4.0 out of 5 stars a good laugh suitably sized for a suitcase, 6 Sep 2005
By Mr. Philip Duncan "philducont" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Little White Car (Paperback)
This is perfect for a bubblegum read in the sun - the laughable story line does nothing to detract from the enjoyment of this book.
There is an undercurrent of cynicism, could call it realism I guess, underpinning the characters, the chipped and bent motivations and behaviour are painfully familiar, even a 'happy' ending can't save this lot. For me this lifts the little white car above the usual drossy chick lit it's parodying.
It's undoubtably from the hand of Dan Rhodes - if you liked the other stuff you'll love this.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'The Little White Car', 17 Jul 2004
This review is from: The Little White Car (Paperback)
'The Little White Car' has had some very bad press, but I think it is unfair. I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy tale, set in France. A perfect holiday read that you can get through in an afternoon, preferably in the sunshine somewhere!
Rumour has it that the author, Danuta de Rhodes is really Dan Rhodes, previous author of some books that I have read but did not enjoy too much. If it really is the same person, then he/she has changed style for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob's your oncle!, 2 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little White Car (Paperback)
Well I think it's safe to say that this book was written by Dan Rhodes, and is the funniest book I have read in years. The completely implausible plot is spoofing all the naff chicklit that has terrorised us over the past few years, but at the same time is totally charming and warm. The characters are brilliant, especially enjoying Estelle who for some obscure reason is studying welsh poetry; the doctor who can dance, and Clement who almost has an episode with the dog bowl. It's only a short bookso I won't say any more about it - just read it (and if you haven't read Timoleon Vieta Come Home yet then buy that whilst you are on here), and don't take it too seriously!

One of the most pointless stories I've ever read.
I found it hard to get into as the story lacked any 'meatiness' that helps readers get deep into a story. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I found this to be a cross between 'Vernon God Little' and 'Catcher in the Rye' and sadly I'm a fan of neither. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars something for the summer
This slim, Nancy Mitford-esque volume is great for reading in the park (preferable Jardin de Luxembourg, of course) on a sunny afternoon. Read more
