review 1: ** Listened to audiobook **I've needed some light listening for work and I've recently discovered Jen Lancaster. While I liked the first two books I listened to (Bitter is the new Black and Here I go Again), this book was just terrible. Sure, I listened to the whole thing and laughed at a few parts, but overall I just didn't like this book. How the hell has a wealthy 40-something woman who lives in one of the largest cities in the US never eaten Indian food? Or Cuban food? Or been to live theater? It just seemed way too forced and way too goofy for my liking.
review 2: This had funny parts, but on the whole was less entertaining than The Tao. I like the idea of being cultured, but I don't connect to the way she went about it -- by eating food from other c... moreultures. I think part of the reason I don't connect with that is because I am not afraid of trying food from different cultures or food that is different than the food I grew up with. I also don't really connect with being addicted to reality TV. She talks about watching every season of The Real World since it began (we looked it up, The Real World has been on TV for 19 years!). There are some reality shows that I think are fun (Top Chef), but I don't watch much TV and I just don't really relate. Skip this one and read The Tao of Martha instead. less
