Penny!! 8 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
An ok read, kept expecting it to get going and reveal a plot of some kind. But the real disappointment was the ending.... well... I thought my edition was missing a few pages! When I realised that was it, the book was thrown across the room! Great 'Penny' fan so am disappointed!

Seriously, Penny, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!

"Bright lights, cat fights"

"Breakfast just got bitchier"

2 good sub-titles that made me buy it, such a shame that they are totally unrelated to this book!

Barely a plot, horrendous puns (almost like writing the book was just an excuse to cobble together all the one's she'd ever heard) and what on earth was that ending all about?

The Daily Record said:
'Such wry, sassy fun she might want to give up her day job'

Don't! Really, just...DON'T

I took this on holiday to read and when I got to just Page 46 I wondered why I was bothering. However, I persevered , but it didn't get any better!! The characters had no depth to them at all, the constant use of puns was cringeworthy and the story went nowhere.
Also, I couldn't help thinking that if the main character drank as much alcohol as Penny said she did, she would have almost been in hospital having her stomach pumped!!! Maybe life's like that in the TV world - no wonder they need so much make-up!
More irritating than enjoyable - don't bother.

Entertaining!
As I read this book I could hear Penny Smith talking! Her sense of humour comes through so well and I felt as if she was talking to me. A really good read.

My opinion!!!
I'm not that keen on Penny Smith in general, i feel that she thought she was funny on GMTV but she wasnt. Read more

Awful!
I was sorely disappointed by this book. I find Penny Smith rather amusing and intelligent on TV and was expecting a witty, funny book but to no avail. Read more

Got it free & it was still too expensive......
I got this free with a magazine, and I thought "how bad can it be?". It was an expensive use of the 2 hours it took me to read. Read more

An excellent soap story
If you like a good soap story a la Coronation Street/Eastenders/Emmerdale you will enjoy this book. Each chapter is like a soap opera episode and if you bear that in mind this book... Read more

"Could do Better"
Half way through this book, don't know whether to finish it or not. Very boring so far and draging. Should have stuck to the day job Penny!
