Summary: A Disappointment
Review: Everyone told me how funny this book was but I didn't laugh once! I thought the main character was a bimbo who at her age, should have known better. It was hard to feel anything for her apart from pity at her being so thick!

All the references to Britain being cold, miserable and full of hard hearted toffs I thought were very narrow minded, and sounded suspiciously like Kathy Lette had done the typical visitor to Britain's trick of never leaving London!

It hasn't inspired me to read any more of her books, although if I come across one for 10p at a jumble sale back in the UK, I might buy it out of curiosity!

Summary: Laugh out loud funny!!
Review: I read this while pregnant, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have visited both London and Australia and have many friends from both, and can relate to both!

The language is a scream!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Fun!
Review: I really enjoy Lette's style of writing, as well as her ascerbic wit. It makes me laugh out loud. Her writing reminds me of a cross between Carrie Fisher and Nora Ephron with an Anglo/Aussie bent. An entertaining read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FABULOUSLY FUNNY
Review: I think this has got to be the most hilarious book I have ever read. Reading this book made me laugh out loud, so much so that I think people thought I was mad!!! Living in such a class filled society you can really relate to this as, unfortunatly, in some cases it really does happen that if "daddy doesn't have a yacht and a horse running at Ascot you can't come to my polo party"!!! Kathy Lette is, in my opinion, the most talented writer I have ever had the pleasure to have read, her writing is a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to read her new book Alter Ego as I'm sure it will be as funny as this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FABULOUSLY FUNNY
Review: Kathy Lette demonstrates absolute mastery of the English language in both FOETAL ATTRACTION and MAD COWS. She illustrates, for us, the masochism of particular women and their ability to overcome the abuse they suffer at the hands of misleading men with blinding realism. Best of all she exposes the illusoriness of the priveledged left. It's too bad she's not a millionairess from the merits of her writing!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Lette at her Very Best
Review: Like Clive James, Kathy Lette is able to send up the very people that have embraced her i.e. the English. I bought this novel at the airport for a flight from Sydney to Perth and it made the four hour flight seem like 20 minutes. Lette is heavy on the pun but she is such a talented author that she can get away with it. A classy piece of writing from a very classy scribe.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laugh a minute, love story of outcasts in the Nineties!
Review: One of the most humourous books ever read by this very talented Australian author. A tale of a modern love story, it's ups and downs and inside outs!! An out and out laugh at real love and real life

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 90's Love Story
Review: Very funny, definitely a true to form 90's love story. The ever trusting Australian girl and the upmarket married English gentleman. A laugh from cover to cover. Maddie's description of natural child-birth is a true to life, crude look at what realy happens before that "cuddly-little-baby" is born.
