Summary: Great book by a great author
Review: I simply loved Me Times Three. I thought it was witty and smart and very well-written. It showed that the author behind it knew her way with words and characters. I read it in one evening because I couldn't tear myself away. It was both very funny and very sad and very true-to-life. And the style is so unique that it makes you enjoy even the deeply tragic moments of the book. I think there should be more books like that.

Summary: Three Too Many
Review: Like many of the reviewers, I was eager for this book. What a disappointment. I LOVE Alex Witchel, but the novel was badly written. Worse, it was boring. There are a few laughs, but too many cliches and no surprises. Which is too bad, because so much of her writing is lethally funny.

Summary: A Quick Read
Review: I happened to stumble into Me Times Three, and the title is what caught my attention. Although at some points throughout the book, I did chuckle, however, there were many characters that just "made an appearance" and then you never heard about them again. This got a little confusing.Over all, the book was good, however, would you really think your boyfriend would have 2 other financee's without you knowing?

Summary: I didn't want to put it down
Review: I read this book in two days, both of which I worked, if that has any indication of how much I enjoyed this book. The main character, Sandra, truly struck a chord in me of a troubled time in my life. Ms. Witchel did an amazingly accurate job of describing the emotional rollercoaster that Sandra was going through. At the same time the book kept me wanting more. When I was finished I was disappointed I had read it so fast. I recommend this book to anyone who had a break up that made them have to start life all over again.

Summary: Sadly, not worth it
Review: I couldn't wait to get this book. I enjoy this genre, and the hype behind this book (already set to be a motion picture starring Gwyneth Paltrow) made me think that it was a worthy read. However, the book is all over the place...so many different characters introduced and then erased from the page, and then all the flashbacks. This book doesn't seem to know what it wanted to be, and sadly it tries to be all and fails miserably.
Rating: 
Summary: Boring- cliche
Review: I dont understand what all the hype is about- obviously it helps to have connections.

Summary: god-awful
Review: This novel reads as if it were dictated during TV commercials. There's some occasional cleverness, but there isn't a drop of truth anywhere in this embarrassingly facile performance.

Summary: Eh...
Review: I wanted to like this book, but it simply bored me. Perhaps one had to be of that time and that place (New York in the 1980's) to get thrills out of the supposed true-to-life aspects of this book. But I don't see the appeal to the more average reader. I read a lot, and I have read a lot of similar books, but I just didn't get why this one was hyped, or even published. And did anyone else think the "good guy" with whom the protagonist ends up was an anal, selfish creep? I got to the end of this book and saw that the publishing house carefully informed us who the author's husband was, and thought: A-HA. That's why it's getting decent reviews. Fear of Frank Rich.

Summary: I liked it.
Review: I thought the premise of "Me Times Three" was very understandable and I could relate to the main character and what she was going through. I liked the whole year in the life aspect because that's why we read novels, to peer into someone else's life. This novel does a great job of that and convinced me I am better off not working for a magazine. All in all, the tone was like "Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing" (Melissa Bank)as it was sorta literary but the premise was similiar to "Heartbreaker" (Kim Corum) as it was also funny. But the story is wholly the authors and deserves a read. You should give it a fair read.

Summary: Ugh
Review: This is a terrible, terrible pile of words masquerading as a novel. It's almost like a satire of the entire genre: 'sassy' protagonist, self-loathing at her core and angry at all other (attractive) women and (uninterested) men. Ms. Witchel should stick to her nasty newspaper profiles and essays and stay away from fiction. She brings nothing but sad ... and clunky writing to the genre.
