review 1: Cute book written by several cheeky British ladies so you get the idea. It is formatted in a style of an encyclopedia so if you are looking for a book to just 'read' you may hate this. Even if you don't agree with all of their witty advice most ladies should enjoy the romp through topics as diverse as post-natal depression, sex, love, imitating French actresses, control freaks, courtesy, and handwritten letters.Example excerpt taken from the section on letter "D""Dilation"(pupils)If your pupils are dilating it may be to do with shock or pain or fabulous sex or it may be that you have taken too many recreational drugs. If the latter, it's a telltale sign easily spotted by canny teenagers and inquisitive bosses. Expensive sunglasses are helpful in these circumstances or ... moreyou could just ease up on the hallucinogenics. "Dishwashers"Many people spend more time loading and unloading the dishwasher than having sex. This is unwise.
review 2: This is a dictionary of thoughts and opinions by three women who share their myriad experiences to bear on topics such as marriage, infidelity, motherhood, sex, fashion, friendship, work, and self-discovery. Besides their own thoughts the authors share insights from famous and some infamous folks: Oscar Wilde, Coco Chanel, Mae West, Anais Nin and Shakespeare to name a few. Entries are alphabetical and cross-referenced by topic.I didn't agree with everything the ladies had to say, but some of it made me laugh out loud, some was thought provoking and it would definitely start lots of conversations especially among a group of female friends or at a book club. less
