be an anti-fashionista manifesto of sorts, something repudiating upscale labels and praising cute, cheaper stuff from your average department store. And it did exactly that - for a few paragraphs. Then the author decided that it would be just fine to ramble about the most mundane aspects of her boring life, go into detail about several silly arguments she'd had with her husband, babble on and on about the most random, uninteresting subjects under the sky... all the while bitching and whining and dripping sarcasm about everything and everyone, making me VERY thankful I don't have anyone that unpleasant in my life. I tried reading several more chapters hoping to somehow enjoy them - I swear I did! - but man, it was painful.
Jen, honey, you are confusing articulate bitterness with wit, the readiness to snigger at everything with superiority. That would be pitying if it weren't terribly annoying. No, bitter is NOT the new black - but maybe it makes the sad, bitter people out there feel a bit better about themselves. It's a shame, because you do have a way with words - too bad you are wasting your talent.

| | Once again Jennifer wrote a hilarious book. I read her book "Such a Pretty Fat." I fell in love with her writing. Her smart ass commentary about her life had me laughing out loud. You will love this book. |
| 2 words: Jen, Lancaster. | 2010-02-08 | 5 / 5 |
| Jen Lancaster is my new favorite read. I buy more everyday to hand out to friends and family - they will get a kick out of her snappy comments and the always perfectly delivered Fbomb while doning something cute, stylish, and likely pink.
Truthly, it's a riot. I laugh until I cry and get so giggley I can't get to bed. Want More! Can't wait for more! Go Jen!
was the only way I could purcahse the entire set at one time. And I promise, you will want them all. I promise if you get to the end of one, you will be a junky looking for your next Jen fix, so stock up! |
| I liked it even more than Bitter! | 2010-02-03 | 5 / 5 |
| | I loved Bitter is the New Black, so I was a little skeptical with this book - as I am with sequels to movies that I love. Once I figured out that unlike Bitter, this book is divided into separate little stories, I really enjoyed it - dare I say, even more than Bitter. I found myself smirking and laughing out loud more than on a few occasions. I get a real kick out of Jen Lancaster's writing..... she puts in her writing the same things that go through my head, and I love that! While I don't always agree with her opinions (Ann Coulter???), I love her writing style and how she can turn any situation into a hilarious story! I especially enjoy the footnotes. I just bought Such a Pretty Fat and can't wait to tear into that one now! |
