1.0 out of 5 stars So dull I couldn't finish it..., 22 Jun 2005
By Mrs. N. L. Vincendeau "nvincendeau" (Cranbrook) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Citizen Girl (Paperback)
Having read (and loved) the Nanny Diaries, I was really excited at the prospect of reading this book. It seemed to have a similar premise as "The Devil Wears Prada" (which WAS a good read), but it's first few chapters were bumpy, with no strong central character. The eponymous "Girl" is always referred to as "Girl" and I found that really annoying. Admittedly, the Nanny Diaries also has a nameless central character, always referred to as Nanny, and of course there are other books with a nameless central character, i.e. "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier, but in this case it seems to be a literary device that simply detracts from the story.

If you liked the Nanny Diaries and were thinking of reading this, take my advice, don't bother. It simply isn't anywhere near as good, and you'll be wasting your time and money. I don't really want to waste any more of my time reading it and I wish I'd chosen a better book to buy!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!, 8 May 2005
This review is from: Citizen Girl (Paperback)
I was really looking forward to reading this book, as the blurb seemed really witty. However, I was very disappointed.
Girl is stuck in a dead end job, where her degree goes to waste as all she ever seems to do is work in the toilet colour co-ordinating folders. One day she has enough, and is given her marching orders.
After a lot of moaning and worrying, she finds an excellent job with Guy for an woman's internet site. But is it all it seems?
There is also another storyline in the form of Buster, and his rude friends, but it was weak along with the rest of the book which actually confused me. I couldn't keep up with all the characters, which weren't relevant anyway, and the plot was bleak. Depressing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unrelentingly bleak., 14 Jan 2005
This review is from: Citizen Girl (Paperback)
I bought this book having quite enjoyed the authors' previous effort 'The Nanny Diaries'. That book was rather darker in tone than usual 'chick lit', detailing the nanny's troubled relationship with her employer, but contained some uplifting moments, such as the protagonist's relationship with the child under her care. This novel features a similarly downtrodden central character, 'Girl', who is fired from her job, after some difficulty lands a new one, only to discover that it was very far from what she expected. She encounters other problems and bad things happen to her in almost all aspects of her life. Although the novel is fairly well plotted, its unrelentingly bleak subject matter makes for a depressing read and the humour in it does not compensate for this. Disappointing.
