Summary: Lance's Book Review
Review: Jane or should that be Janie when editing one of the manuscripts remarks that "the author wants to be the next Faulkner and maybe he is but i can't get past the first chapter". Maybe this is self ironical because when i read it maybe Ms.Bank wants to be the next Helen Fielding (Bridget Jones), Marian Keyes (Lucy Sullivan is getting married) or Terri Paddock (Beware of the Dwarfs) because this novel is disjointed after the first chapter.Some might say because i'm a guy i shouldn't be reading chick flicks but since the success of BJ's Diary i have read other books of this genre. Well if this is the American Version of Bridget Jones, i am terribly disappointed in this bleak New York novel. I recommend you either skip the book or borrow it from your library so that you won't be disappointed that you shelled out your humble dollar on this novel.

Summary: A TIME KILLER WHILE ON VACATION
Review: I bought this book while on vacation. I was looking for something light and fluffy and entertaining - nothing deep. The review on the jacket led me to believe something different about the content. I was disappointed in the overall story, but I did read the entire book. I couldn't get "into" Jane's character. I was pretty much glad when I'd finished reading the book.

Summary: Enjoy this book!
Review: Banks is great at writing clever observations about people and events. I assume there's some autobiographical content here too. One reviewer from Georgia criticized the chapter to chapter differences in Jane, the main character. Well, since the book covers some twenty years in Jane's life, each chapter told in the present tense, only a Nancy Drew book would portray a character that doesn't change or grow up. This book was refreshing and funny, even though it's go plenty of serious aspects. This is the 4th or 5th book I read this year whose main characters work in publishing. Without exception, the authors portray the publishing business as one hellish business, especially the women who work in it. Ignore the snobbish reviews - this is a fun book. Glad I bought it.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: I wish I had realized that GGHF was a collection of short stories. I went into the book thinking it was a novel and came out thoroughly disappointed that what I thought were chapters were really short stories. But, that is besides the point. Once I figured out what was going on, I enjoyed the book, but not to the point I have enjoyed other books I've read this summer. I thought Jane was a great character, and if this had been a novel the much needed (and wanted on my part)characterization of Jane would have been available. I wanted to know more about Jane, and while the stories span her young adult lifetime, I wasn't fulfilled. I didn't feel like I knew her. The final story in the collection, the title story, was a treat. I thought it spoke mounds about the dating game and all those crazy self help books. I loved how Jane's relationship finally worked out once she dumped those crazy rules. Overall, nice easy summer reading. Take a break with this one.

Summary: could've been good but disappointing
Review: I liked Ms. Bank's crisp writing style and some of it was genuinely funny and truthful, but in the end, I couldn't see any real growth or depth to her character, Jane. Jane merely learns in the end (Spoiler warning) that being herself is better than following "the Rules" to land her man - duh, hasn't this theme been recycled a million times already? Hopefully, Ms. Bank's next book will be more focused and won't have a cop out ending like this one.

Summary: A true cut and paste...
Review: It's ironic that the main character of this novel started her carreer as an editor, for the book was in desperate need of editing. The chapters were very incongruous and confusing--as if she wrote them all seperately and put them together in a random order. I almost felt as if "Jane" was a different person in each chapter, and that the collective "Jane" represented an every-woman. Looking at it that way, the book was not bad. But assuming Jane was the same person throughout the book...I don't know how this got published really. It was written very much on the surface--I saw the book as a person who is afraid to let anyone see his true self. Unfortuantely in this case, the gilded covering was a little too thin--It was plainly visible that there was nothing below the surface.

Summary: so funny, so real
Review: This book is hilarious! Melissa Bank is wonderfully witty. I'm not usually the type to laugh at books, but almost every page contains a clever line. The author takes you through a woman's life, from age 14 to thirty-something, and her struggle to understand love. She goes through a series of relationships and tries to find meaning in her life. When she meets the right guy, she plays mindgames, plays by "The Rules" before learning that real connection is more complicated and more wonderful than that. The only bad part about this book is that you feel a very slight distance from Jane throughout most of it, but by the end all is well.

Summary: A GIRL'S MUST HAVE...WITTY.
Review: I read this in a day and I don't do that very often. This is the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud. If you are a girl, you can relate, laugh, and cry with the character of Jane. Jane's sarcasm keeps you in awe. The odd thing is that each chapter is like a new exerpt in her life, yet you can still follow. I have loaned this book out to just about every girl I know!
