Rating:  Summary: A riot! Review: This book was hysterically, laugh-out-loud funny!
Rating:  Summary: I laughed out loud! Review: I finally broke down and read this book. Why didn't i do it sooner! I loved it! I laughed out loud at some of the scenes! No i am dying to read her latest book which is still in hardcover. Definetly a keeper! I really enjoyed this book. She has the humour of Susan Elizabeth Phillips...maybe even more so...lots of sizzle too! I will definetly read more of her work!
Rating:  Summary: Crazy for this book Review: 'Crazy for You' was the first Jennifer Crusie novel I've picked up. It won't be the last. I had a blast reading it from cover to cover, laughing out loud more than a couple of times because of the author's great insights into her characters.Quinn, a school teacher, has a very normal lifestyle, and that's what she hates about it, it's too normal. Life with her boyfriend Bill is going down the tube, especially when he refuses to let Quinn keep Katie, a mongrel that one of her students found. Quinn moves out with the help of her old friend Nick Ziegler, and that's when the sparks start to fly! A well rounded book with great supporting characters that add real texture to this remarkable book.
Rating:  Summary: Ms Crusie does it again! Review: I have been a fan of Ms Crusie since I read Getting Rid of Bradley a few years ago, but this book is by far the best one by her I have read to date. The characters were realistic, honest and very easy to relate to. Her wit and style are fresh. She tells it like it really is instead of glossing over things. You can see real people have the same trials and hardships as she portrays in her characters. Rarely do I laugh out loud while reading a book but Ms Crusie cause me to do so time and time again with all of her writings, and even though she has written several books the humor stays new. None of the repetive humor you see time and time again from some writers. I have nothing more to say but EXCELLENT JOB!
Rating:  Summary: Fun and Funny Review: I had lots of fun with this book. The small-town was a great setting and she handled it well. The villain Bill was fascinating. It was interesting to see a perfectly normal guy descend into stalking behavior. Looking forward to another book by this author.
Rating:  Summary: Refreshing Review: I'm a big fan of Jennifer Crusie since reading Tell Me Lies and Welcome to Temptation. But I must say that my favourite so far of hers is Crazy for You. She has combined an excellent blend of romantic emotion (I love it when the guy has been burning away with a unrequited love for a long time), humour and suspense. A very good contemporary novel if you're trying to get away from the run of the mill romance.
Rating:  Summary: The Book was Great, But . . . Review: I love Jennifer Crusie's style and substance, and "Crazy for You" has plenty of cute twists and turns. Everything from the bank tart to the show-stopper with Quinn's mother shows a flair for terrific plotting. Her talent for circular storytelling is terrific, and the malicious acts that are inflicted on Quinn are perfectly righted, and done so by the spunky heroine. However. I had a couple of problems. The hero, Nick, acts like a jerk. And because the dog was the catalyst for so much of what happened, the end could have been more satisfying had the dog participated in righting some of the wrongs done against her.
Rating:  Summary: Crazy for You Review: Well I certainly was not 'crazy' for this book.It had all the eliments to make it great, but somehow just kept missing.Truly a disappointment after Tell Me Lies, which was a 6 star book if there ever was one.I still gave 2 stars, because the characters were all filled out, and the story line was a fun one, it was just somehow, not quite together.Lets hope her next one is more like her first book.
Rating:  Summary: An entertaining read. Review: This book is laugh out loud funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly reccomend it. The characters are colorful and you don't know what they are going to do next.
Rating:  Summary: Delicious and witty Review: A fun romp into the lives of friends and lovers, wives and husbands, mothers and fathers. It's also the story of Quinn and Bill, stuck in a dead end relationship, and the little stray dog that comes between them and spurs her on to take risks and change her life for the better. A feel-good romance that will keep you burning the midnight oil.
