5.0 out of 5 stars so funny it hurts!, 7 May 2004
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Last fall, I stepped into a hole in the back yard and twisted my knee. At the time, that was so painful, I did not notice I cracked open the sternum of my ribcage. I woke in great pain during the night and had to be rushed to hospital. The immediately solution was stuff me into a corset to where I could not breath - crushing my ribcage. Surprisingly, you get "sort of" used it as the weeks pass, but you really are amazed at the women that lived their whole lives in that fashion. It's small wonder they swooned!

So, recalling how bad it hurt to laugh with a corset, I am eternally grateful that Katie Macalister waited until I was out of the bloody thing to release the Corset Diaries. Had I read this while trussed up like a turkey, I would have been in serious trouble! I would so hate to have my demise on Ms. Macalister conscience! And I fear that would have been the result. This book is just such a howl.

Katie's is a brand of humour that makes one feel good. It's a special gift. Her books won't change the world, solve the rain forest problem or go down into the history of literature, but they are sheer fun. And this one is another special gem from a very talented writer.

It's a funny, witty, sexy, Benny Hill - Monty Python bawdy romp. Some people don't get Brit humour, so they miss all the fun. Sorry for them. The rest of us shall delight in this tale of Tessa, a less than stunningly perfect, 39-year-old who takes on the chore of acting the role of Duchess for a week, corset and all. Frankly, I felt for Tessa when her heart goes pitter-patter over her leading man Max - her "Duke". Rapid breaths in steel stays is just dangerous! Its wickedly sly dialogue charms us as "Duchess" Tessa adjusts to life as it was over a century ago. Stocked full of charming characters, it's a delight from start to finish.

Katie's brings her special touch to this amusing story. Still, I am so glad I read it now, instead of four months ago when my brush with a corset left deep impression on me - figuratively and literally!!

Keep spinning the magic, and we shall keep laughing!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'I have to wear what????', 29 April 2004
By A Customer
Tessa who admits to being "skinny-challenged" is a last min replacement ona reality TV show titled 'A month in the life of a victorian duke' andthus has to wear a corset as per the title. Max the guy playing the partof the duke is as hansome as they come but Tessa does not get off to agood start with hilarious results.
Tessa is a fantastic heroine, veryreal and believable, she's in her late 30's and plump but you don't havethe usual turning into a swan thing writers often do, she is herself andloveable and humorous and determined to get her man.
The book is thebest Katie Macalister book so far.
It is also very very very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just FAB, 11 Mar 2005
This was my first macalister read, and it would normally not be my pic (I'm a historical girl at heart) but the blurb sounded interesting and it was recomended so I purchased it. Wow! what a good choice. It is funny, very well written and with sexy romantic bits as well. You just want to eat the men in her book for breakfast lunch and tea.
Its also great to have a lead female charater who is not slim and perfect, some of her body observations will have you chuckling particularly if you are a bit 'skinny challenged' too.
Top marks, great book.

As a plus sized woman myself I have sometimes been frustrated with the "paper thin" and serious heroines in other romance novels. Read more
