4.0 out of 5 stars Reading a real-life soap opera, 9 Aug 1999
By A Customer
As I live in Los Angeles and am around characters that are EXACTLY like this, I found the book to be remarkably accurate. This book is definitely "entertaining," and I couldn't put it down. However, this is NOT a book to increase your brain cells, but if you want to laugh and read as though you are watching a soap opera, pick it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lisa Kudrow is Dandy!, 22 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Misadventures in the 213 (Paperback)
I've read all 6 volumes of Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin and recommend them to anyone who enjoyed Misadventures in the 213. Dennis Hensley has clearly read his Maupin and has fashioned '213' in a similar style. I couldn't put this book down (like all 6 volumes of Tales) but I have to admit I started feeling like a Valley Girl the more I read it. If Hollywood comes around for the film rights I have 4 words: Lisa Kudrow is Dandy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The laugh out loud funniest book I've read in a long time., 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Misadventures in the 213 (Paperback)
You don't want this book to end. I alternately couldn't believe what they got themselves into and then I'd want their lives! Great book about contemporary life, love and friendship. I was sad when it was over. Hopefully, a sequel is in the works.
