  "short stories from author's newspaper column" by Kodad1 (see profile) 07/28/08

I was disappointed in the book overall. I was hoping for more funny action adventure. She is a good writer, funny and light but I found only a couple of the stories a little entertaining.

 
  "Chapters are separate stand alone vignettes of her life experiences." by joleen (see profile) 07/28/08

Several members of our book club really hated the book and were disappointed in the book. The book does deal with the life of a 20 something protagonist -- so that did include some drinking. Some of our book club readers grew up in families where one of their parents had a drinking problem, so those chapters did not appeal to them.

That being said, there are still some hilarious bits in this book. Bathroom ediquete and "Moral Sex" are too funny!!

Read this book as it was intended -- a not serious view of life and you will enjoy maybe even a bit of reminiscing about your own days as a 20 something year old.

Very funny. Light, quick read.

 
  "Steph Kubik's review" by StephKubik (see profile) 08/25/10

I enjoyed the book. At first I didn't really relate to Laurie, I almost felt like the things she was saying about the other girls, that I was the "other girl"! But I as I got further into it, I could definitely relate to the stories and started comparing to my own experiences.

 
  "The Idiot Girls Action Adventure Club" by StephiWeffi (see profile) 08/29/10

Funny, lighthearted, easy read. Most everyone can identify with parts of the stories, if not the whole story or can think of someone that the stories remind them of. Nice break in between reading longer, more serious books.
