review 1: I've been a long-time reader of Catherine's excellent blog but really wasn't sure whether Results Not Typical, her debut novel, would be my kinda thing. How wrong I was.Read almost exclusively in two-minute bursts on my kindle app in various waiting rooms or tube journeys this was a thoroughly enjoyable read - enough to make me feel truly grateful for any delays I had to 'endure'.Great characters, a fun plot, all woven together with Catherine's trademark sassy narrative style - what's not to like.Definitely one of my favourite books this year.
review 2: I found this author through Kindle-trawling, and read her travel memories, which I found most amusing and neatly phrased, which led me to the immediate purchase of this, her first novel, which is similarly pleas... moreingly formed. Set in the world of corporate weight loss companies, anyone who's ever taken any foray into slimming clubs and diet land will recognise...an awful lot of well-observed truth, and cleverly-pointed hyperbolic conclusions to the 'current state of affairs'. Grittier and funnier than any other such thing I've read, this is a slightly convoluted, but ultimately satisfying tale of espionage and conspiracy and terrifying characters, which has confidence in its own style and keeps up a steady pace of wit and development. I look forward to Catherine Ryan Howard's next novel :) less
