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

2.0 out of 5 stars well written but depressing, 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mad Cows (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!

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst book I have ever read., 10 Aug 2001
By A Customer
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. Seldom could there have been written a more shallow, unrealistic, man-hating book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost like a bad B-Movie, only worse, 10 May 2000
By T. Kus (Gloucester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
