I mostly enjoyed this book. Light, fun reading. There were only a few parts that were a bit unbelievable, but all-in-all it was a pretty fun story.

I usually love Mary Kay Andrews' books, especially the Savannah series. I really didn't enjoy this one. I never got a real connection to the characters and the language about drove me crazy. Read it if you are lacking anything else but don't put it on the top of your list.

One of the worst books I've read recently. I completely skipped over the fantasy parts; I found them very boring. Other then a few humorous quips, this books is awful.

I enjoyed this book even though I figured out "whodunit" pretty early on. Quick fun read, loved the main characters.

I thought I would be the only one who didn't care for this one! I usually love Jane Green but this book seemed so monotone the whole way though. I got 3/4 of the way through it and wondered if anything was going to happen to actually tell a story.

I finally got this book after 2 years of it being on my WL. I should have saved the space for something better. I struggled to finish reading it. I lost track of some of the characters and sometimes had no idea what she was talking about. I was really hoping this one was going to be a lot better than it was.


Hell Is Other Parents: And Other Tales of Maternal Combustion
Review Date: 3/22/2011


I thought this was going to be a book about regular parents. Turned out to mostly be about a stage mom. I lost interest about halfway through.

I really wish this would have been a work of fiction because it would have been easier to take. The book reads like fiction, and would have been a lot lighter and funnier if it was. The author is not a "hip mother-to-be". She is an idiot.

If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be "sucked". Not one character was likeable. The story was slow moving. I skipped the entire middle of the book. I was really looking forward to this one and was disappointed.

Although I commend Alice Sebold for telling her story so honestly, I found the book itself a little hard to follow.

This book was boring at best. Repetitive and whiny, Kelly often reminds us of how everyone and everything is beneath her. By only working one day a week in retail she did not have nearly enough experience to write a memoir about it, thus filling the pages of how she "was a journalist". She came across as neither likeable or relatable. I'm not really sure how this even became a book.

I didn't really enjoy this book. There was really no point to the story and there was no character that was likeable. I've read better books by this author.

Too many characters to keep track of. No character was really likeable. Very hard book to get into. There was barely a plot. I impressed myself by finishing the entire book.
