Book Reviews of The Anxiety of Everyday Objects

A different story, with an unpredictable plot. I really liked the way this was told, the point of view, the story itself. As a legal assistant myself, I laughed out loud at the observations the main character had. Enjoyable read.

The plot was a little predictable, but I thought the writer's style was easy and engrossing. This is a great beach book -- light, fun, entertaining.

Ehhh. (My first thought.)

Surprisingly hard to read considering the light and fluffy subject matter, probably due to the author's efforts to be clever. (My second thought.)

This is the storu of a hipster girl, working as a secretary, while thinking that she is a filmmaker, who discovers love and also that people are not what they seem. Sigh. At least the protagonist actually realizes, about, two-thirds through the book, that it is good idea if a film has something resembling a plot.

I tried, but I just couldn't get into this. I made it through the first 100 pages and I just didn't feel like going any further. It just couldn't grab my attention.

Cute. Good beach reading!

What a cute book. It was an easy read and enjoyable.

Winona Bartlett is a secretary of an NYC law firm, but has dreams of being a filmmaker. Enter Sandy Spires, the gorgeous, domineering, and blind new lawyer, who inspires Winona to continue working on her film. Office romances, secret meetings, disappointments and revelations - all is not necessarily as it appears. A fun read

Very well-written fiction about a secretary/filmmaker for a NYC law firm. Winona, the protagonist, is lost but likeable at the same time. Quick, easy but interesting read.
