Product Description
Product Description
Maddy Wolfe's first day out with her newborn takes a Kafkaesque turn when she's arrested in Harrods for shoplifting. If this is a miscarriage of justice, then detaining her in Holloway Prison's Mother and Baby Unit is the D&C. The only person she can turn to is her hot-to-trot ex-lover Alex, who proves himself as useful as a solar-powered vibrator on a rainy day. When will he realise that a paternity suit is not the latest look in men's leisure wear? How do you brief a lawyer with a heat-seaking penis which doesn't report to mission control? And why the hell is Maddy's friend Gillian searching for a sperm happy to get egg all over its face? There's hard knocks and rude shocks in this devastatingly witty follow-up to Foetal Attraction. You'll split your episiotomy stitches laughing. 'Mad Cows should be renamed Wet Your Knickers With Laughter ...read it, love it and be prepared to change your undies! Company 'Lette's bitingly sarcastic prose ...breaks through taboos with a wit so daring that you'll gasp at her bravado before you laugh out loud' Elle

Format:Hardcover
This book is well written and yes the humour is definately there. However, the subject matter can only be described as DEPRESSING! A young girl stuffed by the system in a situation she has absolutely no control over, this is the stuff nightmares are made of. The list of perverts and wrongdoers is endless, I believe the author has probably put back any faith in the judicial system the police and prison service etc by about 20yrs. If you're feeling at all down and in need of cheering up this is not the book for you!

I found this book not only irritating but also extremely unrealistic.
If you like books where everything is negative, the storyline jumps from one unbelievable event to another and your "hero" talks intelligently but acts idiotic then go ahead and read it!
Otherwise - don't bother and save your money!

This book really made me laugh, although there were so many funny one liners it became the norm and I laughed less and less. I thinbk it pretty much sums up life in the 90's in London in a very amusing way.

Mad Cows Is Hilarious!
I first read Feotal Attraction and that got me hooked on Kathy Lette! This book has also met my expectations--very funny/sarcastic and holds lots of truths (plus many NON-truths)! Read more

The worst book I have ever read.
Trash fiction at its worst. I still cannot believe I bothered to finish it - that's several hours of my life I am not getting back. Read more

a hilarious believable over the top farce
I have never laughed so much at a book before. The heroine is so uncontrollably sarcastic that she ends up in extremem trouble. Read more

Thoroughly enjoyable!
This is a well-written and hilarious book. I would challenge anyone, male or female, not to enjoy it.

Readable but irritating
I loved the concept of this book as I did with Foetal Attraction, however the highly contrived one liners and puns are just too much to bear. Read more

Great fun - have a change of knickers handy.
This book should have a warning on it - I innocently picked it up in the bookshop (although having read her previous books I suppose I should have known better) and was wetting... Read more
