Laughed my butt off. Read entire passages outloud to my husband, so he could laugh also. Lent to my friend, but she didn't like it. So I'm thinking the humor of this book is the type you'll either love or hate. Very quick read as it's written like a blog, which is what it first was.

As a blog, this might have been fun to read and I might have laughed a few times. As a book, I find it dull and the funny moments are few and far between. In fact, I've given up less than 100 pages in. I don't give a hoot about Broke Angie.

1.5 stars. Not sure how hilarious got thrown in the title, this book didn't really do it for me. It was ok at best and I thought about laughing a few times but it didn't happen. Ang is a broke college student who can hardly afford ramen noodles and she damn near steals them because she is a couple cents short. If she put all the time and effort of scheming free food, looking through free ads and all other desperate attempts to survive she would've had the time to apply and find a better job with...more1.5 stars.

If she put all the time and effort of scheming free food, looking through free ads and all other desperate attempts to survive she would've had the time to apply and find a better job with more hours than the "little part time" job she had. Glad this is off my bookshelf, mostly a waste of time in my opinion.

A decent read that I read mostly to pass the time. It's funny at times, but maybe only because I can relate because I'm also a poor college student. Entertaining in a mediocre kind of way.

This book is sure to please quite a few people. But for me, the diary format and the way the tales were told just didn't quite float my boat. Decided not to finish it and passed it on.
