Product Description

Is Jane Taylor like you and me? Hopefully not! She's a slightly sociopathic Londoner who wants marriage and a baby in the worst way - just like everyone else, she thinks - but in Jane's case she's willing to go to over-the-top lengths to achieve her dream. When Jane thinks she's pregnant, she tells everyone. When it turns out to be false alarm, she assumes she'll just get pregnant, no one the wiser. But when that doesn't happen, well, of course she does what no one in her right mind would do: Jane decides to fake an entire pregancy! Join crazy Jane Taylor for her madcap ride in the debut novel Kirkus gave a starred review to and Publishers Weekly called "hilarious and original."

A surprisingly good read 20 May 2003

By RML

Format:Hardcover

I'm not usually a fan of what could be called 'Chick-Lit' or 'Brit-com', just so that's clear. However, I was given an advance copy of The Thin Pink Line to read on a long flight and was very pleasantly surprised. First of all, the dialouge (one of my first criteria) is crisp, well written and sounds real in the mind's ear. Next, there are moments that are laugh-out-loud funny. The novel is very well paced and moves right along. The only criticism I may have, and this is purely from a personal point of view and has nothing to do with the writing, is that I found it very hard to sympathise in any meaningful way with Jane, the protagonist. However, if someone like me who doesn't read much along the lines of this sort of thing enjoyed it very much, I'm sure people who do will find that The Thin Pink Line stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Fun and witty! 21 July 2004

By "mvaznunes"

Format:Hardcover

The Thin Pink Line made me laugh and smile a lot, and at one point it even brought tears to my eyes. Although Jane is terribly self-centered and, therefore, not exactly a likeable person, I could not dislike her. Why? I think because of her great determination. Once Jane had set her mind on pretending to be pregnant, she went on with it, even though she knew there would not and could not be a baby at the end of her ninth month to show for. Right up to the end, Lauren Baratz-Logsted keeps you guessing about the outcome. And when it comes? I can only tell you what happened to me. I heaved a deep sigh and, with a big smile on my face I continued to stare at the last line for a while, before I was able to close the book. A fun and witty story. Read it!

Needed more research 24 Jan 2012

By Shell

Format:Hardcover

I enjoyed the basic concept of the book but at times did find myself skipping paragraphs due to the fact that at times there was a fair bit of waffle. Also the fact that the writer really didn't do any research at all.You could certainly tell that the writer was American.

Witty, engaging

Sparkling fun, clever, and too perceptive about the heart of a single woman to be viewed as a typical romance. I've been recommending it to everyone. Read more
