Book Reviews of Charlie All Night

Ok, so this wasn't my favorite Crusie by a long shot. But, a bad Crusie is better than most chick lit any day. This one seems fluffier and more mindless than the rest I've read, but still written with style and wit.

Crusie's books are good for a light read. Bring one to the beach or on a plane. Predictable and sappy...but fun!

I wasn't a Jennifer Crusie fan, but then I read this book and I've sort of changed my mind. If I can find more of her books written like this one, I'd be happy! This was cute and short, I like them that way:)

This book is v e r y "light" reading. Indeed, I am willing to bet that "My Pet Goat" has a more arresting plotline and more interesting characters. Still, if you want to do some truly undemanding reading, this is about on a par with a really predictable sitcom. Now, I realize this is no way to sell a book, but I thought it only fair to warn you. My conscience is clear... :)

light hearted, funny story. I read one of her books and then went ahead and bought a bunch, they really are humorous.

Sassy romance with an underlying (and largely superfluous) mystery. Typical Crusie -- which means it's better than 90% of the other chicklit books out there!

This was my first Jennifer Crusie novel! I liked it a lot. I will be trying some of her other books out. It was a fun light read!

I really didn't expect to like this much, but it was great! Sexy!

this is a very cute book with a lot of humor

Cute story..Made me laugh right out loud. What's not to love about Jennifer Crusie stories??

Anything by Jennifer Crusie, I love, but this one was a little hard to follow. It kind of skipped around, but by the end I was hooked!

Highly entertainning, fast paced and great one liners. You can't go wrong with Jennifer Crusie.

wicked sense of humor , keen insights into complexitites of modern relationships, and a way of making her characters seem genuine and her stories real...

Cute romance. Fun, light reading.

Cute, fun read. I really like Crusie's books - just enough humor, sex, romance.

This book was very fun and funny. I had many moments that I actually laughed out loud. Not as much of a Chick Lit book because there aren't really "problems" the main female role has to overcome. You get perspectives from both Allie and Charlie. It was a quick, enjoyable read, the characters were likable but human. Highly recommended.

Despite my prejudice against romance novels and chick lit in general I am a Crusie fan. That said this book is not the reason I'm a fan, in fact this book very thoroughly showcases why I developed my prejudice against the genre in the first place. It is so fluffy there is almost no content aside from badly written and unrealistic sex scenes and romantic relationships. Generally Crusie is hilarious and keeps me in stitches but this one fell way flat. It gets a 3 out of 5.

Jennifer Cruise writes some really funny outrageous laugh your butt off books. This one tends to be more romantic, but still funny. I like that she always has some stray love starved dog in each of her books. If you find you didnt like this one try another of her books.

[3.5 stars]
~ SUMMARY (from back cover) ~
Dumped by her boyfriend and demoted from WBBB's prime-time spot, radio producer Allie McGuffey has nowhere to go but up. She plans to make her comeback by turning temporary DJ Charlie Tenniel into a household name. And if he's willing to help her cure her breakup blues with a rebound fling, that's an added bonus.

Charlie just wants to kick back, play good tunes and eat Chinese food. He's not interested in becoming famous. But he is interested in Allie. And after all, what harm is a little chemistry between friends?

But suddenly their one-night stand has become a four-week addiction. Night after night on the airwaves, his voice seduces her ... and all the other women in town. He's a hit. It looks as if Charlie's solved all Allie's problems ... except one. What is she going to do when he leaves?

~ MY OPINION ~
CHARLIE ALL NIGHT is not my favorite Jennifer Crusie book and like a few of her other earlier ones feels more like a novella than a full-length novel. Regardless, it is an enjoyable read and very entertaining. The chemistry between Allie and Charlie is great and they have some fantastic dialogue, there are several humorous scenes, and the secondary characters are wonderful - especially Joe, Allie's gay roommate. All in all, the book is definitely worth checking out from the library (which is what I did).

In Charlie All Night, like in ANYONE BUT YOU, Crusie features a heroine who is both older than usually found in the genre (Allie is 36) and than the hero (though only by two years here - not the ten that separates the hero and heroine of Anyone But You).

My favorite Crusie books so far are: BET ME (5 stars - amazing!!), MANHUNTING (4 stars), and GETTING RID OF BRADLEY (4 stars). They are all both read- and buy-worthy!

Wow. This is a borderline erotica book with a very flimsy storyline.

The radio station is playing musical chairs with the drive time producer. When she is reassigned to the late nite slot and a new DJ, she is determined to make him the new star of the radio company. But, Charlie has another agenda, and doesn't want to be a star. Charlie All Night is a cute story.

Predictable and short but still cute.

When you read older works by many authors, you can clearly see their development as authors -- their early works pale in comparison to their newer stuff. Crusie is an exception. Her older titles are delightful, full of sparkling wit and wonderful characters.

"Charlie All Night" contains all the great Crusie elements -- two sensational characters drawn together despite themselves, great witty banter, and marvelous and -original- sensual writing. Throw in some meddling secondary characters and a cute puppy who only drinks his milk to Billy Joel, and you have a hoot of a story.

This book was an easy read and very enjoyable. Jennifer Cruise delivers!
