review 1: I was slightly disappointed by this book. Emma Kennedy is usually very funny but this book lacked her usual spark. The story is that of two naive young English girls who go to America and then proceed to make a pigs ear of everything. They went in their early twenties. I went for the first time when I was 16 and didn't make anywhere near as many mistakes. I didn't feel empathy with the girls more a sense of dread in waiting for the next thing that would get cocked up.
review 2: Like The Tent, the Bucket and Me, this is a tale of the many mishaps and adventures of the author. It has sat on my bookshelf for quite a while, not because I didn't want to read it but because I had so many others to get through first. I enjoyed this book. The tale of an adventure in A... moremerica rings true at its core but I suspect it is embellished for dramatic and comedic effect. Not that I object to this, the key is did I like it and did it make me laugh and the and the answer is yes to both of these. Emphatically.I read it on the train and at home in the evening. Once I was in to it it was hard to put down. It is written with a light and easy style and the humour is deftly handled. I found myself liking the author for her honesty and lack of p retention. Mandy of the situations were genuinely funny and there were several laugh out loud moments.Like all good things the book seemed to end too fast as I was caught up in the tale.You shoulkd try this, its a fine read. less
